August 2008


Came to visit! Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet their son this time around.

The D&W of Hyde Park. Like Whole Foods without the rats.

Underneath the Fullerton exit. When in doubt, use pencil.

Brunch in Lincoln Park

Work outing at US Cellular Field. The weather was beautiful; it was a perfect way to end the summer. Ken G Jr. hit his first homer with Chicago, and Maggie beat the odds (15 in 33,000) to win a signed jersey. Socks beat the Mariners 15-3.

Mike and I snuck into the HOB on Dearborn this weekend because he wanted to see the venue and stage upstairs. We caught the end of a Tokio Hotel show, which is a terrible pop-emo band from Germany. Needless to say, we were the only ones at the bar, surrounded by what looked to be a sold-out crowd of screaming teenage girls.

EDIT:
YouTube is already flooded with videos from the show. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

With Flo (!?)

Leftist(?) coffee shop in Hyde Park.

Last weekend at the beautiful Portage Theater on Milwaukee. Ricou Browning (the man who played the creature in the underwater scenes) was there as a special guest. I’m going back to the theater tomorrow for Terror in the Aisles, their horror movie marathon.

In the stacks!
