Feb 11, 2012. Dice tends bar and stores a tip at Ultra Lounge. This was a night of fun photos. It began with a Rotten Finko & the Convicts show at Ultra Lounge and continued after a couple more bands rolling around town with various members of the Convicts at different venues around Chicago. It was actually all the band members, but not always all in the same place at the same time. I'm actually looking forward to editing those photos.

Day 161 -Take Home Tamales!
Feb 8, 2012. I first saw this cart yesterday on my way to Liz's Pet Shop. Nobody was selling tamales from it then or tonight, so I don't know if it actually is an active foodcart. Even from the corner of my eye while driving a car, however, the art by don't fret grabbed my attention. Today I came back on my bicycle, which is how I get around 98% of the time, including winter, so that I could get a photo of it. It was still there, so now you can see it too.

Day 160 - A Couple of Guys
Feb 7, 2012. Here I am attempting to take a picture with Malicous, who clearly won't look at the camera even when it's not in front of my face. You may notice we're both rocking a skull motif and facial hair, because we're cool like that.
Day 159 - Dinner On The Way
Feb 6, 2012. I meant to make a photo to commemorate Bob Marley's birthday, but instead I made spaghetti and photos of spaghetti. This is a pan of Field Roast (vegetarian) sausages that have been cooked and sliced and are now getting browned a bit more on what had been the inside. They are about to go into a sauce I made with chopped tomatoes (from a carton), onion, garlic, carrot, balsamic vinegar, and some herbs and spices.
Day 158 - Jai Alai Working It Out
Feb 5, 2012. This is the first practice for my newest band, which it seems will be called Jai Alai. This was also my first time meeting Gary, who's playing guitar. It went quite well, and I expect we'll be in good shape by the time we play our first show on March 1. Yeah, that's soon, but the Bricks actually did it the same way back in 2003. JJ called me one day and said "we have a gig in three weeks, and I have another guitar player, and we might have a bass player." We learned some songs, wrote some others, and carried on until I moved to Chicago five years later.
