Came across this fun little site late in the day, and lost some time exploring all the various areas on the (seemingly) neverending page. Built by Poke London. [via]. Sidenote: This site reminds me very much of an old, old Flash piece called Safeplaces. All you Flash folks who were around in 2000 know what…
I’ve been looking into getting a new TV for a while now, and tonight I decided to pull the trigger. After work, Liz and I went to go pick up a Sony Bravia (the 40″ KDL-40V3000). In talking with Dan, Liz’s brother in law, I got a good overview of the things I should be…
With twilight happening earlier due to Daylight Savings, it’s dark by the time I arrive home at the California Blue Line stop. As I was making my way to the stairs, the lighting of the platform across the tracks caught my eye.
Justin’s been busy processing his photos, and today he finally got through all his shots from his west coast road trip. I’ve been privy to a lot of his photos (he’s quite the shutterbug, and really quite good with the camera) – but up until now, I don’t think he’s had a way to showcase…
NY Girl of My Dreams. Man I hope this is genuine, and isn’t some cheap ploy for a movie or TV show. Despite the snarky responses I’ve seen about this, it still strikes me as a bit romantic. This definitely reminds me of the time I came across several found notes from Janeen to Jason….
I got an email from my friend Dipti last week, and prior to her flight out of Chicago… we all met up for dinner at Lula Cafe in Logan Square. This is a shot of Dipti and Liz, talking a bit over a late lunch. It’s been a long, long while since I’ve seen Dipti…
Today, Liz and I remembered that we had a scooter stranded way out on Western. Worried that it might be accruing tickets ever since we left it tied to a street sign, we decided to venture out and walk it back. We asked Justin to give us a lift out, and Liz and I took…
Entryway, Logan Square Auditorium. And it’s a Sold Out show! Inside, waiting in line… I spotted this totally bullshit legal posting from Pitchfork. I recognize that there are some steps they need to take to legally “film” in a public place and all… but my god, how about something just a little friendlier? I mean…
Tonight, a bunch of folks were going to be in town for a variety of reasons. Stu was in from Portland, doing work for Third Coast. Alex was going to be in town to meet up with some folks at Intelligentsia (he ended up meeting Matt, which delights me to no end; something about two…
Justin’s been back in Chicago for a bit, crashing over at our apartment. Tonight he borrowed Liz’s scooter, and we got a call saying that it broke down somewhere near Western and Irving Park. At the time, Liz and I were at Target… so we hopped in the car, and found him at a nearby…
