Chicago: They paved a fetid swamp/and put up a parking lot

Going through my Facebook profile, and noticing that half of the "personal info" that I had entered has been wiped out. Where are my favorite quotations? I transcribed those from books, damnit. I don't want to do all that again.

IIRC, they deleted everything that couldn't be synced up to a fan page. I thought that was kind of bullshit, so I deleted most of my favorites.

I've decided since it's Friday I'm going to treat myself to a Z&H sandwich.

Glad you enjoyed your tacos, J... I was at a meeting late and picked up a few of my own from a late-night place farther up Milwaukee. They were not as good as Moran's.

Btw, Sarah, you should just e-mail the Hood Internet to get those lyrics:

thehoodinternet(at)gmail(dot)com.

the door guy was a dos amigos man, but he's also vegetarian. if i was in the neighborhood i would definitely be eating veggie tortas for dinner often.

Re: the DMB Caravan, it's actually really interesting, they're putting it on on a massive former U.S. Steel site, which until recently was a post-industrial wasteland. They also have crazy future plans for the area, like housing Obama's presidential library and eventually looking like this:

too much white, tbh (also a complaint to likely be leveled at the DMB Caravan itself)

I totally emailed them. I wonder who the client is that wants these lyrics. Maybe SXSW?

Isn't H00d Int34fnewt a mash-up act?

lol @ internewt

I really hope they do something with all that wasteland. It is high time!

it certainly will be high time with that concert lineup lol

Rain check is a weird term.

Oh, I don't wish I were in Dixie, hurray! hurray! I don't wish I were in Dixieland, oh way down south in Dixie.

Huh. I just learned from wiki that the song is about a freed black slave pining for the plantation where he was born back in the South.

wait DMB is still in Chicago? do I need to worry about getting shitted on?

saw tons of dmb douches on the train today

see you tonight at the show dan dan peed in a pan!!

wait DMB is still in Chicago? do I need to worry about getting shitted on?

Yes, regardless of DMB's presence.

Just kidding! Unless you meet up with Kenan.

Just kidding again! As far as you know!

Did nobody dick check that infographic? I am going to quit my job and be a freelance infographic dick checker. My business cards are going to be awesome. And dick shaped.

Going to call my business Cockblockerz.

There should also be an arrow pointing down.

The sun has been working hard.

I'm so glad the thread ends with me talking about that pic so much.

"stroke likely"

"prolonged exposure"

Sarah, Jesse Helms once sang "Dixie" while in an elevator with Carol Mosely-Braun after saying that he was going to do so until she cried.

Wow. Brutal.

I met Peter Sagel at a 5k today. He beat me.

I totally blanked on who he was when he said he was on wait wait don't tell me.

I don't feel well. I hung a window box from the balconette railing and I got so hot and overexerted from squatting that I was afraid I was going to pass out. So barfy, you guys.

Misread that as hung like a window box.

That DMB south-side site should go full-on Dubai.

Yes. Maybe that's what Daley had in mind when he razed Miegs Field.

Or the Olympic village.

I think I just invited a bunch of you to google plus.

Ooh-gle

Archers of Loaf were great. I never listened to them before, which is sort of crime if you're from NC.

Dan, on Friday did the bassist do a lot of talking and tell jokes?

I told Courtney that he was MacGyver on top and The Incredible Hulk on the bottom b/c he had MacGyver hair and ripped up pants/almost-cut-offs.

He told a joke about how he was going down on an 80-something year old woman. While he was eating her out he heard that some woman died of an allergic reaction to dog semen and he stopped, looked up at her and said "Is that how you died, Nana??"

And @m@nda, too.

yeah he talked quite a bit, it was funny

I've never really heard AoL.

Today's You Swoop is for tattoos. I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Hey Jesse thanks for the A/C, it totally whips our old one's ass with a belt.

Good! It's probably more energy efficient too.

we went to the ultraviolet petting zoo, which wasn't really what i was expecting - there was a stage with bands off to the side but mostly it was the same scary shoddy carnival rides they have at other festivals. anyways i saw st3ve alb1ni ride the power shot (the thing where you're strapped in and it sloooooowly rises and then SUDDENLY plummets).

What is the ultraviolet petting zoo? It's easy to misread that as "ultraviolent."

I Googled it. Not at all what I thought it would be.

Anyway, I came here to post this picture of my new building as it appears in a book published in 1917. I live at the top on the long side.
