...randomness surrounding Guided by Voices, Robert Pollard, and other great indie rock bands; a quasi objective look at "my" sporting teams; the random horror film; plus other crap as we see fit...all with a Pittsburgh based feel.

Noogies, Ice Nine, Jager Bombs, & Rooftops


Good times. Check that...Incredibly Good Times. Couldn't think of a better way to start our weekend (and Jess's B-Day) in Chicago on Thursday. We both had a blast. So good to see a ton of old friends, and major kudos to our host & chauffeur (who I know is readin this on his home page right now :)

here's some pics for those pals who ran the streets with us: Good Times in Chicago

Thumbs Up: Eggs Benedict at George's, the fascinating development of the Oak Park / Forest Park area, Caffe De Luca, Richie's new Final Cut, the institution that is Dennis & Ice Nine, McGaffer's and the Grinder I never had, Sully's, the crew that made it out Thursday, Eddie's Roof Top, Sub Tender and the Depth Charge, Bertolli's Pizza, the grub at Shanahan's, the mini-burgers at Northside, the gorgeous weather all weekend, pacing (sans Thursday night)

Thumbs Down: excuses, bus rides without A/C

more to come tomorrow and following days regarding Pitchfork Fest
