Well, Nick and I went exploring in Lincoln Square last night. At first, it was really exciting. Then we crossed Lawrence and it was ugly. Then, we went crossed back over and it was nice again - lots of little cafes, a couple record stores, a cheap movie theatre... But I don't know. It seemed like everyone lives in either cool/bizarre victorian houses or rents an apartment in a huge, ugly complex. Then there were a handful of trendy condo buildings. Plus, I started to worry that we'd feel too isolated out there, especially in the winter.
So I don't know. I doubt we'd be moving there really soon, but maybe... I need to explore more neighborhoods.

The band decided to rent a full-size van to go down to O'Hare tomorrow, so I don't need to worry about O'Hare parking fees after all.

Exactly what I had in mind. I think I'm going to see it again on IMAX soon.

Paunchy, have you been to see the Linc0ln park place? When we first came up to chicago, we stayed at nick's friend's apartment in lp, which was nice, but also very very pricey.

The LP place fell through. It's looking now more like a studio apt. at Irving Park and Lakeshore Drive. Right on the park, big old apartment building. I haven't seen it yet.
Why I'm moving is hard to explain. Jessa and I are fine -- better than ever, actually -- but I need a place of my own. A place for my stuff. Somewhere where I can keep my CDs meticulously alphabetized and no one will ever touch them but me.

BIZ3 & PUMA PRESENTS LADY SOVEREIGN
BIZ 3 and PUMA present... LADY SOVEREIGN and guest djs (t.b.a) 21+ $10 cover 10 pm http://www.ladysovereign.com/ Taking over the UK is 18 year old Lady Sovereign who is already bouting with the best of them. She just signed a huge world wide deal with Universal and is down musically with the likes of Basement Jaxx, Obie Trice, Dizzee Rascal, The Streets and D12. A tiny 5 foot 1, she delves out the beatdown on the alternative microphone with witty lyrics and a flirtatious cheekiness that brings to mind no other. Her music is the current sound of inner city estates in the UK, obvious influence taken from popular dance movements such as grime, garage, jungle, ragga, hip hop and r & b. America has not yet seen anyone like of Lady Sovereign. This will be part of a limited 8 show U.S club date tour followed in 2006 with the debut album and a full stage tour. Don't miss what will be a historic event.

I'm nervous, and I don't know why. I'm getting a good deal on the place, so even if it completely sucks I'll probably take it anyway. I hope it doesn't completely suck. I hope it has some kind of a view. I hope it's not the size of a closet.

also you'll be close to a number of specialty supermarkets. if you like to cook. well, even if you don't like to cook, you'll still be close to them, but they won't be of much use to you.

I may be seeing a lot more of all of you if I get this job in Evanston. Meaning that I'll be stopping by and bugging you on the way home to avoid rush hour. And hanging out in the old hood. Having Middle Eastern food and such. Could be ok.
But man, that's going to be some kind of shit commute. It takes me 20 minutes just to get to the red line from here, much less Evanston.
