couple things...

• if you come and visit me in chicago, i will show you a good time. my old high school friend, bryce, is here visiting for a couple days. so what do i do? i scour craigslist in search of last-minute tickets to see dave chappelle do his stand-up act at rosemont theatre tonight. done and done. i've never laughed so long and so hard in my life. dave brought the good shit.
• for all of you colorado dwellers, my uncle just opened a vegetarian asian restaurant in aurora, co. very eclectic, trendy, and healthy. help a brotha man out and go eat there! drop my name, and i'm sure he'll hook you up. i'm his favorite nephew afterall! here's the link to windows cafe.

• attention all chicago bicyclists: on friday, august 25 around 5:30 pm, let's meet at the daley plaza (washington and dearborn) for crtical mass. what is critical mass? in short, it's a worldwide bicycle movement. on the last friday of each month, bicyclists take over the streets of downtown chicago. next friday, the chicago critical mass will commemorate the first anniverserary of hurricane katrina. along with riders around the country, chicagoans will roll the streets to remind everyone that the tragedy in the gulf continues. this initiative is being organized by rising tide north america. they're asking massers to decorate their bikes or pass out flyers calling attention to environmental justice for the katrina climate refugees. i did one of these rides in denver years ago, and it was a blast. get ready to go thrift store shopping and by some crazy nawlin' threads. you know i will. email/comment me for more information.
