That looks like a good location. It'll be a little bit of a walk to the L, but you've got the zoo, North Ave beach, Old Town, and Second City fairly close. Steppenwolf and Goose Island aren't too far away either.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Several major bus lines go by there too.

excellent! Thank you guys. I put up a post on the F2F thread about our trip... I was able to make a super freaking early reservation at Girl & the Goat on Friday... afternoon, really, at 4:30pm (!!!!!), but I was thinking about maybe doing some good beer pubbing afterward, if anyone is interested? Saturday is pretty flexible too.

I'm definitely in. There are a lot of options near G&G.

I was sad about having to miss the Chicago Worldcon (which is on right now) because I'd also have to miss Chicago. But then I couldn't do it anyway because of The Project What Goes Live This Weekend and then Mom's death, so even if I'd gone I'd be either leaving early or guilty about being there.
Conclusion: not one of my better weekends.

I'm sorry, Theodosia. You'll have to come visit at a time when it can actually be fun and relaxing for you.

Heard some teens in the alley, talking trash. But what caught my attention was the unusual topic: "Yo, those fuckin' armadillos carry leprosy,yo! They curl up like a ball, and they are like TOUGH fuckers, yo!" They were very animated.
I've heard odd conversations out there before, but this was a topic I was least likely to expect.

Amadillos are totally tough fuckers, yo!
I love teens. They crack my shit up.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm rather tickled that he's apparently been gnawing on a rolled-up armadillo.
