Have not been to Space, I hear it's a great place for live music. Evanston is a college town of sorts, places to stay are plentiful. I would try Airbnb, you might find something cool. A couple good places to eat are La Macchina Cafe on Orington, the owner Marco is an Italian who loves motorcycles, his place is decorated with Italian shop signs and a couple bikes. Make sure you tell him the Guzzi Doctor sent you. Also, Lupita's on Main, probably the best continental Mexican restaurant in the Chicago area! That's all I got.
