GET A TACO MORANS

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 27 December 2006 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

around the cali blue line stop will probably be the next place i move once i can wrap my brain around the idea of packing and unpacking my apartment again. i always say this time is the last time but it never is. it's either up that way or out to humboldt park, which, truthfully, if it was on california on the park, it really wouldn't be so bad.

Friend bartending near Irving Park and Sheridan = hahaha umm not that I've been there in a few years, but last I spent time the main options on said corner were like Nick's Uptown and the new Holiday, making the area some weirdass northern reflection of that one corner on Milwaukee in Wicker Park? And then Nick's was open like two hours later than every other bar, so the clientele of various sorts of places would funnel into Nick's around closing time and inevitably someone would get physically tossed out, maybe by bouncers, maybe by fellow patrons? Plus also crappy plastic darts and the erotic swimwear Memory boobies game.

I believe Otto's friend is at Holiday.

Directly across from the Michoacan II! And around the corner from a convenient hot-dog stand, if you're too drunk to trust that you won't accidentally order yourself a brain taco.

i'm told there's a good burrito place on belmont

roffle! there's two, near southport, where i used to live in 1998. neither are that good.

also, completely discount everything nabisco ever says on the subject of chicago food considering that he 1. likes flash taco 2. doesn't like chicago-style pizza.

john's spreadsheet continues to creep me out... yes, my friend is at holiday club, across the street from nick's. fuck that about flash taco, i love it though i never go unless i'm loaded and i hate that casserole of a pizza that is chicago deep dish.

you are from boston so whatever you have to say about any food whatsoever is immediately invalid.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Thursday, 28 December 2006 00:04 (seventeen years ago) link

if you can't boil it i don't want it. stevie ray vaughn is on in the bar, kenan is digging it, me and jon are h orrified.

best burrito i had in chicago = at the tiny place on the same block as the green mill, but only because i lived 2 blox from there and we were usually drunk.

HELLO JW IN CHICAGO!

CHICAGO, LAND OF 1000DANCES>???!

― ian (orion), Thursday, 28 December 2006 04:04 (seventeen years ago) link

i would like to visit chi-town some day.

i would like to go back sometime. i went last winter but it was with parents and i think it'd be much better to go do real people things than parentally friendly things.

― tehresa (tehresa), Thursday, 28 December 2006 04:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Last night I was trying to think of an NYC/Chicago translation map (prompted by thinking "hey Jon, Belmont = 14th Street"), but I didn't get very far. I don't know if that says more about their being totally different cities or just my imagination not working.

So not Fiesta Mexicana but the place on the Lawrence side? That place is durrty.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 28 December 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I think that place has opened within the last year or two, so I'm guessing not that place.

what's the temp in chicago today?

― bohren un der club of gear (bohren un der club of gear), Thursday, 28 December 2006 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Low 40s.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 28 December 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Me too. I would really like to go to Chicago or NYC in March, but so many expensive things coming up in 2007 I'm trying to save for. (Starting with a new fridge later today.)

― Joe Isuzu's Petals (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 28 December 2006 18:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i just woke up. *yawn*, i suppose i should call work and find out if i'm still employed.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Thursday, 28 December 2006 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link

ooooh my head

― jw (ex machina), Thursday, 28 December 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

last time i was in chicago it was a short amtrak layover and i had JUST enough time to go down the street for some italian beef w/ giardiniera and then run back to catch my train. it was cold that day anyway.

the museum of science and industry is swell, totally one of the best science museums in the country (not as good as the one in san francisco though).

So does Kevin still have job? Will JW recover from hangover in time for Thirsty Thursday?? STAY TUNED!!

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 29 December 2006 01:41 (seventeen years ago) link

i still have the job, luckily i've been so sick (as jon can attest by his repeated "are you sure you don't want some dayquil?" at the bar) that they assumed i wasn't coming in. when i came in this morning they told me to go home, depending on how much i get done i may take off soon.

and jon/kenan, did we close out our tab before leaving wednesday? i know i closed out the first tab when the bartender's changed shifts but we had a few more after that.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Jon, when can we hang out? My band is playing a show on Saturday early evening if you want to come, not too far from your HQ. Sorry I wasn't able to make drinkeez the last couple nights.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:04 (seventeen years ago) link

hey, i'd be up for more drinks tonight (though i'm staying the fuck away from the jameson this time around). i have to meet a guy about a thing but i'll be around probably after 9:30 or 10 if you guys want to catch beers somewhere.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I might be up for that. Kr and I are going to Green Zebra for dinner at 7, and then we're making sure Nick and Sarah's cats aren't dead, but we don't have plans following that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:31 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm going to politely suggest that c-n-st- isn't really jon's style

― baby wizard sex (gbx), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

You're right, it's not.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Much like Hurting, it's not always my style, either.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

i've never actually seen c-n-s-t- but i did happen to be drinking at the bottle once during your sound check. i don't think i't's my style either.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

oh all the various letters that can fit into c-n-st-
i like some of their songs! the dancey ones

isn't there also a medical museum in chicago? if/when i visit chicago i would also go there. am jealous about good burritos.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:28 (seventeen years ago) link

museum of surgical science i think it's called.

actually, i guess it's the international museum of surgical science.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, that's it! probably a bit dry but fascinating all the same

― impermanent rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll go with you

― baby wizard sex (gbx), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

i used to take visitors there whenever they came through town but all i have are recycled visitors now and they all say "but we went there LAST time!" so now i just take them to bars and get them drunk.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 29 December 2006 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

speaking of dry but fascinating, i really REALLY want to go the the gerald ford library & museum. the only downside being that it's in grand rapids. but that's still a semi-reasonable drive away and i really do wanna go.
