"GIRLS RULE!"
CHICAGO!

Freakeasy is back with Freakeasy #998!  That's right, we're counting backwards from 1000 on New Years 2014!  
Let's continue to rage through Winter 2014 in Freaky style!  On Saturday March 8th, The Freakeasy returns with a focus on our community's amazing Women!!  We're celebrating "International Women's Day"!  An honor started right here in Chicago in 1908, supporting Woman's rights across the globe.!  A percentage of proceeds will go to help the Woman's rights organization "Chicago NOW" ! 

Let's keep it on track, and not move back, people!

Ask First : Respect Community : Leave No Trace : Dress To Kill™

You most likely have seen these words "Ask First : Respect Community : Leave No Trace" on community announcements, websites, and events. They are not Cliche', they are our community rules... Following these simple rules will go a long way in making "everyone's" experience a positive one.

If you do not know what they mean, we'd love share some examples :

#1: Ask First:
- Is it OK if I touch you?
- Can I take your photo?
- Can I use this glass?
- I'd like to spin fire, is that ok?
- Where's the garbage?

#2: Respect Community:
- Do not tag artwork or walls
- Do not smoke where there is "no smoking sign"
- Do not interrupt an artist while they're performing.
- Men's Bathroom is for Men, Women's is for Women
- Be considerate of our venue's neighbors, too much noise outside, peeing in their bushes, parking in illegal spaces, etc..
- Locking bicycles up to fenced gates can cause serious problems, think about it.
- People work REALLY hard to make fun things happen for you (and for no pay), please treat them and EVERYONE nice and courteously.
- Think about a little community police-ing too... see someone suspicious or someone acting like a foo at an event... find an organizer or security person and let 'em know.

#3. Leave No Trace !
- Pack it in, Pack it out
- you might have heard of the term MOOP. MOOP = Matter Out Of Place
- See a cup on the floor, throw it out, even if it is not yours
- Sticking Chewing Gum on walls sucks, sticking chewing gum on plants? even worse!
- Artwork w. MOOP-ish qualities not good. (i.e. things that fall off them and become trash on the floor)
- "Feathers" in your outfit become floor trash all the time, good look, bad idea.

These are just a few examples, BUT WE HOPE YOU GET THE POINT!

Burners Unite!
