  • New Digs (Nearly) Secured

    The leasing company finally called me back. They aren’t pro-rating down the one month free their giving so my monthly payment will be more than I expected – but I’ll only be charged for half-rent in September as well as the last month of the lease – so I guess it all evens out. ANYWAY […]

  • Chicago Pride 2004 Report

    I’ve posted my blow-by-blow of the weekend’s festivities over at Queeries.org – so glad to be a part of that site! I’m hosting the photo album here though to spare Sam’s bandwidth. Pride 2004: The Chicago Report at Queeries Photo album

They managed to kill Circuit’s business by making them turn their music down and installing soundproofing. Note that the condo complex was built long after this strip of Broadway became partyboy central. Now they want to make the whole precinct […]

  • Outage

    Power outage on the north side. I think my stereo blew out. Or just the fuse. The thing’s old anyway – I mostly use it as an amp for the computer – the 3-CD player doesn’t work and I don’t play MiniDiscs with it anymore and the radio antennae doesn’t get reception since I’m halfway […]

  • California Teasin'

    I’m wearing shorts! Holy crap it’s warm today! I can’t believe it. It is important to remember that only 4 months ago I was proclaiming how cold it was in large swaths of profanity.

  • Murder in Boystown

    The murders of four gay men remain unsolved and at least two of the slayings are markedly similar, although police say they have no evidence to suggest they are linked. All of the victims were found stabbed to death, face down, in their homes. The crime scenes were marked by unusual violence, yet there were […]
