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.

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

A curved brass colored sign over an entry that says LITTLE BAD WOLF. It's dark out and the sign is illuminated from above.

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"

Went and saw the Billy Idol doc the other night. Total GenX fodder, but ultimately interesting. My take away what that Billy Idol was one of those people where the sizzle WAS the steak. His greatest talent was being himself—an icon.

Some more views of the stunning main theatre space.
#RialtoTheater #Joliet #Illinois #Chicago

Looking out from the stage onto the beautifully decorated theatre space, with red velvet chairs on the main floor and in the balcony, and beautiful chandeliers hanging down.

View of the stage from the side of the theatre, where we can see the orchestra pit and the red curtain which is currently lifted to show a stage space

View from one side of the theatre space, with the stage on the right and the balcony in the upper left. We can see all the beautiful detailing of the ceiling, as well as the red velvet curtain, and seats.

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.

A performer manipulating something in a bag while two stage helpers look on.

Inside scene of a club. A performer is doing sleight of hand for a seated group.
