Stop By Alliance Bakery or Small Bar for Food, Drink & A Tax Extension

Stop by Alliance Bakery, 1736 W. Division St., between 10am an 10pm on April 17 or Small Bar, 2049 W. Division St., between noon and midnight on April 18 and the folks from RockstarCPA will be on hand to electronically file tax extensions – it will push your tax filing deadline back to Oct. 17. If you owe taxes though, they’re still due now. Per the information on the IRS form 4868:

“Although you are not required to make a payment of the tax you estimate as due, Form 4868 does not extend the time to pay taxes. If you do not pay the amount due by the regular due date, you will owe interest. You may also be charged penalties.”

The Empty Bottle: Earthquake Relief Donations & Japan Nite

From The Empty Bottle’s website:

To help with relief efforts in Northern Japan following March 11th’s devastating earthquake and ensuing tsunami, the Empty Bottle invites its fans to make a $5 donation to the American Red Cross when buying tickets online. Those who donate will be given a free drink ticket for a domestic draft beer upon entering. We will be donating 10% of our ticket sales to the Red Cross, as well as leaving donation receptacles at the bar encouraging patrons (and staff!) to donate as they see fit.

Japan Nite – now in it’s fourth year at the Empty Bottle brings together a diverse group of Japanese bands to the stage on Western Avenue.

Kicking off in Austin, TX for SXSW, Benton Records’ “Japan Night” US Tour 11 features four of the hottest bands on the planet. Japan Nite started at SXSW 1996 with two Japanese bands and all girl punk band LOLITA NO. 18 was one of them. We’ve been hosting the Tour stops in Chicago since 08 and we’re excited to welcome arguably one of the greatest and most important bands in Japan, MO’SOME TONEBENDER, the all girl soul blues band ZUKUNASHISISTERS and post punk glam rock from HYSTOIC VEIN.

Stop by, make a donation, have a drink or three, and rock out Japan Nite-style!
