In a Nutshell

Rolling Stone-praised mash-up maestro incites electronic-music bash amid confetti and throngs of dancing fans

The Fine Print

The thrill of seeing one's favorite musicians in concert often alleviates the stress of modern life and the sweaty delirium from contracting Beatlemania. Enjoy an aural antidote with this GrouponLive deal to a North Coast Music Festival official after-party featuring Girl Talk and Zion I at Congress Theater. For $20, you get one general-admission ticket on Friday, August 31, at 9:30 p.m. (up to a $35.62 value, including all fees).

Known to fans as Girl Talk, Gregg Gillis collages pop and rap samples into new songs that have engendered countless epic dance parties and praise from Rolling Stone. Although scheduled to play the North Coast Music Festival on Saturday, September 1, Gillis takes the Congress Theater's stage the night before, luring listeners into a web of laptop-fueled revelry with juicy pop hooks. His set will likely include tracks from 2010's All Day, an album built from snippets of tunes by Jay-Z, U2, Daft Punk, and hundreds of other artists. Swathed in party paraphernalia such as confetti and toilet-paper streamers, each live show is wilder than a trip to a petting zoo stocked entirely with grizzly bears. Opening hip-hop duo Zion I furthers the kaleidoscopic nature of the evening by mixing trip-hop beats with spiritually charged lyrics.

Crowd members get to dance and thrash amidst the historic confines of the Congress Theater. A former movie palace built in 1927, the cavernous venue is registered as a Chicago Landmark, sheltering fans under an intricate, domed ceiling that's perfect for jetpack escapes when the party gets too crowded.

Congress Theater

With its gargantuan ballroom space, the Congress Theater is just as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the ears. The former movie palace, which boasts a curved upper deck lined with red-velvet seats, beckons concertgoers to its lushly vintage confines for country-music shows, bluegrass festivals, and electronic-music performances. Regardless of the act, audience members revel beneath an ornately decorated domed ceiling that's perfect for jetpack escapes when the dance floor gets too crowded. The theater also is branching out into its surrounding neighborhood by filling attached storefronts with restaurants, small grocers, and other community partners.

The Groupon Guide to: Made-for-TV Movies

Any aspiring actress, singer, or model/comedienne/favourite daughter can kick her career into high gear by starring in a sad yet thrilling made-for-TV motion picture. If you’re looking for your vehicle to stardom, try taking the lead in one of these prime-time-ready plots:

Sin to the Looking Glass: A woman wakes up to find her fraternal twin sister cooking breakfast for her and her husband. She can’t tell if this is weird or nice until she remembers that her husband can’t tell her and her twin apart. It’s too late because her husband has already woken up in a fun mood and had fun with the twin. The woman knows what she has to do.

Really Going Bump in the Night: A woman goes to bed, only to hear the sound of her husband moving around. Thinking that he’s being abducted, she swings a lamp at his abductor. She hears two bodies fall to the ground and realizes he was actually just cheating on her. She knows what she has done.

Holding Court: A woman is walking around the mall living a normal life when she runs into her son’s sexy but lonely basketball coach at the food court. In a fit of passion, she cheats on her husband with the coach right then and there. She immediately regrets having committed this very personal act in a public place. She knows what she must do to all the witnesses.

Is a mall food court a good place to have an affair?
