This week: Duncan talks with James Elkins about his forthcoming round table at Art Chicago, and the art Phd. Like you didn't have enough student loan debt.BAS Boston's Matthew Nash talks to comic artist Liz Prince about her work, and her excellent book "Will you still love me if I wet the bed?" Go, right now, buy it.

Here we stand, at the beginning of the most exciting part of our Art Year: opening night.  So, what do we do? We return to past form, act like idiots, and debate the state of the Chicago Art World and Art Chicago with Michael Workman. Also, a sober and sick Duncan MacKenzie can't handle a rowdy and drunken Bad at Sports crew and totally melts down, then screams repeatedly at Richard Holland?  Could the band be breaking up?  Speculation ensues. Let your hate mail begin.
