Jackpot Donnie live at Elbo Room
Where: Elbo Room (Chicago)
Date: 2007-10-13 21:00:00
Type:
With a unique blend of music that has been an evolving life form since 2003, Jackpot Donnie is a true Chicago original. The recipe is simple but hard to replicate. Mix a fifth of hard rock, a half-pint of reggae, and a shot of funk and you might find JPD. You've not discovered the real treasure that is Jackpot Donnie until you've topped things off with rugged vocals and dueling guitar riffs. Add some thunderous drum play, bass lines fit for a tightrope, and JACKPOT: you've found Donnie! JPD has been showcasing their high energy live show throughout the Chicago music scene, looking to move crowds with their truly original sound. Known for their ability to play to any room (the band has headlined at great venues such as Elbo Room and Wise Fools Pub), they are establishing themselves as one of Chicago's up and coming live bands.

Dr. Heidi Squier Kraft, "Rule Number Two: Lessons I Learned ...
Where: Pritzker Military Library
Date: 2008-02-07 18:00:00
Type:
Tales of the fearsome camel spider are told throughout Iraq. In truth, it is about the size of a human hand, and it is quite fast. It runs at five miles an hour, sometimes even more, determined to stay in a newfound shadow – a slow-moving Humvee, for example, or a clinical psychologist on her way back to her barracks from the shower. On Thursday, February 7th, Dr. Heidi Squier Kraft will appear at the Pritzker Military Library to discuss her new book, "Rule Number Two: Lessons I Learned in a Combat Hospital". This program is free and open to the public. The presentation and live webcast will begin at 6:00 p.m., preceded by a reception for Library members at 5:00 p.m. It will also be recorded for television broadcast on WYCC-TV/Channel 20. "Rule Number Two" is a first-hand account of seven months with a Marine Corps surgical company, immersed in Iraq, earth-shaking artillery rounds, and the all-encompassing desert. Kraft chronicles the “good-egg days” and “bad-egg days”, orange sunsets and red sunrises, and the feeling of long-sleeved combat fatigues in 132 degree heat. She deployed to Iraq with less than two weeks notice, leaving fifteen month old twins at home. "Rule Number Two" conveys the agonizing experience of a mother separated from her children – and the ways that people help each other through unimaginable situations. More than anything else, though, Kraft’s story is about a sense of awe at the soldiers who were brought to her combat hospital – some with severe injuries from battle, and others bearing wounds no surgeon could uncover – and the painful truth of the two rules of war, as told in the television show "M*A*S*H": rule number one is that young men die, and rule number two is that doctors can’t change rule number one. Heidi Squier Kraft received her PhD in clinical psychology from the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine in 1996. She joined the Navy during her internship and served as both a flight and a clinical psychologist. She left active duty in 2005 after nine years in the Navy and now serves as the deputy coordinator for the U.S. Navy Combat Stress Control Program. She lives in San Diego with her husband and children. Seating for this event is limited, so reservations are recommended. Call 312.587.0234 or email events@pritzkermilitarylibrary.net.
