OTAH and the Art Institute of Chicago

The museum ran a project called Red Cube. They left 500 random plastic red cubes with their logo around Chicago, and urged people who were either given one or found one to come up with some graphic use of the cube and send back. OTAH got Cube #188....here .

...There wasn't much action it seemed today on Wells Street, other than it is pretty clear that Walgreen's has pissed off a lot of its customers by replacing cashiers with these scanning machines that can't add. Talking 'bout the one at Wells and North Avenue. We (customers) know faces of our friendly cashiers are missing. Walgreen's must tell its employees to lie about this! Where's the tall, thinning- grey haired friendly guy?

By the Way, here is the Byran Holloway Somethin' ...what a great trio!! They were at Angelo's in Old Town, 7th November 2009...more to come :)

Sick of snow. Sick of this weather. Maybe i'm just getting old, but the winters seem more enduring. What happened with Al Gore's Global Warming??!!
Can't wait to walk in Memphis :)
Ciao, baby!!

Have been playing and hearing a lot of blues lately. The Old Town Ale House recently had their winter talent show, and there was a lot of good blues that night.

One of the great things about the OTAH talent shows is their habit of getting better. This past one was by all accounts the best yet.
Otherwise, things are painfully slow along Wells Street. Maybe it picks up in the Spring.
...am looking forward to making a trip which would never have thought of before, except that am a devote (hopeless) fan of Bonnie Raitt, so am going to Memphis TN. Will also check out Graceland. Actually, this is an opportunity to do something seldom done; have some fun. Hear the food is great.
This isn't much of a post now, but it's late and the lights are fading!
