The performance art show A Night of Firsts was held at the Cafe, located at 5115 North Lincoln Ave. (just south of Foster) on June 22 2004 in Chicago, IL. This show (entirely by J. Kuypers), was of three original poems and three original songs, an image display projected along the wall, and even two televisions so people could more easily see her and John Yotko the guitarist as the show progressed. Click from your choices of the show for parts of the live show.
