CHIRP, or the Chicago Independent Radio Project, now has a space for its studio and alchemy laboratory. This is most triumphant. We’re now almost ready to start the web broadcast, and with the Local Community Radio Act moving to the House this fall with bipartisan support, it looks like CHIRP will be pretty close to having a terrestrial signal as well, pretty soon. So, the new home of CHIRP is the second floor of The Dank Haus, Chicago’s German-American cultural center. My seven or so years of studying German throughout middle and high school will now pay off handsomely.
Having come of age with many pothead friends, it will be hard for me, at first, to dissociate “dank” with “weed.” This is rather annoying. With that said, I still think it’s very cool that our LP and Internet radio station will be housed in a pretty awesome (and graciously generous) community center.
