The brand spankin' new profile pic. is from this summer at Rivinia Park north of Chicago. It hosts lots of great outdoor shows - from rock to jazz to classical. My wife snapped it as we were waiting for the Metra train back to Chicago. The ride back was pure hell - lots of drunken frat boys. It's interesting that I feel less safe in...

When will the fucking snow stop?! Dispite this, Chicago still rules.
Our Minneapolis visitors left today after a weekend of fun and follies. It is getting really fucking cold out. My wife is addicted to the machine hot chocolate from 7 Eleven.
Snow in Chicago today. 'Tis the season for the tourists to arrive in full force. I think I'll lurk outside the American Girl store and pick up chicks.

I believe one of the Esthero members is from Minneapolis - my old hometown.
Actually, the indigoboy moniker was only because the name indigo (which I've always gone by) was taken.
Do you shop at American Girl at all?

no. never even heard of it.
What hipsters decided Pabst Blue Ribbon in a can was cool? I'd like to have a word with them. PBR is the most disgusting beer - always was, always will be. Don't get me wrong, I can understand how the red white and blue colors along with the "working class" reputation carry a certain cachet. It still doesn't change the fact that the beer itself...

The state of Michigan offers a 10 cent refund for each aluminum can redeemed. Who's with me?

Yes. I know Chanky from Minneapolis. He was actually in Chicago a few months ago for his first art exhibition here. He is a super swell guy and quite talented.

Oh yeah, I used to be a hockey goalie too.
Chicago - she is a wierd fucking city.
Outside my window I hear the clip-clop of horse's hooves mixed with gun shots. Police sirens syncopated with boat horns. Rattling steel from cars passing on the nearby bridge overlap the yells of a girl who's had too much gin. The approaching train shoots sound through the air as it pumps through the veins of the Chicago....

lap dances to cancer patients? you'll fit right in around here. 
direactions are in the mail!
direactions are in the mail!The city is alive today. Everywhere I went, people were out. You could feel the pulse. Days like this make me happy. It's Saturday so not a bike messenger in sight.
The only thing worse than Republicans are bike messengers. Don't get me started on bike messengers. Talullah and I attempted to watch "Monsters Ball" tonight. We made it through about 45 minutes before ejecting that piece of crap. I can't decide which I hate worse - bike messengers or "Monsters Ball".
Blah.
Blah.
When I lived in Minneapolis, I worked at a record store. Once I met this older woman. She was a kind old German lady. We struck up a conversation and I explained to her that I had thought of doing more traveling. She replied, "Don't think, just do." Those words have stuck with me for a few years. Now we're in Chicago and I own...
