The Fast

5pm-Midnight | Free, 21+THE FAST & THE FURRIEST A festive screening of select films from the Fast & Furious archive. Hosted by Peg (the cat), Hanna Hazzard, and Jillian. ALL ROADS LEAD TO EMPTY BOTTLE. Open your mind and use your imagination...Its December 25th, 2023.4:38pm. Cold Chicago air blows through the cracks in your windshield while you wait for your car to heat up, the chill breeze clawing and burning your lungs like road rash. You might have gotten an invitation to a dinner or gift exchange under the pretext of some symbolic spruce or pine. But you dont need none of that. You got a tuna sandwich (no crust) in hand and an ice cold Corona waiting at the finish line. You live your life a quarter mile at a time and right now youre revving on the corner of Western re free. You dont have friends. You have FAMILY. As you get out of your car and walk up the sidewalk, a few lonely snowflakes begin to fall through the dark December sky. It gets dark so early now. You dont mind.You open the steel door under the flicker of the candescent awning lights (Music. Friendly. Dancing.) and a blast of warm air hits you like a brick through a window. Youre greeted by A Cat (Peg). Purr, purr. Meon, purrrr. ** she says as you step into the dim lit Empty Bottle bar. You smile and quietly say to yourself, The most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here, right now. **Translation: Hello. Welcome. I am a cat and these are my favorite movies. Give me food or die.
