The guy who used to run Medusa's still throws club nites, but he doesn't have an actual space. Last I heard, he had a nite in Elgin, IL, and I used to go to Medusas at the Congress theater back around 92-93. I haven't heard much of him lately, but I haven't really been looking.

When I went to college in Mich. I'd drive in with my Chicago friends and hit Medusa's every once in a while. This was like 1988-1990, and it was definitely on Sheffield Ave. right around Clark and Belmont. Lots of Front 242, Ministry, etc., played at tympanic membrane-rupturing volumes. The spectacle was fun, but I quickly decided I liked places where I could conduct actual conversations with my friends, instead everybody standing around and nodding like they can make out what the others are saying. I think the building was taken over by an insurance company or something.

who wants conversation, when all it's going to consist of is what shade of black you were going to wear tonight?
