May 28th Lunacy @ Vision LightningMan, Black Market Chicago and Localsound Presents Chris Gin and Angelist bring the past and present together with A “dance floor first†mentality. Angelist’s endless supply of white labels and test pressings, combined with Gin’s huge collection of classics will result in aural insanity.

THE PERFORMANCES: The Sinstress Sideshow featuring Miss Maya explores the boundaries of performance art, costume design and human sexuality. They invite you to experience the roaring 2000’s inside the context of the DJ team’s set. Watch, keep on dancing or even participate in the show with complimentary Polaroids with the girls in costume to commemorate your own personal Lunacy. This month’s performance promises “stimulation†with an “Eyes Wide Shut†Theme! THE ENVIRONMENT: Optical Sensory Input by: Lightning Man Illumination by: Men D.
