It's eating me up.
It's probably good news.

Argh. Some of you can probably guess the news. It involves my employment and some really stupid fucking shit that some idiots are doing that is stupid but that will probably lead to improvements in my life.
Sorry, vaguely talking about drama is annoying.

Huh, I have never heard of coworking spaces. Cool idea.

They're going quickly in Chicago with the tech boom. Jaymc, our pal N3ll is looking into developing one.

Yah Eazy just mentioned this but the new location of the Chicago Underground Library will likely be a coworking space.
IPhone wants "coworking" to be "cowering."

Speaking of community spaces, I love the (stupidly named) YOUmedia space in the HWLC. A public space for kids (I can't say "teens" with a straight face though I acknowledge "kids" is not quite right) to be creative and have access to all kinds of tech is just OTM.

hey hoos FYI there is a new poetry slam tour in chicago
― it was pleasant and delightful, just like (La Lechera), Wednesday, 3 August 2011 19:11 (fourteen years ago)
When I was in high school our book covers had this DARE/Up with People sponsored message in the front flap that was a list of things REAL TEENS avoided like drugs and drinking and gossip and smoking and being mean little shits and promiscuous sex and it was so tone deaf and condescending that I can't take the word "teens" seriously to this day.
xp youmediachicago.org! It's groovy and there are always a good sized group of school-aged young adults in there when I am at la biblioteca.
― ilx poster and keen dairy observer (Jenny), Wednesday, 3 August 2011 19:13 (fourteen years ago)
What do you mean by 'tour'? xp
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 3 August 2011 19:30 (fourteen years ago)
i mean that there is a guided tour of various...noteworthy?...historical? poetry slam locations, for people who are poetry slam tourists, i guess? maybe it was a one off thing.

thats fuckin cool
A friend/colleague of my dad's is a big-time poetry-slam acolyte who apparently treks up from Hyde Park to Uptown every Sunday for the Marc Smith-hosted slam at the Green Mill. I've actually never been, though I did attend the national poetry slam when it was in Chicago about ten years ago.
Also HOOS, this is a cool monthly event put on by slam folks.
