Benefit to help Klas Restaurant keep from closing....THIS WEEKEND FESTIVAL

[Bungalocity]

Please read the below, support this effort and pass along this urgent email!

Hello Everyone!

There will be a benefit festival this weekend, Friday Nov. 20 through Sunday Nov. 22 to raise money to help with repairs necessary to keep the historic Klas Restaurant open.  As many of you know, it is the oldest Bohemian – American Restaurant still operating in the United States.  Its old world architecture (with wood brought in from the Czech Republic ) and colorful history (as an Al Capone hang out during prohibition) needs to be preserved in this age of tearing down the old to build new.  Frank is struggling to find the funds to make the state mandated repairs (roof, plumbing and electrical need to be brought up to code) to keep this beautiful building a fully functioning restaurant that all of us can enjoy.

Ciba has organized this 3 day event which includes DJ Delfin, some awesome bands mixed with some Czech theater and hopefully even some Slovak folk dancing.  There will be some food provided later on in the evenings.  Our goal is to raise enough money to repair the roof and then some.

Klas Restaurant                     Donation $10 at the door.
5734 W. Cermak Road            Doors will open on Friday at 7pm
Cicero , IL 60804                     Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 5pm
708-652-0795                       

Ciba and Rhythm on 22nd will be playing on Saturday Nov. 21st after the Czech theater comedy quartet followed by Toby and the Tremors and closing out with Worldband (C & R on 22 with Janey Age).

On Friday night Nov. 20th, for your enjoyment Distant Relation will start off the evening followed by Logical Chaos 2, the Czech theater comedy quartet, Skamacity and ending with Hazard.

Sunday Nov. 22nd will feature theater Bohemia performing the whole production of Divci Valka followed by our friends Voodoo Monkey Child (with lead singer Janey Age), C.I.A. (Czechs in America got back together just for this benefit so if you have missed their Czech folk rock – kind of like Celtic rock – then you can't afford to miss this) and possibly closing with the Slovak dance ensemble Veselica.

Please come out and help us save this amazing place.  If you can't come on Saturday to see us play, then at least come out on Friday or Sunday to show your support.  Even if you just come for dinner, please bring an extra $10 per person to donate for a very worthy cause.

Thanking you all in advance,

Alice , Ciba and Rhythm on 22nd
