Maybe you stayed in your dorm room because at some point it began raining and became somewhat miserable on those hard, aluminum benches?

Thanks for clarifying. I read a false report and wondered why I hadn’t heard more about that.

On FB Marketplace in Chicago: the sign from the Thirsty Whale in River Grove. Coupla notes:
- before Whale, it was a restaurant where my aunt waited tables & Tony Accardo tipped her $100
- a band of HS acquaintances played there then got a C&D letter from a popular metal band for name appropriation

Thanks! I wasn’t worried about deactivation, but I hadn’t found a compelling reason to switch besides people thinking I ought to.

Is that true for regular email accounts too? I’m old, but really have found no reason to change. Their spam filter almost never lets anything in, and I figure no one will bother trying to hack AOL accounts ever.

There is not one good thing in this country that he hasn’t tried to obliterate. This is horrible news.

Also want to tell mention your DJs were on fire this week. Beatnik did a set of 3 acoustic guitar greats, Alex G played a trio of Mangione adjacent songs, and Nicole played 3 dance bangers this morning with Jamie XX in the middle. So grateful for y’all!

It was cool to see people dancing to the music of hometown band Horsegirl in the Jay Pritzker Pavilion.

Time is a tricky thing, ha. I believe he came back from college in the mid 90s. Let’s hope that he has a nice long run with the Reader in the future.
