Pre-festival activities are in the rear-view mirror as the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival gets into gear today with things really revving up tomorrow at 10 a.m. with the Downtown Cruise-In.

Our latest issue is hitting our vendors with Chicago-area musician Ike Reilly on the cover ahead of his stop at Cinema Center for a screening of "Don't Turn Your Back on Friday Night," a documentary on his life as an underground favorite.

“Objectively, it’s not a conventional rock n’ roll documentary,” Reilly told Whatzup. “I think (co-directors Mike Schmiedeler and Mike O'Brien) made it a little bit more profound about alcoholism and religion and being broke."

Following the screening of the film on Thursday, Aug. 22, Reilly and Schmiedeler will discuss the film and Reilly will perform a set.

Ike Reilly and filmmakers will hit the road to show it to audiences, including Thursday, Aug. 22, at Cinema Center.
