The Globe
from "The Globe" a book by Chester Alamo & Costello

Book Signing and Party
June 10th

Chester Alamo & Costello's new book of photographs documenting the Globe Pub, and called "The Globe," will be officially released on May 15th, with a book signing on June 10th -- at the Globe. We would encourage everyone who has never been to visit the Globe pub to go at least once. At 1939 West Irving Park Road (733-871-3757).

The Globe is a photo and art book with essays that document the experience of watching a European style football match in Chicago's own Globe Pub. Since 2005, Alamo & Costello has documented the trials and tribulations of local (and international) supporters engaged in this world sport. The flow of this monograph follows the events of a match through drawings and photographs.

You will get the opportunity to meet Chester at his book signing on June 10th, at 7 PM, which happens to be one day before the first game of the World Cup.

Essays by Jamie Michael Bradley, Sandra Kaminska Costello, Aaron Patrick Flanagan, John Goodwin, Jamie Hale, and Stuart Johnston.

Sound opinions on archtecture, public sculpture. As he says, "All the arts going on around town. Slight emphasis on architecture."
