Making history is a family affair

Posted on November 5, 2008. Filed under: Family & friends, Other projects | Tags: , , , , , |

Jed, Archer, and I attended the Election Night rally in Chicago last night, which was clearly a history-making event.
There was much discussion about whether to take Archer along with us. There’d be a crowd, sure. There’d be excitement, sure. But I gotta say, Archer was the biggest reason I was excited to see whether Obama [...]

I blame J.J. Abrams

Posted on January 22, 2008. Filed under: Random, Travel | Tags: , |

The first clue were the three helicopters hovering above my neighborhood this morning as I left my building. Next were the trademark blue “City of Chicago” sawhorses lining a street corner on my way to the Montrose brown line el stop. Once I was just west of Ravenswood Avenue, I experienced an oddly brown mud/ice [...]

Saved it ’til the morning after

Posted on December 15, 2007. Filed under: Fun, My work | Tags: , , , , , |

We made it home from The Underground in one piece, with only the slightest hint of club disease.
The place was decked out in hanging red gauze, some of which looked like flames turned upside-down. (Since the club is on the basement level, the parallel was either intentional or laughably coincidental.) Other than that, it was [...]

What is Hip? (If you think you know…)

Posted on December 13, 2007. Filed under: Fun, My work, Random | Tags: , , , , , |

Bonus points if there’s a funk tune in your head after reading this post’s title.
The Underground is where my office’s holiday party will take place. It’s the latest, most hippest club in the country… or maybe not.
It’s where Shia LaBeouf partied (and got a little tipsy) before getting arrested at Walgreens – oh, but wait, [...]

I’m gonna Hustle

Posted on November 12, 2005. Filed under: Fun, Healthy junk, Other projects, Random | Tags: , |

On February 26, 2006, I’ll be climbing 94 floors to the top of the John Hancock Center, here in Chicago. This year’s Hustle sold out in a matter of a few hours, and I was lucky to get in. There are so many people who want to clmb stairs in high altitudes, all in support [...]

Degerbergian

The Degerberg Academy, where I’m learning “blended” martial arts, ain’t too shabby for a place no one’s heard of. Check out the article in today’s Chicago Tribune Magazine:

The wedding!

Posted on November 15, 2003. Filed under: Family & friends, Fun, Other projects | Tags: , , |

A brief recounting of the wedding, in case you were wondering…
8/31/03: It was a very fun night– but way too short. It rained all day, and I ripped a two-inch hole in my dress (on the front, no less) before I even left my apartment. These things are apparently good luck. Which is great because [...]
