I remember when there was a Caleb Williams vs Justin Fields argument.

I’m drinking Old Irving, my water is sponsored by Jameson and menu sponsored by Guinness.

A good way to miss some nice weather, a friend's concert, and Open House Chicago is to get an ear infection. I'm not a happy camper today!

DIIV. Salt Shed.

Taking a walk at Camp Randall, what a beautiful university.

Taking a walk at Camp Randall, what a beautiful university.

The new White Sox slogan is out, "Losing Ugly". Let's hope that does not stick and they can win Game 5!

There’s an old guy in first row at Sox game and I’m pretty sure he attended that 1906 World Series.

Trump and Paxton ads during Bears - Jets game, you can just go ahead and fuck off!

Go Sox!

Not sure what was more painful: Watching the Cubs or the repetitive ads for crappy shows on Peacock. Thanks for the free trial but NO thanks!

Bad look for PCA last night, he came off as a spoiled crybaby. Get him in touch with a good PR firm immediately!

Leave it to me to go into the wrong hall at the Hilton. Not that I don’t like Democratic stuff but I did find the Indie Spirits Expo eventually….

Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band from Louisville playing in the back of Nachbar, lucky to have showed up when we did!

Fancy cocktails at Maker’s Mark Distillery, more brown liquid to follow…

Off to a good start in Louisville!

My previously blue HiTop Vans must have magic powers, feet don’t even feel wet.

I once saw the Effigies play at the Fireside Bowl.

Josh Caterer Trio, just Wow!

This is Steve Dawson and his wife Diana, so good! Overheard elsewhere at the venue “Hey your parents are trying to find you, it’s getting late and they’re leaving!”

I don’t need the volume of the movie to know what’s going on. One of the very best comedies ever!

Sorry Chicago, I’m gonna have to pass on this coffee.

I tried to watch some of the NFL game tonight, and the NFL is very boring. The average action in a game is about 13 total minutes (with many of those plays being boring). And an average game takes about 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Yacht Rock on the Riverwalk, what the heck am I doing with my life!

The high school stage at Jazz Fest is great, this is Kenwood Academy and they sound like professionals!

I can’t believe how many empty seats there are at Wrigley tonight!

Support Local Music (in the rain) Neptune’s Core!

Moody’s Burgers and Ted Leo, some Pharmacists, a very good night.

www.edgewater.org/edgewater-mu... Ted Leo at 8:30 tonight, thank you!

Sunday is almost always omelette day!

I don’t think it could any louder in Chicago than where I’m at, air show jets too!

My pup Bruno spends some time at Bow Wow Lounge on Ravenswood. We are both so sorry for your loss, we love Hillary!

Fun times in Cleveland!

It used to be Greenbush. Still a great area for a 30-mile bike ride!

@nicoleoppenheim.bsky.social great to hear some Ear Candy this morning on Chirp Radio!

Yes it’s Ben Folds and the Grant Park Orchestra, good Summer chillin’ in Chicago.

Storm in Chicago today, this is a block from my house on Edgewater.

Weather Channel app said 70% chance of rain last night that did not happen, then 15% chance today which totally happened!

Did the Bananas win at Wrigley?

Enjoyed a cheap ticket and Stars (and Metric and Broken Social Scene) at the Aragon tonight. Sound still sorta sucks there. Nitecap at Rogers Park Social Club!

Moving around a bit at Pavement. Y’all are Summer Babes!

And my dog is 6!

Gotta say this smoke in Chicago and surrounding areas is no joke. I could have swore one of my neighbors houses was on fire when I stepped out today!

Very much enjoyed Deeper tonight, nice and loud!

It’s gonna be difficult to cheer hard for the USA tonight since the Prez is such a cheater!

Some people in Chicago went to the beach today, better idea would be to find an early opening bar that has good a/c.

Bonus plant that grew through the fence. Thanks neighbors!

It was me, I vandalized the reflecting pool. Or maybe just Science had something to do with it....

Lake week is off to a great start, it’s really nice to almost totally unplug. The old days really were better when folks actually had to do things away from their phones even though Hair Metal existed.

Some dog I know that is about to turn six, first time out of Illinois and loving the Michigan lakefront (Diamond Lake).
