Is it about Nick's prom night?

No but it relates to the Beaver Trilogy. I'm actually the THIRD part.

I have seen it in a thee-ate-er
Me too!

Anyway, not to be a PEDANT, but doesn't Agathon from BSG spell his first name with a K?
yes but i like carl agatha more than karl agatha, so i think Jenny should keep it

ALSO CAN I BE A SHILL FOR A SECOND and encourage you all to attend the (erotic) FICTION CONTEST held by Jenny-Carl's health organization at which:
Hey, am I actually reading in this thing? I said I would but I don't remember if I got confirmation. Sadly I'm pretty sure that whatever I read will definitely not touch last year's selection.

Jesse--this will be a great warm-up for your one-man show!

Are you guys writing this stuff, or is it like smut karaoke?
― ‘Neuroscience’ and ‘near death’ pepper (Eazy), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
xpost he does, but carl agatha spells it with a c.
Jesse, it will prob be like last year and you'll just have to show up and volunteer.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
I am not writing anything. I only WISH I had written what I read last year. It's really a shame the video didn't turn out b/c that was one of my top 10 shining moments in life. SEMI-EDIBLE SLURRY (paraphrased?)
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:13 (twelve years ago) link
I wrote mine, but it is high concept and involves images and a projector.
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:26 (twelve years ago) link
Oh! Wow.

Is accidentally-racist-jokes karaoke in that Top 10?
― ‘Neuroscience’ and ‘near death’ pepper (Eazy), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 17:30 (twelve years ago) link
Definitely.

have any of you guys been to native foods? it's a vegan restaurant chain and there's one in the loop on south clark. i'm intrigued, might check it out next time i have $$$ to eat out: http://nativefoods.com/
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
I haven't been, but a non-veg friend was talking up the one in Wicker Park. Sounded promising.
― long duk dan (dan m), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:33 (twelve years ago) link
if i were in WP i'd probably eat somewhere else but for the loop it's exciting.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
i just mean there are lots of interesting places with veggie options in WP, not so much downtown
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
i go to the loop 2-3x a year
― Laura Lucy Lynn (La Lechera), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
maybe a few times more
i remember when i only went to the loop 2-3 times a year. i was so young then. so naive.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
Let's line up by how many times you've been to the loop.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks to school I pretty much live there.
― tanuki, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks to work I pretty much work there.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link
I've probably only ever been to the loop like a couple dozen times.
However, I have a workshop at the Harold Washington Library next Friday and I'm really excited! I will be able to ride the el to work and everything.

i used to work on jackson but that was nearly 6 years ago
SIX YEARS AGO ffs

my life: where is it going, where has it been
i literally lived in the loop, at the center of the coordinate system, when i lived in the dorms my first year of college
― 1staethyr, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
Those art institute kids that are in the dorm beside my work smoke a lot of cigarettes.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
Columbia students smoke a lot of cigarettes. Actually, people in the South Loop in general smoke a lot of cigarettes.
― Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:52 (twelve years ago) link
I kind of wish I smoked a lot of cigarettes.
― the glass of beer (askance johnson), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
i was always bugged out that culinary students at CHIC (when i worked next door to CHIC) smoked so much - like don't you need those taste buds, dudes?
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
also did you know cigarettes cost like $8 a pack? i don't understand how anyone affords a serious smoking habit.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
I feel like all cooks/chefs smoke? Maybe I just get that from anthony bourdain.

i smoked a lot of cigarettes outside of my saic dorm. i was in the one by carson pirie-scott, though, not the fancy newer one across from the chicago theater. (xp i have no idea which one you work by)
― 1staethyr, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:58 (twelve years ago) link
when I started smoking circa 1992, cigarettes where $2.50 a pack. A GOLDEN AGE>
― the glass of beer (askance johnson), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 18:59 (twelve years ago) link
I worked on Jackson 6+ yrs ago! Technically I've only ever worked in THE LOOP for about a year, cumulatively.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
who r u 1staethyr?
the only time i smoked was when i lived in india and you could buy half-packs or even single cigarettes from the tobacco dudes
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:01 (twelve years ago) link
I smoked a lot when I was a line cook
well, not while working
― long duk dan (dan m), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:02 (twelve years ago) link
Pretty OTM.
And I smoked a cigarette w/ the wine director at B!n 36. My former co-worker who used to work at B!n said that despite being a heavy smoker, but she had an incredible nose on her.
― garbage corn fan (Je55e), Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:03 (twelve years ago) link
when i started smoking cigarettes were $3 a pack, but that was also in texas (where cigarettes are still pretty cheap)
xp i'm just a semi-lurker who live in chicago. i mostly read politics threads i guess, posted some on OWS thread

Hey, related to culinary students, I had dinner last week at the dining room at Kendall College. They have a weeknight prix-fixe 3-course dinner--it's like a restaurant, except the servers and everyone else is in class and being observed. Very good food, nice view of downtown.

Hi there! Xp
DUDES I worked on Jackson six years ago! Catty corner from Amanda, even.
Also: when I started smoking, I could afford a pack of cigarettes and a tank of gas w/ my $10/week school year allowance.

I just had a fancy lawyer lunch at Epic ending with maybe the best bread pudding I have ever eaten.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:41 (twelve years ago) link
Not Epic Burger.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
No. Epic, on Hubbard next to the terribly named Slurping Turtle.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:43 (twelve years ago) link
that is a DISGUSTING name for an establishment
