This evening, Anna and I are heading north to the city of festivals, which was the setting of Happy Days, and is home to one of the best sport traditions, the sausage race. We’re visiting my family that live in the Enderis Park neighborhood of Milwaukee. We’re planning on going to the Milwaukee Art Museum for the feature exhibition, Andy Warhol: The Last Decade, exploring the Bay View neighborhood, and hitting up The Comet Cafe for brunch. Mr. William Elliott Whitmore is playing the Bay View Brew Haus tonight too, so maybe we’ll hit that up as well.
Someone got link-happy, haha. Can’t wait!
Guy Picciotto playing with Vic Chesnutt tonight at Lincoln Hall. I love this man. Vic Chesnutt was amazing too. Such a talented performer and a super genuine guy.
Big ups to Hideki Matsui for becoming the first Japanese born and first full-time designated hitter to earn the MVP of the World Series.
Margie’s Candies
1960 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL
Neighborhood: Bucktown
Margie’s Candies has been serving ice cream and candies since 1921, making it a Chicago landmark. I have passed by Margie’s Candies so many times and never stopped in, so tonight during the 5th inning of game six of the World Series, Anna and I decided to take quick break from the ball game and head over to the legendary ice cream shop for sundaes. Anna ordered a hot fudge sundae, while I had the hot butterscotch sundae. The sundaes were huge, relatively cheap ($4 each), and fantastic.
Quick Fun Fact: The Beatles went to Margie’s Candies in 1965 after their concert at Comiskey Park!

I am SO full right now. Margie’s: 1, Anna: 0. So good.
Swine Flu costume was a success! I probably heard “Hey, swine flu! Nice!” about one hundred times last night from strangers.
