Chicago MMXII

What year is this one? Late 80s? I would have totally had a crush on that guy.

88

Sure he was pissed being stuck between those two other guys.

Also, Elizabeth Moss is pissed at the cameraman, or at her mom standing next to the cameraman making suggestions.

douche!

That article cracked me up.

Do you have to register to see it? All I see is the video.

Kass is a professional troll.

You know what I hate? There is a single brown line train that turns into a orange line train to Midway every morning. Therefore it doesn't continue around the loop. And I don't realize it until it is too late.

that single brown line train was completely awesome when we went to midway a month ago.

Missed this when it was live this morning, worth a listen (Bob Weston & Steve Albini on 848)

can I just say how much I like riding past the City Cat Doctor sign on Wells on my way to school

blargh, Europa Books is closing September 1st. On the bright side, everything is 50% off, so you can finally pick up that copy of Colloquial Breton you've always wanted.

For those interested, Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer tickets go on sale 9/1/2012 at 5:01 AM. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/270798

My favorite beer festival ever, well worth $45. I'm looking to go to the second session.

you guys this food picture turned my stomach
i can't even tell what it is!? http://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2012/08/27/one-bite-yvolinas-spinach-and-mushroom-tamale

looks like a partially eaten tamale to me, albeit an overly-extreme closeup of one

it looks like someone's insides
i realize it's difficult to get a good picture of a tamal, but yikes
that is not it

I do not want to eat that.

yay carl!

I love orang-utans.

they know how to live

Carl, I have heard the good news, and it is very good news indeed. Congratulations!

?

I posted it on 77 bc I was being discreet, but I got a new job!

I will happily respond with details via email for anyone who is not on 77. I will say that I totally sold out to B1g L@w, so keep your expectations low.

Oh shit, I apologize for ruining discreetness :(

Oh no, it's okay! Saying I got a new job is okay as long as nobody posts any real details outside of 77.

will check 77 for deets, but will congratulate here. way to go!

Thank you!!!

YAY CONGRATS. :D

Just popping in to say two things:

1) Congrats carl! That's great news.

2) For those interested, Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer tickets go on sale 9/1/2012 at 5:01 AM.

Assuming my friend is able to get enough tickets, I'll be going to this. Not sure which session yet though.

I will be shooting for the later one. Good to know who the winners are in advanced and get info in which kegs kicked first in the early session.

Makes sense, I'm tagging along with a group of friends so I'll be hitting up whichever one they're planning.

Hi jvc - how's it going?

Good, been enjoying a bit of a break from ilx for awhile, tentatively dipping my toes back in to a few threads.

Cool. A provisional WB 2 U.

Ditto!

Congrats, Carl. Can you expense lunch for us?

And did you need to get fancy clothes and high heels?

I'll expense lunch if I can get your business, and I already have fancy clothes and the highest heels that I am willing to wear.

Ooh. If we talk a little bit about a hypothetical case I might hire you for, then Wow Bao on you?

I'll come up with something like "My neighbor plays his stereo late at night. No case? OK. So, what's up with you?"

More like your employer bringing all of its legal business to my new employer. I'm in the big leagues, baby!

Jeff, I'm assuming you're already on top of this, but just in case, ticket sales for that event have been moved to 11:59 a.m. so you don't have to get up before 5 a.m. anymore. But then again you do run and runners are known for getting up at all ungodly hours of the morning so maybe it wasn't a big deal for you.

Yeah, it would have been better at 5 am for me. Now I just have to make sure I'm back by noon.

Here is a job opportunity for computer dorks - spamresource.com/2012/08/now-hiring-contactology.html

a woman i used to work with had seats behind home plate at the cubs game last night and she wanted to make sure her friends would be able to find her on camera so she got her husband dress up like waldo from where's waldo: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/293489_954371714302_1796352507_n.jpg
