I just had a whirlwind week/weekend with two of my good friends in town from Texas. Travis came up here to visit and see Chicago for the first time. Cliff was here on business and checking things out since he might be moving here. All in all we had a great time. We went to cool restaraunts, lounges, bars and one lame club. We went to go see the Phish show at the Allstate Arena! We saw a preview of the new revue at Second City with an extra hour set of improv and experimenting with new material. Travis saw all of the good sights downtown while I was in class. Thankfully there was 2-3 days of “nice weather” before we got the classic Chicago weather: a little bit of snow, 20-30mph wind and single digit wind chills. So I had my first out-of-towners come to visit me; they were definitely the guinea pigs for any future visitors I might have. I’m pretty sure they had a good time taking in Chicago. And I feel pretty good about that.
I was just listening to Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade - Buzzards of Green Hill
