No Chicago Comedy Festival In 2004

Just got an email from someone close to the Chicago Comedy Festival:

I just spoke with Dan Carlson and it looks like the festival won’t be happening this year after all. Despite his best efforts sufficient sponsorship isn’t in place, Chicago isn’t providing the necessary support… He appreciates all the submissions and inquiries.

The official site of the Chicago Comedy Festival is static– just the logo, nothing else, just as it has been for months. Too bad. We attended all or part of three Chicago’s (We’ll try to jigger the HTML on all of our CHICAGO FEST coverage in the next 48 hours. So check back.) and it was a great fest. And, even though we’re speaking of it in the past tense, we do believe that it will rise again. It’s too good of an idea not to.
