If you are going to move to a new city (ie. Raleigh, NC to Chicago, IL) you might as well do it properly. No f'ng around. Just move in and hit it hard. Well, my newcomer friend Marc demonstrated last night that he has been doing just that. After a party at the Museun of Contemporary Art ended last night, during the brief discussion of where we should go next, Marc pulls out this raggedy folded up sheet of paper from his pocket with every possible destination in Chicago, hand written, addresses, addendums, checkmarks all included. Sh1t is crossed out if it sucks, checkmarked if he's been there, in different colors (the reason of which I don't know.) This is a guy who has a Blackberry. Fully functioning member of modern society. For some reason I find it funny that a) anyone would actually make such a list and keep it updated, and b) that he wouldn't just program the numbers into his Blackberry and instead carries this nasty folded up sheet of paper in his pocket. Either way, he obviously prizes this creation of his because the closest he would let me get to this thing was the picture taken above. Its actually kind of legible, so if you are ever going to be in Chicago, check it out. In his defense, all of the places from his list that he has dragged me to have been pretty good.

Blackberry? Obsolete in Chicago nightclubs.

This guy is john nash.
Actually you know how I met this guy for real? No joke. We were at some party, I told him I was from Calgary and he asked me if I knew Liam Kelly. Not that he was friends with Liam, but he had gone to camp with him in the 80s or whatever and remembers that he could smoke a whole pack of cigarettes all at once.
