More than a week ago, when I was at the Pontiac with Chris and Will… Will and I discovered we were both interested in chess. More than that, we discovered that we both knew about the Wicker Park Chess Club, which meets on Wednesdays at Myopic Books. The two of us made plans to attend …
Hung out with Justin at the Pontiac, after work today. Both of us had a rather productive day, and we ended up chatting through a few drinks, watching the sun dip down below the skyline. There’s a party in the works for this weekend, if our plans hold up. Should be a fun one. :) …
