chitty Bang chitty chitty bang
what an incredibly gorgeous morning. it's 72 degrees in chicago right now. a full 20 degrees less than it was when i was here last year. i'm in mike's living room watching the today show. i've had an incredibly good time so far. if you saw a girl lugging a blue suitcase through wicker park and the ukranian village yesterday, hi. that was me. i did my mandatory stop at quimby's, and walked up and down damen and stopped at a caffe de luca to have some coffee and read some comics and the waiter, who was the most magnificent guys i've ever seen, was "excited to dork out and talk about comics that aren't superheros". he gave me a suggestion for a comic artist, so back to quimby's i go. but seriously chicago....the dudes here are ADORABLE. on the el coming from the airport a cute guy wearing cool glasses sat down next to me and he smelled like toast. it really doesn't get better than that. i went to the rotofugi gallery to see the show i wanted and it just further flamed the fire for how much i want to make art and own a gallery. the bus ride down to the gallery was awesome. a man got on the bus and sat across the aisle from me and was talking and i figured he was on his cell phone thing and proceeds to hike up his pant leg and re-do his knee wrap and i'm not really paying attention until i realize what he's saying is "chitty chitty bang bang chitty bang chitty BANG chitty chitty bang chitty bang bang". and then grabs the bar above his head and starts doing pull-ups. and then stretches. i turned and looked out the window, delighted for the weirdness, but honestly, if this had been in DC, i would have been like "fucking DC FREAKS" and angry. so i guess it's all in the location. i have 7 hours before i can check into the motel. and my face is feeling itchy.
