In the Hood
I live in a really great Chicago neighborhood: leafy tree-lined streets, an outstanding school, and friendly folks who only occasionally piss me off with their non-parking non-skillz (HINT: one car only requires ONE SPACE, stupidhead). But no matter how tranquil everyday life can seem, it's important not to forget that this is still the Big Bad City. Sometimes you need a gentle reminder. See Exhibits A & B:
This says that some jag is sitting in his car, waiting for women to walk by alone, then chasing them, stealing their purses, knocking them down and driving off.
This says that somebody needed some extra parts for their bike. Like all of them.
I passed both this morning on my way to the train. Other bad things that have happened on this street include a crazy man running up and punching me in the head, some thug trying to carjack me at gunpoint, and the worst $10 haircut in follicular history. (Confidential to Supercuts: thanks for NOTHING, drunktards.)

Stick a Fork In It, Perry Ferrell
Everyone's least favoritest local music snots, the moppets at Pitchfork, somewhat redeemed themselves yesterday by revealing an indie-licious line up for their Intonation Music Fest. So I've decided to channel the money I was going to spend on a Lollapalooza ticket into a two-day Intonation pass instead, which leaves me with approximately $78 leftover in beer funds. Sweet!
Advance tickets go on sale here tomorrow at noon. Who's in?
