Is it too early for space shuttle jokes yet?
Cuz I was just thinkin'
How could no one see this coming?
That shuttle was so old. I mean it still had an 8 track player for crying out loud.
Check out this!

The 'Chicago' announcement was always my second favorite, just because of the redundancy. And, of course, it is second after 'Grand' when northbound.

Saw you in your store yesterday. You were on your way out, so I didn't say anything. Finally got around to getting Tom Waits 'Alice' on LP.

I would say that for the mass populace it is too early, but this is SG. What have you come up with?

Happy birthday Mrs. Indigoboy!
Hey, I didn't realize you lived in Mpls. I was there for about a year before I came down here. Nice place, but I like Chicago better. I do miss all the geese though!

Already done--though I used the on-line check thing. I am now completely addicted to this site and couldn't possibly do without it. Ya boobies! Yay journals! Yay messageboards!

Hitting Sam's Wine sometime this week. Was it Hendrick's Gin you recommended?

The Beth Gibbons LP has been my best find this year, so far...
reitoei:
Cool... So long as there will be others lacking the mysterious VIP tix, I'll prolly still be there.

Busy, busy, busy!
Too much coffee and not enough sleep.
Our battle against the city continues.
Fight the power.

Never enough coffee.
Never enough sleep.

All I can say is Wow! Does SGChicago know how to represent or what!?
It was great to meet all who attended. I'm sorry I didn't get to socialize with more of you. It's sometimes difficult to break out of my shell. Everyone was cool and I can't wait to do it again!
Rock the casbah indeed.

It was nice getting to meet u 2! I know what you mean about it being hard to socialize w/ everyone you just met... I was kind of clinging to the people I already knew.. (ok, person I already knew) and now wish that I had tried harder to talk to everyone (including you.) Damn social anxiety. Anyway- i'm sure there will be future events where the mingling will continue. Thnx for coming!

SGChicago is truly a force to be reckoned with. I pity those foolish enough to oppose us.

A three part documentary about Chicago aired last night on PBS. I have a better understanding of why the city is the way it is now. This city was (literally) built on greed, corruption and exclusion - rather than inclusion.
Yet, I still love it. I'm a firm believer in the phrase, "Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Plus, I have a naive belief...

As a librarian, I actually get really tired of anything literary. The yuppies I serve try to get too intellectual, forcing me to keep up. There's nothing wrong with a nice coffee table book now and then. Brains need to rest.

people often say this is the most segregated city in the world....hmmm.....

I picked a bad time to forget to pay my porn bill. Spooky was on vacation. Actually, I just changed payment methods so some wierdness had to be fixed. You guys didn't have any wild parties when I was gone did you?

They swore to me there were no copies of that tape! Arggh, my career in politics will be ruined! And I'm still trying to get those pudding stains out of my tu-tu.

I had to go to someone's birthday party on Rush/Division and the cab driver totally stereotyped me! He said "oh, rush and division? party girl, eh? ever done one of those girls gone wild videos?"

And yes, yes I have.

okay, not really. welcome back indigoboy.

New Years Eve is for amateurs. I saw the Violent Femmes were playing at a New Years celebration in Chicago. They've become a novelty act!? All of these 30-somethings were "woo-hooing" for them.
That must be the most horrible feeling in the world. You were once a very popular band. You had hit singles and MTV airplay. Now you're being asked to play a silly...

A strikethrough means payment on an account has lapsed...it's not a bug.

There are two kinds of people in this world:
Shower people and bath people.
Coffee people and tea people.
Chicago people and not-Chicago people.
(thanks to doughty for the last example)

I would hope that things are resolved. Im sorry that I overreacted to your comment. I felt judged. Im sure I was wrong. In fact I was at a local dive bar last night. There normally is pretty good music on there. Someone played an entire Limp Biscuit C.d. I found myself actually look around the room for you or one of your henchmen,watching to see if I was singing along. I had my friend (the bouncer) reset the jukebox so I didnt have to worry. (haha)
I am however a coffee and tea person.
Ive yet to own a bathtub that I fit in(although I would like one)
I only dream of going to Chicago one day. Of course it will probably be on a tour.
Thanks for reaching out............smile
