In The Hole: All Vinyl Set by DJs JACK/SUN
JACK/SUN met at an open decks and started playing records together on a weekly basis. They now host open decks for other selectors through Needle Search.
Jack Oliver is a Midwest-sourced selector with a taste for floor-burners and bargain-bin gems. Deep house, electro, and disco grooves that don’t care what year it is as long as it moves.
Chicago-based Sunman is devoted to soulful and creative wax of any flavor. Muscular disco. Moody house. Detroit machine funk. Sunman looks for the unexpected, overlooked, and undiscovered and brings it to light.

Guest Artist Egor
Egor is the alter ego of DJ Dirty Chancleta who you’ll remember from FunkStick’s Market Days party last August. He is a part of Putas Kolektivo which is a Chicago-based queer POC art collective representing Cragin, Little Village, Ukrainian Village, Back of the Yards, and Pilsen. Egor has been doing graffiti art since 1986, and became Chicago’s first out LGBTQ+ graffiti artist in 1995.
He’ll be selling prints along with ceramic pieces and larger plates which can can be dropped off locally.
Freedom of expression and our community are under increasing attack. It’s so important to support Queer artists. Here’s your chance!

Infused Baked Goods by The Confection Connection
The Confection Connection (aka Shane) is a familiar face at FunkStick who has loved baking since he was an angsty closeted teenager. He started selling cookies and bars in 2011 and began infusing cannabis into his treats soon after. He bakes everything from scratch using simple ingredients (none of that fake shit!) and has some delicious summery treats in the work for FunkStick PRIDE!

Bootblack Pup Finch
Pup Finch (he/it) entered the Chicago leather scene all the way back in 2022, finding puppy play and bootblacking to be the first and strongest places he would call home. Service is what guides its heart and paws, from shining up a virginal pair of boots to rubbing some love into decades old gear.
It loves offering self-care through taking a moment to sit down, talk about bootblack skills, life stories, or have a moment of quiet backed by brushstrokes. He wants to extend the welcome, safety, and comfort he found in the community most especially to the kinksters like himself: trans, disabled, and POC - and what’s more welcoming than a wagging tail?
This dog hops from concrete floors of DIY queer spaces to living room rugs to the stands of Open Shine at IML; really just anywhere that will open space to have a bootblack care for leather, latex, harnesses, hoods, and yes, even crocs. Whenever needed, Pup Finch and his lovely assistant/bootblack kit, Huberd the Horse, are ready to serve.
