Feb 26, 2012. As a reward for unclogging some drains in the house, Shereen took me to Kuma's Corner for dinner. They have incredible burgers. I don't eat meat, so I've had them with a veggie patty, and I maintain that they're the best. If you're intolerant of loud metal music, it's not the place for you, but it might be worthwhile for you to give it a shot anyway. Tonight I had the Neurosis, but I'm thinking next time is going to be the Absu. Tony Kisner, I understand if you had a bad experience at Kuma's on your last visit, but I have to disagree with your dethroning of Kuma's after several meals at your new favorite. The other place is very good too, and actually appears in my 365 entry for December 31.

Day 178 - Holiday
Feb 25, 2012. At the invitation of my friend Keiko, I went to see Chicago's Blind Staggers and S.S. Web, from Milwaukee, at Ultra Lounge. This is Brian, who plays bass for S.S. Web. He's equally animated on stage, and you should check out both bands.
Day 177 - Biking Betsy Ross
Feb 24, 2012. The Bike Winter Art Show opened, and the turnout was pretty fantastic. This is Elise, who made the flag behind her. If you'd like to see the fabulous art in the show, it's running through March 9 at Gala Gallery, 1000 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago. March 9 there will be another party at the gallery with a bike fashion show.
Day 176 - Rainy Day Robbie
Feb 23, 2012. I had lunch with my friend and former coworker Roberto on Thursday. This is a quick shot I took as he turned for the train station and I headed back to work. Roberto is a graphic designer whose work can be seen at ag1lab.com.

Day 175 - Gala Gallery
Feb 22, 2012. Today I dropped off a couple of prints to be hung in the 15th Annual Bike Winter Art Show. Opening night is Friday February 24, 2012 at 7:00 at Gala, 1000 N Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago. The art on the walls, soon to come down, is by Slang.
Day 174 - Fat Tuesday
Feb 21, 2012. I hoped to find some interesting Mardi Gras photos, but it seems all the partying took place in clubs. This was the largest outdoor gathering I found, and they were huddled together like penguins waiting to get in the club and out of the cold. Down on Division Street, there was a costumed stilt walker on the street, but the only revelers outdoors were smoking or entering clubs. Wrigleyville and Boystown were similarly quiet (outdoors). I guess I'll have to choose a party and go inside next year.

Day 173 - Driller
Feb 20, 2012. I shot a few frames of this guy preparing to put up a sign in Lincoln Park. I guess I made him a little agitated. He stopped and asked if there was a problem, and who I was working for.
