Holy fuck what a long day. Awards banquet. I had 2 beers and glass of red wine to go with the aweome filet and some awful white fish I did not eat. Did not earn an award but came close enough to be hopeful...

I had a gig today. Volunteered. It was fun. I would do it again. I was invited to come back tomorrow. I love the Museum. Kids were cool. Any day with free Beau Monde dip is awesome....

Art Institute; Museum of Contemporary Art; Shedd Aquarium; Museum of Natural History . . . or, if you like creepy stuff, https://imss.org/contact-us/Food is indeed big in Chicago. Is there anything else though?
(lousy sport teams don't count)
See who's playing at Metro, Bottom Lounge, House of Blues, or Double Door?

- strong (kids) museum? memorial art gallery?
Memorial. I know Mr Hursh very well. I live nearby.
MAG is good chit. They have some great American paintings. Also, Monet? check. Rembrandt? check.Ancient Greek, Roman or Chinese art? check. You go, Rochester! I used to know people there . . . they've all retired or left by now.
Decent snow at Copper today. Bumming it in Crusty Butt now. Optimistic for tomorrow as it is snowing presently...
My friends are making a video about the elderly chess league and dimensia therapy. I recorded all the chess game noises. Exciting shit let me tell you. I then drove everyone home afterwards. I had extra reserves of patience that I was unaware I possessed. Elderly benefactor shit show...
There's something like eleventy-billionty brew pubsFood is indeed big in Chicago. Is there anything else though?
(just saying...)My SIL volunteers to "feed the fish" at the Shedd Aquarium.
While I suspect that's not as interesting as BEER, I could probably get you on the guest list for free if it were...
Double door is closed right now trying to reopen in different hood. Best museum in the city is Oriental Art institute at University of Chicago. All Persian and pre Roman middle east stuff. Super cool and empty usually. Plus that campus and the old Worlds fair grounds in that area are rad. Cocktail on 96th floor of hancock is super rad as well. Cool nighttime view from only 5 floors below the observation deck.
Thanks for all the tips. Except for the sucky weather (cold, fog, wind, cold, fog, cold, wind), it was a fair experience, with the exception of the Hyatt Regency which is now on my kill list.

totally forgot about that-we used to go there a lot when we lived there. it's cool to feel the building sway when it's windy. was also a good spot to watch the fireworks on the pier. one time, b/c of the wind, it looked like snow was falling up, which was super trippy. /coolstory
