The List

Hump This

Wear: RZST Tees
At Metropark: 2042 N Halsted St, between W Armitage and W Dickens; Sheffield/De Paul; 773.634.5009

This brazen tee line's brazen offerings include a bullet-necklaced vixen and a classically posed undead damsel with antlers coming out of her skull -- which goes against everything you ever learned from Big Buck Hunter.

Watch: Luche Libre Mexicana
8pm Fri at Congress Theater: 2135 N Milwaukee Ave, at N Rockwell; Logan Square; 312.458.9668

Three hours of bone-crushing Mexican wrestling culminates in a six-way championship tag team featuring the likes of Mil Mascaras, Mascara Sagrada and Mascara 2000 -- heckle them about sounding like a cosmetics line, and they will fly into a murderous rouge.

Buy: Ork Posters

Available in three color schemes, these posters depict 91 Chicago 'hoods typographically; great for finding larger zones like Midway, it's unfortunately also great for not finding Calumet.

Go: NHL Alumni Wine Signings
6-8pm Fri at Binny’s: 1132 S Jefferson St, at W Greenshaw; South Loop; 312.768.4400

To promote the NHL-branded Alumni Wine Series, Blackhawk icons Bobby Hull (2007 Chardonnay) and Tony Espositio (2005 Cabernet Sauvignon) are signing bottles of their signature vinos -- because when your team hasn't won the Cup since '61, you need the occasional glass.
