Hiya, friends!
I apologize for my lack of posts lately. Life has been extremely kind to me as of recent, and I've been too busy enjoying the moment to focus on anything other than work and play. This blog falls somewhere in between. I have seen a ton of great street art lately, but it has all been in passing, while driving through the city or riding public transportation. I plan on spending some time this week visiting the gems I've spotted and taking photos for the blog to share with all of you lovely people.
These wheatpaste murals are located on Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. I went out last night to celebrate my friend Johannes' birthday at Lilie's Q on North Avenue. I had already eaten dinner at a work event, but I did try a few bites of my friends' food- fried pickles, sweet potatoes, cornbread, and brisket. Delicious! I washed it down with an American Muscle New World Double IPA, which has a whopping 12.5% alcohol content. Me likey. Sarah made a cake for Yo with purple and green icing, so all of our teeth had a strange purplish tinge to them afterwards, but it was worth it. Birthdays are a great excuse to do my favorite things- eat and laugh with friends.
Afterwards, we stopped by Emporium Arcade for some drinks and video games. I had never been, and I wasn't able to stay for long due to work obligations, but what combination could be better than Mortal Kombat and strong drink?! It brought me back to my high school days, getting out of school early and being up to no good at my friend Adam's house, playing N64 with our cronies... FINISH HIM!!!
Anyway, happy Saturday to all of you! I have a great weekend planned, which I am determined to enjoy, despite the cold weather putting a bit of a damper on it. I'm not ready for winter! I grudgingly pulled on a hat and mittens when I left the house this morning... remind me again why I opted not to take that job offer in San Diego?
