Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

OK I am not sure but there was a post on CL recently saying that some dude named Ross was suspected of selling stolen bikes.

Because I have a taste for drama, I responded.

Why would I take up my time and yours to go see a bike that is I know from the measurements you told me is not suited to my height? I know from experience that I need a 18-19" bike.

But I do have a question for you--why don't you write an accurate ad and not turn into a fuming jerk at the drop of a hat? "GEEZ" indeed!

OMG you're right! it's that same guy!!!

uh. xpost

Aw, you should have asked him for the serial number!

hee hee hee I just emailed the dude about the same bike

Apparently a local bar that I've previously written off as lame serves this:

It seems like a great idea, although smores + drinking seems like not such a good idea.

And that local bar is Cosi?

no

I have never been to one of those, but I guess they do the smores thing too?

Some of them do. The ones that also serve liquor, I think.

I am going to see Eastern Promises tonight!

guys, apparently delilah's is celegrating it's 5000th straight day of being open tonight?

cele....grating?

I think an annoying party is a celegration.

delilah's is out of my price range. i may be in uptown tonight if anyone is near the red line. or the ashland bus. or the irving park bus, or the clark bus, or the sheridan bus...

i don't think i've even been to delilah's.

tonight: STNNNG v. Melvins v. staying at home like a responsible adult

delilah's = awesome punk rock bar and maybe the best selection of bourbon in the city.

/captain stats

that's because we have a large number of regular posters without jobs. and those with gainful employment aren't really fanatics about it.

FUNEMPLOYMENT AMIRITE

hey, rw, i'm heading up to the holiday club in a bit if you're up for drinks. corner of irving park and sheridan, across the street from the sheridan red line stop if you're up for it. i'll be in the back bar from 10 til... i'll buy you a beam and i've got two packs of cigarettes.

Eastern Promises is good, if you like Russian accents and Viggo Mortensen's balls.

oh shit spoiler!

I am 28. DEAL WITH IT.

Slightly less bummed today.

old people are gross.

kev: probably won't make it, but thanks for the heads-up

i was on the clark street bus, but now i'm home.

Oh man. The Office. Great. They managed to cram all the funny in 1 hour without all the stupid serious relationship stuff.

it was teh funn, lots and lots of free shots because not many people showed up. hurting.

my friends were just at $1 beer night at the two way!! I had no idea there was a $1 beer night there. he's drunkenly IMing me about these 'awesome girls' he met

:-/

goddamn it, didn't i post that helen's two way had $1.00 mondays and thursdays??

anyway, i'm gonna pass out now.

anyway if any of u chicago ppl are going to dannys tomorrow i might be there

now i must crash as well

We are having band practice tonight but would anyone want to do anything after? Maybe go to Danny's?

The Office was so great last night. I think my favorite parts were the visual gags - Angela body checking Dwight into the copier and Andy walking out of the bathroom after preparing for the nipple chafing.

I want to go to Danny's! I've only been once and that was a while ago.

I enjoyed the Office but thought it seemed a little off from the last couple of seasons. All the characters seemed ... dumber? But I still laughed.

"This is the face of rabies."

Yeah, it was pretty great.

And Pam and Jim were always cute, but holding hands? Dangerous levels of cute.

I think my favorite was Michael's long drawn-out description of the various animal gods they might have to make sacrifices to. Such a weird scene.

"The head of a monkey ... but with ... the antlers of a reindeer ... and the body of ... the body of ... a porcupine."

Also: nipple-chafing jokes.

Free coffee at Alliance, Letizia's and other coffee shops today: http://chicagoist.com/2007/09/28/new_tv_season_f.php

Also, the MCA is doing a ton of free shit over the next 40 days for their 40th anniversary. Sarah and I might go tomorrow to actually check out the art, but also Oct. 7 is a free concert with Flosstradamus, Cool Kids, Califone, Poster Children, the 1900s, the Eternals, and Headache City.

I had no idea the Poster Children were still performing.

aw, I missed The Office. I went to see a play at the Goodman written by a woman who was at my college at the same time I was. she's written like eleventy well-received plays. WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE??
