Spring lagged like a slow download, but it’s finally booted up — and Chicago’s running hot.
This weekend, Fly Nerd Group hit the city on a vinyl hunt for Record Store Day, spinning through dusty crates and sonic treasures. Then we dipped over to C2E2, where comics, anime dreams, cosplay flexes, and toy hustles painted the scene crazy.
We vibed with Peter Weller as he broke down the soul and sorrow of ROBOCOP, and stood in the presence of comic book royalty, the legendary Denys Cowan.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
