soooooooooooper!

we wish you could be here too! someday when you get a chance, i will give you a kick ass tour of chitown. :)

oh man

me too...

ok. you too :)

now wouldn't that be fun?

Wish you could join us, Dancing Dan! (Yes, I saw your smooth moves on Cocteau's NY video.) You'd really class up this fleabag town!

smooth drunk-ass moves!! HA! have a great time - and get some footage!!

Smooth drunk-ass moves indeed, haha.

thanks aa! i'm sure there will be plenty of video footage :)

schweet!

Kevin, be there or be L7!

(square!)

dont' be an L7. more importantly don't be L8.

that's the plan ;-)

sure! can you pack me a lunch too? ;-)

PB&J with no crust, as usual?

w/ a little fluffernutter too, please!

i'm excited for you cam!!!!!!!!! bring this news to them ok?

Will do. See you this weekend.

yeah. i think calling it the bean is disrespectful to the artist. it's such a gorgeous piece.

Wow, you're cool!

I'm not really cool. It's all a front ;-)

Anish Kapoor is the artist. My former employer, U.S. Equities Realty, was the project management firm for the design and construction of Millenium Park and Cloudgate. I'll have to go dig up some really cool photos I have taken INSIDE the Bean when it was being constructed. It's really cool!

There you go! Not just the bean anymore. Let's see those photos of Chicago's newest and most loved object.

would love to see those photos!

I have them on my computer somewhere. I have to search for them.

i had one of these reawakenings recently. it's so refreshing! :-)

can't wait to meet you J-Chap!

J-Chap!

Double YES!

You're coming to Chicago? That's part of your job, right?!

I agree. Blake really needs to see the windy city.

For sure.

Blaaaaake!!! Come to the Wendy City (er, the Windy City!)

we will dance and sing in your mind. stay tuned!

You can bet on it :)

bummer! i thought you would be here for this portion of the trip. :-(

Wish you were in the area... but we know you can't stay away for long!

Let's get crazy and do both! Picnic and games. Wooot!

I'm not sure wat kind of games though. I'm down for anything. Even twister! Ooooh... Twister. Buaa!

Ultimate Frisbee! And we can make videos of all the tourists! It's gonna be crazy crowded in Millenium Park this weekend; I think Taste of Chicago's still going on.

Dudes, ah, I'm getting excited! If you guys are up for it, I could lead us in a 15-minute session of laughter yoga. I became a Certified Laughter Yoga Instructor a couple months ago. It's awesome and healthy and makes-ya-feel-great, and could be so fun to videotape and share.

what does y'alls thinks?

laughteryoga.org

I am all for it, and Victoria agrees. Why not, eh?

Wow! Hahaha. I checked out the website. Contagious! It looks like we have a few laughter clubs up there in your neighborhood. It fits you!

laughter yoga sounds gggggrrrrrrrrreat! let's do it!

How about we do a picnic AND games!!!!!!!

i'll pin my arse on the bean.

true, but the taste is too crowded, too expensive and the food kinda sucks. don't you think?

It'll definitely be one of the busiest weekends of the year down there. Perfect weather too. I might see what's cooking at the taste, I've normallly avoided going down, but what the heck.

I'm taking public, but that's normal.

wheeeeeeee!

i'll be taking the 10:20AM BNSF down. if you're on the same train, look for me on the upper deck of the second or third car. Woot!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

what's the address of your place, ben?

Helix Camera - 310 S Racine Ave - it's at the corner of Jackson & Racine - one block north of the blue line Racine stop.

Just as Peika how to get here. I met him here a couple years ago, before the Vimeo days.

don't stop git it git it!
