Chicago MMXII

You can transfer from the Red to the Green at State/Lake.

And Roosevelt.

you can, but who wants to do that? adding an extra leg to someone's journey sucks.

i can expect to see all of your faces tonight? yes?

If we miss another flight, them yes.

dunno if our crew will be there, seems unlikely

Oh hi dere

If I come, it will be just to stop by. I know I suggested the bar, but I have a busy week and some errands to run tonight.

come on guys!
live a little! it's summer. <-- peer pressure

a modest stop-by, please consider it
don't leave me hangin

I'm in. And I'm peer pressuring, too!

I guess I've been partying 20 hours a day for a week so if Chicago ilxors want to take it slow it's cool

It doesn't have to be a big blow out, just humans talking irl.

If I was there, there would be salt. Bath.

I'm gonna have a blow-out. Everywhere I go is a blow-out.

Hey, visibly annoyed runner that kept telling people to get out of your way, you know where might be a good place to run where you won't have to deal with that? Pretty much anywhere besides the fucking Loop during a weekday lunch hour. Idiot. Why anyone would choose to run through the Loop on a day like today when the gorgeous lakefront path is so close is beyond me.

lil' hip check'll take care of uppity runners in congested spaces

That was really tempting. I mean, maybe he was on his way to a more conducive running space, but man, unless you've never ever been in a big city in your life you should know what to expect.

lol I think I saw that guy!

Great to meet you, mh. Sorry I couldn't stay longer.

No problem! I understand the basic need of laundry and LL and Je55e were excellent hosts.

I felt better about being abandoned for laundry when I learned that you guys had to drive to the laundromat.

in sum: mh is buena gente, I slept until JUST NOW, got some almond croissants in the oven, sup.

Yeah, we went to Bubbleland, at Elston/Grace. I'm not sure if there's a closer laundromat that's open late.

Looks like there'll be no further extension of Iceman Cometh into July (they have a musical about church hats to replace it). So I'll have to settle for Neofuturists, White Sox etc. (unless this Three Sisters coming @ S'wolf gets great reviews)

every time we pass bubbleland we sing its name to the tune of "Barbara Ann".

The Human Centipede 2 is not very good.

I wish that was not the case :/

Haha.

Hello, noodle. It's like you were summoned by the centipede signal.

It's about a million times better than One for the Money.

Where and why did you see that?

Katherine Heigl should definitely be a segment.

Tonight. In Delaware.

Why? I'm not sure.

Because the other choice was the Straw Dogs remake and I chose bad "comedy" over bad rape scene.

Katherine Heigl should definitely be a segment.

^^^ many LOLs

Hey in case anybody was wondering, the answer to the question, "How many episodes of House Hunters can you watch in one day and remain emotionally stable" is "About 11."

As if there are only a few theaters in Chicago doing work worth seeing!

I saw One for the Money. It was as bad as I expected.

We've had summer hours for three weeks now, but I'll finally be able to take advantage of them and leave early today!

As if there are only a few theaters in Chicago doing work worth seeing!

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply such, just eliminating the 'big' stuff. Feel free to recommend.

are you guys ready for RIBFEST?

I wonder if the ribs are actually any good at RIBFEST? My one visit to Taste of Chicago made me skeptical of food-based festivals.

Jeff brought home ribs from ribfest last year and they were really good.

all i know is that it fucks up parking by our house

the street is overflowing with greasy rib bones i bet

Ribfest makes my vegan FB friend who lives nearby very vocally self-righteous. He has suggested that the dummies at Ribfest should try a saladfest instead. Looking forward to this year's rants.

Yes, our ribfest ribs were good.

Every day is saladfest.

last year (?) the vegetarian cafe down the street from us had a booth at ribfest with vegan ribs. don't think they're doing it this year though.

testing out a tweet with you guys: "when you've had a rib surgically removed so you can give yourself a blowjob, EVERY day is ribfest!"

(i'm not actually going to tweet that)
