Shortly after seeing yesterday that Q101 was doing a pre-screening of Doom, I emailed Andy asking if he could hook us up with tickets. I swear to god, not more than 3 minutes later… he drops off a ton of passes. And today? He comes back with hats and shirts for us all. I’ve said it beefore, I’ll say it…
Every once in a while, whenever one of us decides to take a quick break and needs to step away from the computer… we walk over to the window. As you may know, our window looks out over the Chicago River. But more than that – we can look down on all the people who are coming/going from the Merchandise…
Today for lunch, we decided to go back to Perry’s Deli. I’m telling you – they’ve got some great pastrami sandwiches there. En route, we met up with Ryan (the new Chicago webmaster, taking over for Anthony), who decided to join us for lunch. Back at the office, I snapped a quick photo of Ryan’s sandwich. Take a good look…
Kent’s in town this week, doing some freelance. I met up with him for a drink at Pints. We met up with Justin soon after, and headed over to Silver Cloud for a bit of dinner and conversation. Looks like a busy week of visitors next week. I think Stu is going to be in town, and I heard some…
My good friend Dipti sent me this link today. If you’ve ever wondered what, exactly, was inside the Knoxville Sunsphere… now’s your chance to find out. Simpsons fans… giggle with me as I say Wod Fir.
Maybe two days ago, I submitted my costume from last Halloween to Make. Well, looking over my referrer logs this morning, I saw a ton of traffic from Make. Turns out they put a little blurb about my costume on their blog. Sweet! Now all I have to do is find out who this Felxis person is… All day today,…

As some of you may know, I attended the MFA program at OSU prior to my arriving in Chicago. While there, I was fortunate enough to attend a week-long workshop headed by Billy Collins. At the end of that week, he gave a reading at the Wexner Center. I got his permission to record him and just tonight, I converted…
Attention Chicago folks! I’m sure I’ve already emailed many of you, but this is to let you know that Billy Collins will be giving a reading at the Art Museum on Monday, October 17th. I am a HUGE fan of the man and his work. If you’re not into poetry, I’m telling you… THIS is your poetry reading. I find…
My coworker Jane was talking about this Haunted House during lunch. There’s one room where you’re walking through (in the pitch black), and from the other end a car appears to be crashing through the wall, headed right towards you. Apparently, at this moment, there’s a camera that’s set to take a photo of everyone’s reactions. We tried looking on…

Caught an afternoon flight back home, and zonked out on the couch for the evening. The past few days have been a flurry of activity. I’ve got a mountain of pics to post, which I’ll get to as soon as I can catch my breath. In the meanwhile, I’ve gone back and posted up just one picture for each day….
We ended up calling a cab after everyone cleared out, and waited out front. We spotted a guy with his light on (a rare thing in Columbus, let me tell you) and hopped in his cab. The guy was a bit… strange. He kept talking about having some special wires to make the music better, and asking if we wanted…
After the reading, I ended up ditching out on Matt and Juliet. They were going to have dinner with their families, and part of me felt a little weird going with (and another part of me wanted to run off with my other grad school friends). Since I hadn’t seen so many of them in so long, I hitched with…
