"That Was Awful." "What Are You Looking At Me For? You Said It." "I know. It's Still Awful."

The festivities continue. In fact, I might have to help others in finding festivies. A lot of people have been sending me e-mails acknowledging their lameness and wanting help. So, I think I am going to start a "What To Do In Muskegon" website. It will have parties, bars, concerts, shows, and other events. So, start sending all public welcome events to me and I will see what I can do...

This is GH pier right before it rained.

Hasan and I planned a huge party last night. Look at all the people. People refused the invitation by phone, so we ended up going out because people cannot refuse by force. The Beast From the Middle East knows that all too well...

Ahhh... Friends Forever...

Here are our recruits for Hasan's party just as everyone was to head home. Notice the guilty looks and body postures on everyone. By the time 5:30 am rolled around, I think everyone had something to regret...

Not sure what I am doing today. Andrea's birthday is at midnight and she becomes legal. I don't want to be out too late since I have to work tomorrow morning and have to catch up on some sleep. Especially since Monday is going to be my Day of Wreckoning...

Booze Cruise.

OFFICIAL BUSINESS: Monday Night Klub - Chicago Chapter restarts September 11th, 2006. We are looking for a good place with cheap food and drinks. Have any ideas? If not, we'll go to Clio's near Western Ave. on Chicago Ave. Hope to see you there!

Laia

Handsome Roberto.

Dance party!

Miss Megan!

This girl knew how to dance.

Vincent and Megan

Man girl, you dance like a crazy woman! Yeow!

Megan

Kineta flashing gang signs. She's thug

Pam. Sorry Pam! I was sleeping when you came by my apartment the other day. We'll hang out soon.

Adam and Laia. You don't fool me.

What I like about Adam is he's a nice guy who's really relaxed about everything. He also spills alcohol on himself. Much like I do. Adam, you are cool and I owe you $10 for the burger...

Pam, Kineta, and Jordan. I believe Kineta is doing some kind of "noodle" pose.

Me and Pam

Jordan

Adam, Rebekah, Carl, and Laia!

Really nice sunset at Fullerton and Clark in Lincoln Park.

Jordan, Tim, and Laia at Jordan's "I'm gettin' the hell away from CAF" party. Goodbye Jordan.

Finally, We Both Agree On Something!

Drinking on the stoop. It's a dream come true for me.


Mike Nummerdor, SME, Dustin Malmquist, and Amanda Talmadge drinking on the stoop waiting for Frances and Noah.


Tennessee!


Someone should tell Cliff that Tennessee isn't a little puppy anymore.


The Aux. Board Boat Cruise I went on for work.


Chicago at the river split.


Anne, who is our graphic designer at work and one of my favorite people.


Chicago from the Lake Michigan lock.


From the locks again!


A view of Chicago from Lake Michigan. The building in the center is the John Hancock building.


This is the bathroom in our new boat. Does anyone else think this is kind of a strange bathroom? What do you think they keep in the trunk? I was too afraid to check.


I found this poster hanging in the basement at work of Malcolm X. The revolution continues... He's from Lansing, Michigan and I'm from Muskegon, Michigan. That's pretty much not related.


Ice cream social at work. How many of you got paid to eat ice cream lately?


A terrible, but funny picture of Laia, Frank, Charniece, Martin, and Rebekah.


A nice picture from the ice cream social of Laia, Frank, Martin and Rebekah.

Ummm... Chicago is awesome and everything about being here is great.

So damn hot...

Man, it's like a thousand degrees outside today. I can't believe there are actually people who purposefully move to places that are like this all the time. This reminds me of my trip to Death Valley, California when I was 17. I vowed then I would never live in a place without water. Thankfully, my girlfriend has air conditioning...


The new Pink Line Train!


Wicker Park Festival. Look at the size of that Guacamole (sp?) bowl!


Wicker Park Festival. They were missing two things for a good fair. Good cheap beer and Chicago sausages...


Wicker Park Festival from Damen Stop Blue Line


Streetwall just off of Congress


One of the tall ships in this week for the festival downtown


Alley behind my work


Wabash Streetwall between Adams and Jackson


Moose made of bumpers from that artist in Evanston


Frances who know lives in Evanston. We went to a few too many bars and had about a 5th too much Rum. Arg!


Twisting TV at ABC studios on State and Lake


Frances and I at Snickers on State


Nick Nummerdor and Lloyd


FENN!!!


Frances and Matt.


Murder House neighbor, Christine (I believe)


Classified ads in Chicago


Matt is in awe


Frances and I somehow woke up at 7:30am sick to our stomachs, hungover, and trying to take the bus home. I didn't even get a nap in. Frances may be dead...


France Close. Intern, freelance artist, friend. R.I.P.

That's it from Chicago. I'm going to lay in front of the air conditioning and eat chips and cheese today. Much love.

xoxo,

Mike
