Last Monday in Chicago (for now)

Met up with Johnny after work for sweet hangout at Grant Park, Millenium Park, and pedaling along LaSalle and then Milwaukee.

I swung by Life On Mars and got us a sliced seitan sandwich, mac n cheese, bbq baked black eyes peas, and the coconut greens. We had a little picnic in the park, sitting on a bench amongst the flowers. Gorgeous blue sky, beautiful surroundings, good food with good company, and ideal weather conditions. I had been to this park previously, but not since winter, when I went ice skating, but didn't go to see any of the other cool things to see. This city is gorgeous, and enjoying a perfect day with friends makes me not want to leave this place.

Riding along LaSalle then to Milwaukee home:















After I got back home, I was tired, but went to Delilah's for Punk Rock Monday, which Roy and I had gone to so many times this spring/summer. Although tonight Roy was not there; he was working.

I did meet up with cutie pie that i met a few weeks back. Turns out, roy took this pic of us out on the street, makes me smile:




And Danny! came out as well. It was great to see him before I left. I met Danny at a basement show back in the summer or 2008, and we never hung out or saw each other until this past June. He's a fun, funny guy. I'd like to come back up to chi in sept when he throws his bitchin' bday party at bob inn over labor day weekend.
