Kick, punch, its all in the mind…
Been listening to this band lately, Lemuria. Found'em on Bridge 9, home of Strike Anywhere, Polar Bear Club, and H2O, amongst others. Chick and a dude playing some real great sounding stuff. Indie sound... punk notes... easy for most people with eardrums to get into.
Chicago…
Weather; 6 tics above ice cubes. Stayed in the lower degrees for the remainder of the weekend, but tolerable. First hint of Chicago city air had Tony Sly's voice on it from the bar above the train station. I love this city.
Food; unreal, envy-inducing. $20/entree price points at eateries that in DC would go for 3x. I think I ate an entire pig. The Publican, The Bristol, Frontera Grill.
- The Publican; left side all seafood, right side all meat, back side all beer. Heaven. Asleep before midnight, nuff said.
- The Bristol; gastropub on crack. Fresh pastas, rich & decadent... cocktail menu, try them all. Open-faced pig trotter sandwich.
- Frontera Grill; ruined Mexican food for me. Literally, licked my plate clean. Not embarrassed.
City; get lost here, immediately. The best thing you can do in Chicago is walk. Get away from Michigan Ave stat. Bucktown, Lincoln Park... gems on every block. Reckless Records, Intelligentsia, Argo Tea, Bobtail, Hot Dougs... if you happen by one of these in your travels, stop by and get mad they aren't in your city.
Til next time...

Time and time again…
Got inspired at about 12:15am a few nights ago to re-do this site. Here we are... I have felt the need to put words on paper more frequently lately so for the first time since owning this domain, I plan on actually using it.
From food to hockey to gaming to general bullshit, it's all going in here. Feel free to hang on for the ride, friends.
