We knew this guy was going to have a really rough road. He was likely to be a hospice case. He suddenly passed today while starting treatment. He learned love and compassion and didn't die alone, the best outcome we could have asked for, to be honest.

 

This is a nice story from the 90s

Spoiler for the TV show Ironheart

They mentioned The Bottom Lounge, I was caught off guard, it took my brain a few seconds to register what they were referencing lol. The show is based in Chicago.

Get fucked, Condé Nast.

 

Went to a show on the lake tonight to see Pictoria Vark, Squirrel Flower and Free Range and it’s cool things like this where I am reminded Chicago is the coolest city.







A guy named Eli Schmitt (eli_schmitt on Instagram) put the show together and he has been putting on some unique shows like this one lately, which is very sick.

 

This was an interesting article with what they do with all those tires that are unusable

Hi hello, a couple weeks from today I am going to be spinning some (entire) records at CHIRP's Both Sides Now, a themed vinyl listening event that we do monthly Upstairs at Schubas. I will be playing:

• Sufjan Stevens' Seven Swans
• Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter's SAVED!
• Julien Baker's Sprained Ankle

Free to attend, drinks and food available from Schubas/Tied House if you want. Come hang and listen to some (kinda) Christian music.

 

And here I thought it was a Naked Gun reference. Which, now that I think about it, may be a record reference itself.

 

This is awesome

Dream of doing this on the CTA. Maybe one day.

Ah. I guess that’s the difference between pulling that move on public transport versus the airport.

Weird amount of effort for a guy who's a notable piece of shit and not relevant at all

 

Interviewing for a job that would require me to relocate to this lovely city and I’m actually flying in next week for my final interview in person! I feel pretty good about my chances, just would be such a big change and I’m nervous about having to find an apartment so quickly. The office is in Niles but I only need to go on site 2 days a week, so I’d be okay commuting a little further if it isn’t an every day thing. Not sure what areas I should even start looking or some sites to use and I’d love some recs just so I’m ready to start looking ASAP if they send the offer.

 

I think the biggest questions are how big of a commute you're willing to make those two days a week and how close you wanna be to, say, venues and stuff (and also how much you wanna use your car outside of work-related things, assuming you have a car).
