CHICAGO: If Hepatitis C Were Attacking Your Face Instead of Your Liver You'd Be Doing Something About It

i kinda went to a party friday. went to ronny's saturday night, dan martin was there as was a pig carcass. i tore pig ribs off said carcass with my bare hands and had the most savagely satisfying pork for pizza ever. went to a 4 o'clock bar around 2:30 and walked into a bachelorette party. the 4:00 bar was still serving me at 4:30, i left around 5, saw a rat run across chicago avenue. ate bacon, eggs and pancakes at a diner at chicago and western around 5:30 with polish day laborers and 2 drunk girls. one was named april and she was very chatty. that night i had a dream about santa claus. sunday i slept in, watched football, then burned 3 albums to put on my itunes.

and had the most savagely satisfying pork for pizza ever.
well done!

xp - O'Connor's. A bar where the groom used to bartend.

Wait, this wasn't the Underbar was it?

This morning haze hasn't burned off yet, even after two cups of coffee. I don't knw what else to do. Maybe I should eat something? Or will that just make me sleepy? Only one way to find out...

I think the grassy emptiness might be part of the rail yard...?

xpost- no, there used to be a building there, i think the foundation is still there.

yeah, that's kind of an understatement. i almost moved over there almost 2 years ago, there was a place north of chicago on fairfield. landlord was teh hott and she lived upstairs. awesome place but i found a better deal on augusta later that week.

--Partied in Oshkosh on Friday night, really overdid and had to play a parade + two sets on Saturday morning with a crushing hangover.

--Made a bacon veggieburger

--Saw horrible, horrible hip-hop band from Mpls and had to leave

--Watched the first half of the Battlestar Metallica mini-series. You're all right it is good stuff.

--Jesse, sorry for dropping out of chat again last night, my computer crashed as usual.

--Digd0wn will definitely be playing weekends at the Gr33n M1ll just before Xmas AND Fat Tuesday.

On Friday I went to see the Fake Fixxiones rock the house at Alliance. On Saturday I spent the afternoon writing. I also watched Tristam Shandy (clever but not particularly entertaining) and then steeled myself to drive out to the suburbs for the BIG REUNION. Which was: hmmm, kind of fun, but also really weird and somewhat disappointing, too, because for all the people who were there that I was like "OMG that guy" there were twice as many who I wished were there. There were maybe 40-50 overall out of a graduating class of 300-something? But whatever: I got drunk on gin-and-tonics and heard this gaggle of girls say in disbelief, as I was heading outside, "John smokes?" (My goodie-goodie rep hasn't left me.) Then yesterday Kr and I did laundry and then went to see Nina Nastasia (boring, although I think EZ likes her?) and Jose Gonzalez (totally captivating) at the Lakeshore Theater. THE END.

you can have grilled cheese and salsa sandwiches with me for thanksgiving if you're here. or you can go to jenny & jeff's and have a real thanksgiving but whatever.
