Julie's Michigan Video

Some memories from past trips to Kate's lake house. Nice work Julie.

Sleeping Bear Bag

Someone buy this for me.


Sorry for the posting lull. I'm back on the ball this weekend.

"Quotes" and "Pets"

Kate told me about a photo-blog called Pets Who Want To Kill Themselves. I'd say these two photos sum the general content. Pretty hilarious.





Steve turned me on to The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks. The title is fairly explanatory.




Enjoy.

Want A Puppy?

My friend Lindsay knows someone who found some black labs and is giving them away.




Friend of a friend says,

A friend of mine rescued 6 black lab (mix) puppies out of the middle of the road on Saturday. They have been bathed, sprayed for fleas and wormed. They are currently in a kennel at my friend's home. He has contacted countless rescue groups only to be turned down due to no room.

Email me if you want to get in touch.

UPDATE: It's a an extremely old chain email from September 2007! They've been adopted.

Bosco!

I saw this piece on NBC5 Chicago news. It's everything that's great about local news.
2 dogs, missing, town comes together to save them, little girl saying "Bye Bosco!" at the end. It's absurd yet totally cute. So great. People kill each other many times a day here, but this story is much fuzzier than those.

Watch it here.

Camera Wrap-Up (6.1-6.7)

I know I've had lots of photos lately, but I do lots of stuff and like documenting some of it and there are plenty more to come. So get used to it because this is my damn blog.


Chris & Michelle after Owen's birthday party in Lincoln Park... Chi-CITY!



The three of us checked out the zoo next. I learned that the reason zebras have stripes is that when they group themselves together, the predator has a harder time singling one out.


This Chimp is named Optimus Prime.




Pat holding a picture of Neph at the Do Division street fest. Polariod has officially discontinued production of this film.


A good streetfest lineup is made even better when you can buy beer at the nearby liquor store and pour it in your cup for the rest of the day. Here's Gil Mantera's Party Dream. It was an extremely bizarre and fun set.


Then they started stripping... In spite of that (because of that?) the show was fun as hell and I recommend it. No full nudity fortunately and hilarious banter.


With my first street fest, summer is officially here.




Kristen and Seamus at Pizza Metro.


On Saturday Nick and Erin and I went to the Chalk Fest in Oz Park.


The Jesse White Tumblers were there. Pretty awesome stuff.




They only tumble to 90's party jams.
