Weather:
Mid 70s is what I’m hearing. To bad I’m going to miss it. Get out there and enjoy it for me.

The Boardmen is a new addition to the world wide web of skateboarding sites. Take a peek and see what they’re cooking up.

Is there something else I’m forgetting? Probably. I’ll remember it next week.

So the days are starting earlier and staying longer.

Morning

Last Friday I went to check out the Get It Together Again show. I thought it was here so I wandered around and checked out some of the basement shows. This is one of the best buildings in Chicago.

Chicago Cultural Center

Turns out it was across the street. No worries. I made it there right on time.

The show was a great showcase of a lot of different work. Here’s one of Ben Speckmann’s parking meters.

I really loved this piece by Michael Pajon.

It always seems like there’s nothing to do and then on one random night there’s everything to do. I left here and went to a show I really enjoy at 360see. Of course I didn’t take pictures. Take a look at Bag Painter to see some outstanding criminal portraiture.

Chicago Theater

After that I headed to the 50/50 Alderman show to mingle with some surprisingly lively alderman.

It was a pretty awesome show.

Everyone had their own unique take.

I was stoked to be a part of it.

I left to go meet Allison. She ate a cheeseburger. First one in over 20 years. Afterwards we tried to go back so she could see the show but there was a line out the door. When we finally did get in it was stuffed like a turkey.

Random cannoli.

The weather has been cooperative and tolerable.

Uptown Spring

Not the best pre-szechuan meal. It’s not bad but it take a bit longer to get it going.

Diwali Shwarma

Already putting footage in a folder for some sort of summer edit.

Dude Life Street Mission - Nick P

Filmed so much we killed the battery and had to shoot stills.

Nate - Backside Bank Ollie

An A-O-K Saturday.

First Full Day

Getting things done.

Long Day

Ended the night seeing the Party Downers.

Previously there was a trip to the fine land of Arizona. Here is some documentation.

Nostalgia and time travel. My childhood driveway.

There’s a new picture here.
