Baha'i Temple

Took a brief trip out of the country to visit this gorgeous temple. No wait! This is actually accessible by L. Who would have guessed?

The Decembrists

Head's up Chicago crew, the Decembrists are going to be at the Metro August 6th.

Olympics

Here in Chicago, we are still the favorites for 2016.

At the Intersection

of Chicago, Soccer, & Advertising.

Look who comes to the city tomorrow.

Evidently

you can call up the Steppenwolf the day of and get half price tickets in the second row. Who knew?

First Chicago Snow! (that sticks)

Put on those boots as you walk to work. What a pleasant surprise. Also, I can't get this song out of my head. As near as I can tell the words don't mean much of anything. It is rather peppy and cathartic though. And I should point out that the refrain which begins with "nobody knows you..." seems to be in a positive rather than depressive light.

Yesterday I joined a climbing gym. There's nothing like waking up in the morning with your arms and back completely torn up. I'm serious - it's an addictive feeling.

Life in the Big City

Some of the goings on in the city this summer.

Half Acre

Chicago has a new Beer! Check it out in the link to the left. Being from the east coast and having spent some significant time on the left coast I have often lamented that the third coast has a surprising dearth of good micro brews. Perhaps this challenge to Goose Island is a start. The first glass tastes pretty good and the smell is heavenly. Let's find the brewery sometime and do a tour.
