A bit out of the way for me but it was bound to be... I do have a couple of bars I like up that way as I'm sure your friends do.  Keep us posted.

Oberlin is still tentatively on the schedule, depending on, y'know, stuff. You won't actually be there, will you? That would be weird. But funny.

There's maybe a 39% chance we'll be there July 4 weekend. So, like, July 2-5. Let me know...

Hey, is there a Pitchfork thread somewhere or should I just use this? Myself and some folks are gonna be around for the festivities next weekend. We're probably going to be staying with my friend Jerod in the Humboldt park area. Is anyone else going to be in town for thing? Also, are those of you who are in town normally going to be partaking? We could all drink some drinks.

Agenda otherwise mainly consists of:
- biking to Hot Doug's (2-3 times) and eating 2 sausages each time
- see Pavement
- play tug-of-war with Jerod's dog, Scout

jealous!  I don't know why I liked Hot Doug's on Facebook--every Friday I see the specials and get all sad I'm not in Chicago.

also this makes me sad I'm not in Chicago:

woah, that eyeball thing there is pretty weird:

I need more Chicago in my life.

Really though it makes the area look like they handed over civic planning to the surrealists.  Hell yes.

Awesome. I'll have to experience it vicariously (as with all my Chicago exploits of late).

If you want retro neon, you can't go past this one. The video is way longer than it needs to be. The sign is a part of my childhood visits to Melbourne...

Pretty successful day. Went to Hot Dougs and ate these things: Teriyaki and Mandarin Orange Chicken Sausage with Spicy Peanut Sauce, Caraway Havarti Cheese and Toasted Coconut
and
Cherry and Apple Pork Sausage with Sweet Curry Mustard, Cocoa Cardona Cheese and Vodka-Infused Dried Fruit.
Lucy came and had lunch with Paul and me.
We biked all over the place like whoa.
Liars and Broken Social Scene kicked our dicks in.
I fell in love a little bit.
Ate some pizza at Giordinos downtown.
Agenda for tomorrow: do similar stuff.

Hot Dougs is on the list of things I actively miss when I'm not in Chicago.

Also on that list: Big Star, The Violet Hour, Hopleaf, Quenchers, and The Falcon Inn.

I will say, however, that the VH isn't quite as staggering now that Rubel spends most nights working Big Star and Mike Ryan has departed for Sable.

I've haven't hit Sable yet.  This is an oversight.

Dear Chicago,
Thanks for all the Hot Doug's, bicycling, and babes. It was a solid weekend.

Me!! Oh, wait...sorry...

Actually if Rob is in town I bet he'll be there (though I suspect he's on the road somewhere)...

I hope you have a ball!
