The office last night.
University Club, #chicago

View from behind my mic stand, looking out on a warmly lit wood-paneled Edwardian room. On the dance floor in front of me a best man gives a speech facing a small head table where the bride and groom listen in disbelief

The Obama Presidential Library is a fucking hideous brutalist dystopian eyesore that perfectly encapsulates the moment in this country

We really enjoyed #Chicago Magic Lounge in Andersonville. Performers come to you for "table magic" sleight of hand, stage show, great energy!

Vintage poster of The Great Carter, the "world's weird wonderful wizard" with image of a man holding an orb and looking down at it. Small figures and playing cards float in the scene.

Northside Cutlery, #Chicago. They a) sell knives (some quite high end, including imported), b) sharpen and rescue knives, and c) will teach you how to sharpen them. Electron micrographs of "Science of Sharp"

Whiteboard with drawings of different ways to sharpen a knife. Full flat, compound, convex, hollow, single bevel, asymmetrical, S-grind. Also a couple of scanning electron micrographs, showing highly magnified knife edges: with a burr, and without a burr. "Science of sharp"

Still thinking about those delicious Steak Frites at Little Bad Wolf in Andersonville from over a month ago - highly recommended #Chicago

The office last night. Rialto Square Theater, #Joliet, IL.
Built in 1926; surely one of the most beautiful buildings in America.
#chicago #LiveMusic

My mic stand and guitar pedals are in the foreground, bathed in green and purple light, next to a massive marble pillar in the gorgeous neoclassical rotunda, with mural panels and a staggering chandelier hanging above
Entrance that leads to the rotunda of the Rialto, with event tables and chairs set up. Massive neoclassical pillars rise to an arched roof. The marble, plaster relief, painted panels, and gold leaf everywhere remind one of the Vatican.
Looking up at the incredibly opulently decorated rotunda of the Rialto, with the fantastic, massive central chandelier as its focus.
