"We're Not Underwear! We're Not All Perfect!!!!"

Hey! Welcome to the best city America has to offer!

 Looking north on State Street at Madison. Matt, SME, and Cliff on wing night at the Couch. The crew at the Couch Nick, Angela, and Tyler at the Couch. Rob's Album Cover. The Last Supper; Probably Not... Matt delusional after 30 wings. Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler's Auditorium Building (Roosevelt University). Facade of Auditorium Build. I went on a tour of this today for class. Auditorium (Hotel) entrance column Detail of relief. Grand staircase Sullivan Room fireplace. Dance room! An electrolere (sp?) Now with the lights on! Each light weighs 500 lbs. and was $10,000 a piece to restore. The library (former dining room). A view of Buckingham Fountain from the Auditorium Building. You may remember it from Married With Children. Dining room ceiling detail. Study room (former private dining room) Chandelier. Stainglass at entrance of the Auditorium. again... and again.... some more.... it is nice, right? and pretty? Ok, it's the last one. Lobby of the Auditorium .. Walking into the Auditorium A view from the Auditorium stage. So many famous people have stood from this spot from musicians to US Presidents. Now me. How did I get here? Detail of Auditorium. Tyler and a girl. I didn't get introduced since I was working on my 'zine. It's almost done... Blue and Nick Matt and Lady!

That's it from beautiful Chicago. I'm going to go watch TV with the boys and drink some beers now.

Self-Parking Cars

So, I'm at the Illinois DMV getting a new license with a picture that makes me look like a fat serial killin' terrorist when I look a bit closer at my birth certificate. My parents were 26 years old when they had me. I'm 26 years old and no where near children. Having children and getting married is what old people do. Spooky and just in time for Halloween! Which, I have lots of Halloween parties to go to before I go on a trip to Indiana this weekend.

I'm putting out another 'zine and need writers. For more info, visit: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=21946350&blogID=180170212&MyToken=dd4ce09e-cf0d-422e-a74b-f8736613d785

Enjoy!

Look what I have to deal with!

Chicago traffic is out of control.

Creepy store displays are my favorite.

The set of Escanaba In Da Moonlight, which I saw at the Circle Theatre in Forest Park, Illinois. I liked it better than the movie since it was a bit more refined. The story was way clearer and more vulgar. Who knew I was this much of a Michigan man?

Storefront in Forest Park, IL

I wonder what the purpose of this was originally? It's not an umbrella holder...

The purpose of this is to make me smile.

Chicago Marathon near Fullerton on Clark. There were 40,000 runners. Way too much for me to do that early on a Sunday morning...

X-Men Unite!

Much love and hope to see you all soon!
