This week, Features contributor Sophia Ramirez speaks with K.O. Weakley aka TYGKO and Cam Stacey, co-owners and co-founders of DIY music venue, Bookclub in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. They discuss their DIY roots and the journey to go legit, the built in community-based ethos in the former Elbo Room space, and K.O.'s music project, TYGKO.

"I also love that we are talking about it as an evolution because I do literally refer to OG Bookclub as Charmander and legit Bookclub as Charmeleon for the Pokemon fans. What's the Charizard version? You'll have to wait and see."  - Cam Stacey
