Yes, it’s true, Chicago’s dance show for kids of all ages is about to tape their 400th episode. For those of you not in the know, Chic-A -Go-Go is kind of like American Bandstand if American Bandstand booked people like Bobby Conn and was hosted by a bubbly girl and a rat. What’s even better is that anyone can attend the tapings, get all dressed up in their favorite outfit — mine is a lampshade with nothing else — and dance their little butts off on-screen alongside that episode’s musical guests.

Speaking of musical guests, did I tell you who Chic-A-Host-Host Mia Park has lined up for ep number four hundred? Shonen Knife, The Mekons, Justin Pomerleau and C.E.X. Yowza. I’d pay to see a line-up but I can’t, because it’s absolutely FREE to attend the taping! The deets? No problem:
