I'm heading out to Illinois later this week for ten-fourteen days with friends and family. Lisa will fly out for a week since half her team is based in Chicago. I plan to head to beautiful downtown Denham, IN for a couple of days at the family farm, followed by a week in and around Chicago. Frisket will be making the trip, but as mentioned at her site, she has kennel cough so she might not be able to hook up with her friends in the greater Sycamore and Hoffman Estates areas.

Lisa and I had dinner at Sushi Samba 7 tonight. I had the pastel and several orders of seviche and tiraditos. Lisa managed to have some of my tiraditos as well as several delicious rolls. We followed dinner with an amble up Bleecker to 8^th avenue. Bleecker is changing rapidly, seeing Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs stores was quite surprising.

I need to find a new music playlist service, audioscrobbler has gone AWOL, and I know everyone is just dying to know what I'm listening to (it's currently The Power of Rebolution Can't Fail from London Booted for the dreadfully curious).
