Chicago Events Sources?

What are some good newsletters/websites for Chicago arts/food/party type events?
Recently saw Nonsense NYC and the Skint referenced in response to another question. Looking for things along these lines for Chicago events. Am familiar with and appreciative of the Reader, but am looking for other sources for cool Chicago events.

Not exactly a website, but the explorechicago twitter thing is pretty great!

Best answer: Flavorpill for the highbrow; visiting artists, movie showings, etc. This sounds just about perfect for you. I hear about a lot of artsy things through Flavorpill I otherwise wouldn't know about; M.C. Schmidt giving a free performance at UIC, Jeffery Brown reading at Quimby's, etc.
Timeout Chicago for a mix of trashy bar specials and actual legit events; they have pretty good GLBT listings, though.
Broke Hipster for "two dollar hot dogs with purchase of shitty beer!" type stuff.
Oh My Rockness for recently announced concerts (similar to Chicago Reader's Early Warnings) and the best shows of the week. Honestly, Jambase has more comprehensive listings, but the weekly email newsletter is nice anyway.
My Open Bar for snarky commentary, hipster bashing, and free/cheap dranks.
