Can the Southside really claim Joliet? I think you can claim the greater Harvey/Markham/Blue Island area but Joliet is burbs :)

Good enough for Joliet Jake and Elwood ;).

But then again, those were the guys who put a "Welcome to Chicago" sign in front of McCormick Place, so maybe that idiotic minstral act doesn't count...

My brother lived in Joliet before he died and I've worked gigs there (as well as day job there when I worked for the state.) Trust me, most of Joliet is indistinguishable in look and feel from 47th and Wentworth. The Checkerboard Lounge would'a fit right in there. It's probably for the most part more Southside-ish than my own neighborhood is, and I AM in the city.

Besids, if the northsiders can claim Crystal Lake as part of their territory, I figure I should be allowed all the way down to Peotone! :D

I have a couple of friends who live in diffrent parts of Homer Glen - in fact one of them is the guy with whom we built our first home studio in his partent's basement in Palos Heights back in '79. The other guy fronts the Everly Brothers and runs his own home studio in his basement. It's actually pretty nice out in Homer Glen, not similar in look and feel to Joliet or 47th & Wentworth at all. :)

And they mention Mokena in there. When I was a teen I used to work at a Burger King with a guy who became my friend for several years; we used to hang out and listen to Rush albums a lot. In fact it was through him that I first met the guy with whom I built the home studio. I still remember when 2112 first came out and we played it for the first time on his parent's console stereo :rolleyes:. The guy's name was Joe Werner and he is now mayor of Mokena :).

So yeah, it's all good, all part of the same club gig circuit, and all part of the south side experience for many of us.

WHile you can keep Kankakee, AFIC, I do get to claim Burbonais as the southern border. Then I get to include Bears training camp and Coyote Canyon as part of the turf :D.

I assume he means that he can't see the Tribune article. I'm not registered there but I can see it.

In any case, the headline is "Joliet man is charged with attempted murder in shooting of audio engineer at recording studio". Guy was found shot in a booth.

I guess this is one reason to get those kevlar monitors. Not sure about which compression would sound best on material like this. Gunshots like a little verb though because it's probably too 'dead' in a booth. Sorry.

My assumption, knowing the vibe on Ruby street in Joliet, is that the terms "audio engineer" and "recording studio" apply only very loosely.

Especially considering that was a link through Yahoo News, I'm suprised it blocked him. Unless the Trib just managed to move that story to the archives since the time I found and posted it.

:D. And all this time I thought Alton Everest always recommended angled 2" Lexan for the studio "glass" for it's sonic inertness and to minimize light reflection. Turns out it has a more practical purpose too.

Hmmm...I just tried it again, and it works for me. Maybe me and Phil still have some old Chicago Tribune cooke on our systems that lets us in. Anyway for those who can't get to it, here it is:
Chicago Tribune said:
Joliet man is charged with attempted murder in shooting of audio engineer at recording studio
By Emma Graves Fitzsimmons | Tribune reporter
January 16, 2008

A Joliet man was charged with attempted murder Tuesday in a weekend shooting that left an audio engineer at a recording studio hospitalized with a serious brain injury.

Police were called early Saturday to the I Eat U Eat Sound Lab at 343 Ruby St. after an upstairs resident found a 19-year-old man with a gunshot wound in the head inside a recording booth.

The man was taken to Provena St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet with a severe brain injury and remained in critical condition Tuesday, officials said.

"The shooting appears to have stemmed from [the victim's] loyalty to the art of sound engineering for music's sake rather than his desire to be involved in gangs," said Patrick Kerr, deputy chief of the Joliet Police Department.

Alexander Moore, 18, of the 200 block of Fairbanks Avenue was charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm, a spokeswoman for the Illinois attorney general's office said. He was arrested at his home Sunday.

A 16-year-old boy also was charged with two counts of concealing or aiding a fugitive and one count of obstructing justice.

Because the mother of the man who was shot is an employee of the Will County state's attorney's office, the Illinois attorney general's office is handling the case

It's that cop quote in the 4th paragraph where we need to replace the word "gangs" with the word "loudness". ;)
