    some notes about how i am in chicago right now

    1. I told a friend of mine at Zeno’s the other night I’d be here this weekend and his response was “…you’re coming back, right?”  So I have State College pretty well trained.

    2. Saw the Pixies tonight, seeing Fuck Buttons tomorrow.  Would that all of my work trips would have this much awesome music aligned with them.

    3. I felt bad for everyone at my meeting today who was on the first flight into ORD from wherever, and had to go do the Starbucks thing for breakfast, because I got here last night and I got to go to Alliance for my coffee and scone this morning.

    4. Tomorrow I’m going to Kuma’s for the first time; I’ve overlooked it or not had time for it on the last like eight trips here but my high school friends are ensuring that doesn’t happen again.  What should I get?

    is there anything better than flying over the city at night on your way into ORD?

    I can’t think of anything.

    Reason #4,766 why I miss Chicago every single day: they played the Whistler on Halloween and I missed it

    Amp was brilliant because without it, middle-school band nerds in the middle of the prairie who spent all their free time on the computer never would have known you could make music with those things.

    “I’m not the classic profile of what the ladies want
    You might think I’m depressed as can be
    But when I look in the mirror I see sexy ass me
    And if that’s somethin’ that you can’t respect then that’s peace
    My life’s better without you actually
    To everyone out there, who’s a little different
    I say damn a magazine, these are gods fingerprints
    You can call me ugly but cant take nothing from me
    I am what I am doctor you ain’t gotta love me”

    <3 you forever, minneapolis

    Went to the football game this weekend.  I should do that more often, provided I don&#8217;t ever have to pay more than face value for the tickets.
