All Dolled Up

Guten Tag,

 Hayley and Roberto at Docent Appreciation Night. This is a work party we have every year to thank our volunteers for giving thosands of hours of free labor to the Chicago Architecture Foundation. Hayley and Roberto once again Vincent is an efficient killing machine. That is if wine is the target getting killed. About 384 of our guests for Docent Appreciation Night at the Hotel Intercontinental on North Michigan Avenue. Pretty swanky... Once again, proving that you can dress me up, but you can't take me anywhere. Nick setting up the new hammock at Murder House. SUCCESS! The Muskegon Exiles headed out to the suburb of Lyons (?) for a party where this couple installed an inflatable pool in their family room. Nick is testing the water. Matt and Tyler were disappointed because they thought it was "a pool of Jack Daniel's!" My new best friend Clark. If you pet him, he will be your best friend too! WARNING: This dog will drool all over you and will require you to wash you pants because of the sheer amount of slobber. All in for the pool party! Tyler, Mike, Katie, and Andrew out for fresh air and cigerettes at the pool party. In the backyard, they are installing a gnome garden, fire pit, and a trampoline that you can bounce onto from the roof of the house. Truly, this is a home owned by children and I applaud them. Matt, Andrew, Clark the St. Bernard, and Katie at the pool party buffett. Tyler starting up the grill. The grill! Matt, Tyler, and Karli grilling. At the Lincoln Park Zoo for the Earth Day celebration. As expected, the LPZ invited hippie jam bands to play making it the worst place on Earth to be as yuppies with stollers and hippies joined forces. It was like the South Park episode when hippies decent on South Park and take over everything. I would be Cartman... Outside of LPZ, all was good on a nice, warm Chicago day.

Later! Mike

"You Went To College For How Long? You Should Be a Doctor, Not a Loser..."

I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend. I had a pretty good one down in Chicago. I can't wait until we get back to that perfect 70 degree Chicago weather and I'm wandering the streets again...


R2-D2 Mailbox at Clark and Addison. Why? I'm not sure. There must be a nerd lobby at the Post Office or something. There are two other ones in the Chicago city limits at Navy Pier and just north of the river on Michigan Avenue. I wonder how many of these have been stolen and are up for auction on Ebay by now...


Conceptual art piece by some homeless man, I imagine. This is a block away from my old apartment on Geneva Terrace.


Easter Dinner. I've never had lamb before except in gyros. Which has a similar difference from steak and burgers.


Here's some of the side dishes. Some asparagus with orange peelings and all.


Megan, Ronan, John, Dan, and Heather during dinner.

They are really going to town on the Brown Line Expansion now. They've closed down the 4th rail and started tearing it up. I should think about a career change that involves mass transit construction.

That's it.

Won't You Bring Me To... Hockeytown?!?!

Hey,

Not too much to report. The weather is warming up and things have been going well...

Michael Jordan and the glory days of the Chicago Bulls. I'll never forget when Jordan dunked over the rock monster.


Inside the United Center for the Red Wings/Blackhawks game. $8 gets you into the Ironworks section!


The bloodbath begins. It must be terrible to be a Blackhawks fan.


Megan and her 13 pounds of corned beef her student gave her for Valentine's Day or something...


Wing night!


Federal Plaza looking north in the fog.


A metal brontosaurus comes out of the dense fog.


A Ludwig Mies van der Rohe building seemingly going on forever.


Shot of the post office with the city behind it.


I don't know what to think of these guys...


I LOVE GLAMOUR SHOTS! Especially of the dogs in the bottom right corner!


Dearborn station in Printer's Row. When my family first moved to Chicago from Germany, this was the neighborhood they worked in.


Nummerdor and Malmquist at Stella's!
