Envy Thy Neighbor
Recently finding out a Facebook friend is a neighbor at Marina City, it was only a matter of time before I came over to check out the view. Oh, envy. Oh, West Tower, why must you mock me so? Watch the video and see what I mean.

A Fair to Distemper
Last Thursday, I did the Wisconsin State Fair badly. In my defense, I meant well. But having been to only two state fairs in my life--Arizona's in 1990 and New York State's in the Shea Stadium parking lot--I was ill-prepared for the scope of Milwaukee's century-old annual festivity. Not to mention the heat.

Misbehavin' with Ms. Bea Haven
J.T. Newman is an unlikely ecdysiast. Wednesday, over sidewalk cocktails at downtown Chicago's Emerald Loop, she shared with me her journey from future office lackey to the blogosphere's 'dyke darling' of burlesque, Ms. Bea Haven.

Okay, an envy-inducing view to be sure. Still, though, I don’t feel *too* bad for you. I wouldn’t mind living in one of the corncobs, though I don’t know how I’d feel about having the House of Blues (and its noisy concertgoers) as my next door neighbor.
Jasmine, additional reason to envy my neighbor, Matt: you can’t hear the House of Blues crowd from his apartment tier. Grr…
Sorry.
That’s OK. I’m still higher
that actually made me ‘lol’
