Let's Blow...

No windy city here - seems I brought all the good weather and it fell out when I opened my suitcase on Thursday. It has been a great day or two wandering about.

I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked, as I saw more than I can show later, but I did learn the subway and transportation. Learning how to get around should make it easier when I come back to visit again.

The city is nice. Old and new. It is hard to be lonely with so many different people running about (but evidently I still tried hiding behind a camera). I'll update and post my pictures ASAP.

I'm on my way home and hope to see you all soon.

ChiCaGo-go-go

I'm in Chicago! Had work out here and now that I'm done I'm going to look around. I'd fly back but no flights until early Sunday a.m.

So hopefully I'll be able to stop worrying about old friends back home and take some pictures. Maybe I can make it to the Sear's Tower and "The Bean".

Beers aren't queer

I was lucky enough to go to the Black Cat with a friend. Evidently, we weren't photogenic enough to be photographed...but it was fun to get out.

300

I saw 300 on the opening night with two of my friends - I love midnight shows.

I found the Penny Arcade comic and it reminded me to mention it. I thought it was a good movie, with a mythic style. You could also see the SinCity-like graphic violence; not real but dreamlike.

Johny Cash

I've heard the David Bowie and NIN version; this has to be the best one - his last song recorded I believe.
