TXA TXA Supper Club Vol.14 Outside the Garden
We’re stoked to be hosting the fine folks at txa txa for the 14th volume of their monthly supper club. Please go to their website for more information and to book tickets, if available.
Join us for a virtually organic transformation of space and atmosphere. Watch as this late summer bounty of a menu unfolds with hearty summer salads, comforting Spanish tortillas, tin fishes, and baked breads. Think picnic by candle light meets secret garden video installation.
We, Women: Tonika Lewis Johnson // 5pm
Tonika Lewis Johnson will discuss how she came to use her creativity to explore urban segregation in Chicago with her Folded Map project and how it can serve as a resource for understanding, as an empathy generator, and as a conduit for action. This screening is presented as part of the We, Women: The Power of We, a public exhibition on The 606.
Opening Party!!
Come see the new space! We’re opening the doors for whoever would like to stop in and take a peek, enjoy a beverage and some snacks, and say hello.
Next Thursday — June 2nd — 4pm til 9pm
We’re upstairs in Kimball Arts Center (1757 N Kimball Ave) overlooking The 606. If the upstairs door is locked, you can buzz us for entry or check back here for a party code.
Hope to See You Soon! 🎉
happy friday!
It’s technically the last day of the main build, which is amazing. The Underlit bar wall is getting sanded and painted along with spot painting and caulking in the rest of the space. Excited to have people over next week to enjoy the space and hang! Have a great weekend, y’all! 👍
the end of the drywalling
Holy Moses! It’s finally coming to an end! I’d never experienced a buildout before and had no idea how invasive drywall dust can be. The shit. Gets. Everywhere!!
Now that it’s wrapping up we can give the space a nice deep clean and really get things moving in here. Also, this is where the bar “set” is going to go, which will be a bit of a WIP for a few months. Talk more soon!
sysCinema: Guardians of the Galaxy (dbl feat) // 6:30pm, 9pm
🎞 We’re going back-to-back Guardians 1 & 2 on Friday night. We’ll have the popcorn, you bring the beverages. Buzz up or text me for door code.
home stretch
Today’s a big day at sys! The last of the countertops are being set, three sinks are going in, garbage disposal, a dishwasher, a new toilet, the final cabinet pieces and under-cabinet lighting, the tankless water heater. What am I forgetting?! 🤪
sysCinema: Encanto // 8:30pm
🎞 We’ve got Pixar’s Encanto on the big wall starting at 8:30pm!
Tile Day, yay!
Kitchen and bathroom tiles are going in today/tomorrow. Once done, the plumbing can get finished and we’ll have a fully functioning kitchen along with a nice new in-unit bathroom. Very exciting stuff!
Freezer One has landed
Okay, a bit of a silly update but just wanted to document that the kitchen is still coming together. We’ve now got a big ass freezer to accompany our big ass fridge. Book the space for your food or beverage shoot or event now so I don’t fill this sucker full of frozen pizzas for myself!
