I texted this to like half the people I know in brickspace simply captioned "I think we're gentrifying."

They are planning to offer a class where you do trivia while waiting for your freshly-poured candles to set. They're calling it "Flames and Games" which is a great title for like, a gay D&D guide.

Between this, the indy coffee shop next door to it, and the craft cocktail bar going in across the street, summer 2024 should be a downright festival of amazing peoplewatching.

[ID: A sign hanging in a storefront window near my home; it reads "Opening Spring 2024: Embers + Apothecary, Chicago Candle Bar. Join daily candle making classes or host a private party." The text is laid over an image of someone pouring a cup of wax into a candle mold.]

A friend gave me a little magnetic bookmark today. I am very fond of it.

May 15: Chicago trip, part four.

I am incapable of not taking pictures of stickers on signs and poles and basically wherever I find them, part one.

Wreaths and flowers laid at the base of a statue.

The ghost of a half moon above the city.

The Field Museum—remind me to tell you of the time I went swing dancing there, after hours.

I am incapable of not taking pictures of stickers on signs and poles and basically wherever I find them, part two.

Dolphins on an orb coming out of some books; all of it covered in graffiti. (Or: Take a look, it’s in a book…)

You think I am stubborn?

Wait until you meet my printer.

Because she is the real oversensitive drama queen.

It's not every day you get to crochet a penis onto a tapestry but boy these old Germans had some fun

Well, I'm in superhell and Roma lost the cup match in penalty shots, but I walked past the Printer's Row fountain and the fence was down. My cryptid daughters are now preserved in stone!

[ID: A photograph of a brick laid in the foundation of the Printer's Row Fountain; it has been engraved "Sam, Deebs, & Dot". I can't believe someone else submitted a brick "In memory of Eliot Ness" but they wouldn't let me put "For the love of god, Montresor!"]

Chart b finished on shawl #10, which means I’m officially free from purl decreases. People who can do purl two together through the back loop and don’t want to cry are stronger than me.

Chicago Beer Pass: RIP Temperance

Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White have a few cans of Oktoberfest from Printer's Row Brewing. With so many Oktoberfest beers in the Chicagoland area, it's kind of surprising how different they can be. As the guys knock back a couple of cans, they talk about Alarmist Brewing, Illuminated Brew Works, Printer's Row Brewing, and Duneyrr Fermenta. Finally, they close out the show by talking about the closing of Temperance in Evanston. If you want to have one last beer at Temperance, you only have a few days… and if the weather is still nice, you can enjoy it on their patio.

Special shout out to the printer at work with it's chronic belt problems, it's paper indigestion (do not feed it 80gsm paper), and so many more things I cannot remember off the top of my head that like to crop up at the most inconvenient times.

but also a great big fuck you to the cursed school magazine that KO'd not only our printer, but a secondary printer in the process while trying to meet the deadline.

Sometimes it's printers. Sometimes it's the project itself.
