Big Bend No. 2 is a fresh take on a drink you may remember from our Fall 2010 menu: cayenne pepper-infused tequila, cherry brandy, and lime juice. This new interpretation
adds a slight bitter component and refi nes the spiciness.
By using a Chipotle tincture instead of infusing the spirit itself with the pepper, I can more accurately gauge the level
of spice in each cocktail. There is also a new level of complexity in this year’s model as well, courtesy of Cynar. The
Italian bitters adds a slight bitter element, as well as some
savory artichoke flavor.
When it came to naming this drink, I wanted to remain true to its roots—hence the ‘No. 2’. Because this recipe is an improved version of a cocktail we’ve served in the
past, I’m keeping with the great tradition of other secondgeneration cocktails (such as Corpse Reviver No. 2) and
calling it Big Bend No. 2.
We haven’t had a spicy cocktail on the menu since
the Big Bend No. 2’s predecessor last fall, and the return
of cold weather seemed like the perfect impetus to add
some heat to the menu. It’s a great way to warm up after
the cider’s run out.

Are you an expert at juggling knives? Can you
change a bike tire in under a minute? Can you
quiet a colicky infant? (No infants under 21 years
of age are permitted in the Whistler.) Can you do
a belizable (sic) Rodney Dangerfield impression?
Have you been secretly writing a stand-up routine that may or may not end with a marriage proposal? Then the Second Annual Whistler Talent
Show is for you!
Are you completely untalented? Don’t
worry, the Whistler’s Talent Show has an arsenal of entertainments for the casual observer. We
put our hosts, Seth Dodson and Kellen Alexander, through a rigorous selection process. (They
had to win The FIRST Annual Whistler Talent
Show.) Even our panel of “celebrity” judges will
have you rolling with laughter and diluting your
cocktails with tears of joy.
Just as last year, there will be an ApBILL MACKAY
plause-o-Meter and prizes of value awarded at
random. This is a celebration, not a competition

Glad Cloud is a monthly series that celebrates the
rich landscape of Chicago musicians working with
ambient music. Curated by Benjamin Mjolsness,
the series provides an opportunity for ambient artists to color the air, walls, and liquids of The Whistler in a deliberately non-intrusive manner. Visitors
can enjoy their cocktails and companions while the
music envelops the room around them.
Bullet Hell is Jacob Kart (Crush Kill Destroy, A Tundra), Jaimie Branch (Musket, Branch/
Riordan), and video artist Theodore Darst. Bullet
Hell plays improvised music and videos inspired by
the upbeat soundtracks and futuristic iconography
of the classic “bullet hell” video games. Bullet Hell
performs with analog synthesizers and real time
video manipulation.

NICK
B UTCH E R
Diving deep into Chicago’s rich musical legacy,
Nick Butcher’s new project, Free Jazz Bitmaps,
take cues from two of the city’s most beloved
genres: house music and free jazz. Using material culled from discarded house and jazz records,
accompanied by his own instrumentation, Butcher is producing upbeat, dance-inspired music,
referencing the tonal and rhythmic nuances of
both genres.
The series, co-presented by Sonnenzimmer and Hometapes, will consist of six extremely
limited edition, lathe-cut 7"’s (just ten copies per
release!) housed in screen printed sleeves featuring cover art by Nadine Nakanishi. The entire collection will then be released early next year in a
more widely-available 12" LP along with reinterpretations of the songs by renowned Chicago improvisers Jason Adasiewicz, Tim Daisy, Keefe Jackson,
Mike Reed, Jason Reobke, and Jason Stein.
Tonight’s show celebrates the release of
the sixth and final installment of Free Jazz Bitmaps. Butcher will also be taking pre-orders
for the 12” LP and giving away limited edition,
screen printed posters with each order.
SETH & KELLEN
YMTE is a live talk show and podcast hosted
by Brandon Wetherbee and Esmerelda Leon.
Special guests include local improv duo Seth &
Kellen, Whistler co-owner and head bartender
Paul McGee, and live music by Cains & Abels.
