Pilsen Migration and the Fallow Conflagration













Tuesday!  I'm moving, in-city, by Sunday!  My epic search (epic in the way Michael Bay's Armageddon was epic, so not really) has concluded, waving the peripatetic white flag at Racine Ave in Chicago's Pilsen Neighborhood.  Ironically, I grew up in Racine, WI, and while it's tempting to make some sort of tarot-card connect the dots/coming full-circle sort of thing -- I have FAR bigger issues to attend to, like: Do I have my own can-opener?

That's right folks -- it's Scavenger Hunt time.  I've been living with one of my Best Mates for the past year -- riding the Gravy Train in his posh condo -- and my things have, sort of assimilated or just generally disappeared.  So, when you imagine me cultivating new ideas in my fecundate, fallow setting, the duality of being entrenched in an unflagging internal debate/inventory over functionality, quality of life VS complete minimal living will be a constant, but it's a good thing, really.  It's a fairly malleable space I can mold into one giant office -- a Healthy Book Club Headquarters if you will, and if that's a little too Fight Club for you I'll spare you the details on the uniforms.

There's a spare bedroom, and, if I'm so inclined I could rent said space out: on the cheap!  Maybe I could auction it off on the Blog here: an international essay contest as to why you feel you'd make the best roommate: prettier, smell nicer, constant flow of drugs, you like all the same coffee/tea/fine groceries i do, we can read to each other at night -- anything!

In other news, per blog-inspiration, my Pirates VS Drug Lords West Side Story redux will be staged @ Second City in our show come August: Southwest Side Story.  Thank you current events!

So you may infer I'm lacking in ideas/focus/general shit to talk about today.  Can't someone else entertain you?  Yes!  Check out some friends' blogs:


Also friends -- I'm in no way Blog Savvy w/r/t other cool blogs out there, so if you've got something you deem as The Bees Knees please send it my way.
