Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

I have been saying forever that Obama should do Fireside Chats a la FDR and apparently he listened to me.

I hear Obama is going to appoint you as Chief Technology Officer.

He'll be all like, "Jesse, I need a report on the infrastructure needed to extend government-run WiFi networks into all metro areas over 100,000 people." And you can be like, "Google it."

And then he'll be like, "Dude, that's your answer for everything," and then give you noogies.

Oooh and I must remember to advise him as to the potential benefits of changing his last name to O'Bama.

hey dudes, btw i called ally and left her message to try and figure out when to set up FAP/hang-out sesh (lol) for this weekend but haven't heard back. is anything going on tuna ite? LET'S HAVE A HANG-OUT SESH TUNA ITE!

nick if you end up hanging out with ally sunday, i would like to come! actually i could make something tonight if it was late-ish.

I should think about seeing you people again someday.

I'm going to a wedding reception 2nite (C0lin of C4n4st4 fame).

guys the fire lost to columbus :(

there's always next year (/cubs)

It will be (/cubs) when The Fire sucks for 100 years straight.

I should think about seeing you people again someday.

Hey, good idea!

How long has the Fire been around?

Was it always burning? Since the World's been turning?

The Chicago Fire is a professional soccer club based in the Chicago suburb of Bridgeview, Illinois, USA. It participates in Major League Soccer. The team was founded October 8, 1997 on the 126th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. In 1998, their first season in the league, the Fire won the MLS Cup as well as the U.S. Open Cup (the "double"). They have also won the 2000, 2003, and 2006 U.S. Open Cup.

~90 yrs to go

Hey. So tonight we did a run-through of these short plays I'm involved with, and they have turned out really well. I never, never bring people to see something I couldn't actually get behind or think is worth seeing, so I'm saying that these are good. Free preview tomorrow night (Sat.) if you want a risk-free night on the town. $10 tix for Sunday if ordered through here. And that's that.

Jeff and I are going next Saturday! I'm excited.

so is there a hang-out sesh tonight?

Tuna is not mandatory.

hey we saw ez's play (and the 11 others last night) -- recommended! i'm not going to say that there weren't a few stinkers,
but they were outnumbered by the ones we liked.
so glad we went.

ally is at the fifty-50 bar watching football now if anyone wants to go meet her

I want to meet her, but not enough to go struttin' in without a backup friend to talk to. I don't think I even know all the basic rules of football.

Who's up for a low-impact coupla beers at Simon's? North-siders, lookin' at you.

(But of course I'll go anywhere, just throwing that out there.)

Very strange.

if you squint she looks sort of like drew barrymore

Someone who graduated from K@l@m@z00 C0ll3ge in 2007 (i.e., I don't know her at all) just e-mailed me to see if I knew about any job openings in Chicago. She says:

"My main focus for this recent job search has been on administrative assistant/receptionist positions, but I am more than willing to work in any industry/sector (nonprofit, retail, customer service, editing/writing, childcare... name it)."

If anyone knows about anything, let me know. I like to be helpful.

yeah but pass it to me first lol
