My Kinda Town

My getaway

So, I took a nice break from reality last week. My friend Jason Goldman and I went to work for IMT, and found ourselves on the streets of Chicago. Due to the serious nature of school and my personal life these days, it was a refreshing escape. I bought a digital camera before going, and I got some great pictures like the one above. I had a good time. We went to the Second City, a famous comedy club where the likes of Chris Rock, Chris Farley, the Blues Brothers, Mr. Akroyd and Murray all got their starts. In fact, it is the biggest talent supplier to Saturday Night Live. It was great. I got to go out and eat at the good local ethnic restaurants, and of course the pizza of Giordanos. I was able to do the touristy things too like the Sears Tower and the Navy Pier. The weather today feels much more like Chicago did, but overall I really miss Chi-town already. Reality is setting back in quickly, but it was a very nice handful of days where I didn't have to face mortality, work, stress, or anything else troubling. I even heard from Emmie once I got back. It was a nice place that I'll have to go back to one day I'm sure. It's big and bold, like me, and even though complex it still has charm. Yep, Chicago is my kinda town.
