i haven’t been back to chicago for almost 4 years now… *sigh… and jami has never been. some of you know but for the others, i consider chicago my third home (so cal being my second) and i am very excited to be going back. 

jami and i are going out there for two weeks (july 2nd through the 15th) and we’re staying at the hard rock hotel right in the midst of downtown. we’re going to ‘the taste‘ and the navy pier for the 4th. we’re hitting all the museums and i think we’re going to a few concerts (wolf parade & feist). i’m also taking her to this quaint little town called long grove. they have a rad ‘main street’ downtown. 

i’ll also be taking a lot lot lot of pictures and will post as i can!

here’s a great track from one of my favorite local chicago bands,
the sea and cake
