Nothing gets me more amped for the start of baseball here in Chicago than the defacement of a Picasso statue.  As if having to endure drunken Cubs fans wasn’t enough.

Moved into a new place last week with Mickleboom and Rando.  So far so good.  I have the nicest bathroom in all of Wicker Park.  Here’s a shot of the city skyline from my roof

Max wanted to hit up Akira in search of some new kicks.  Saw this t-shirt and had to get a pic (take note of the price).

Got a chance to see Bon Iver perform a sold-out show at the Lakeshore Theater on Thursday night. Collections of Colonies of Bees opened the show and while they were enjoyable I felt like every song they played seemed like an extended intro to a song instead of a song itself. This may have been in part due to the fact that they don’t employ vocals.

Bon Iver was really impressive, achieving much of the same sound on their album – For Emma, Forever Ago – with just three musicians on stage. Justin Vernon’s voice sounded great and the Lakeshore was a perfect venue for their lo-fi musical stylings. Vernon was also a very genuine individual – even going out of his way to thank the soundboard engineer by name, which was a first. If you haven’t gotten to chance to check out their album I highly recommend it.
