Got to see a fire truck, a petting zoo, and connect with many other families created through adoption at The Cradle open house today. :)
Spent the afternoon outdoors BBQing with friends.

Crookers! Maya Jane Coles! Nicholas Jaar! Justice! Damian Lazarus! Chris Lake! Cedric Gervais! Rusko! Steve Bug! If they add The Loops of Fury at the last minute I might have a heart attack.
Already got my tickets so see ya at Montrose Beach! Be there or be square.
This damn near bordering on epic… and I don’t use that word lightly!

1) River tour. If it’s warm out, a historical/architecture tour of Chicago is rad for both tourists and locals. Aside from a nice, breezy trip on the not overly smelly river, architectural tours in Chicago actually have significance. This isn’t your chumpsville city where you paid a bunch of dipshits a cool million to design a glass dildo in the center of your three-block downtown. Buildings in Chicago actually mean something to the history of the city, and you’ll learn something about the meat packing industry, health and sanitation, immigrant migration, and other cool stuff that you probably won’t appreciate because you’re a fucking uneducated hick. Fuck you

You’ve come a long way, baby. I still can’t believe that Streeterville/River North used to be such a hellhole of surface lots, warehouses, and industry.
