Bon Voyou

At the opening night of Fuerza Bruta I was there. Luckily I knew what I was getting myself into because earlier that day I was at the press conference and got a peek at the show. If you’re not as lucky as I am then I suggest you keep reading.
First, I’d like to recommend that [...]

More than Just a Chicago Food Tour

IMG_1698

That’s exactly it. When I attended the Chicago Food Planet Food Tours, Bucktown and Wicker Park food tour I didn’t think I would get anything besides a “food tour”. Just few samples here and there and I’ll be on my way home to eat dinner because of the small quantities of food I’ve been fed. [...]

Chicago weather teaches you to be hopeful. Last month I wanted to celebrate spring before it even arrived and therefore created #preSpringTweetUp at @MurasakiChicago. It was a blast!

IMG_1453

Yesterday, I’ve discovered something about myself. I was at the Chicago Cultural Center, showing a friend around, looking at artsy stuff and talking about it. Yes, I realized that I can express my thoughts about art with words. That’s pretty much the best high I have felt in a long time. Do you know what [...]

Not at SXSW Tweetup

@CalebGardner

If you’re a Twitter addict, like me, then I’m sure you’ve noticed the many many many #sxsw tweets. Some of us stare and wish we were there. Others, like @CalebGardner and @RebeccaDenison decide to take matters into their own hands and host a #NotAtSXSW tweetup.  It was a !!BRILLIANT!! idea. What’s even better is that [...]

Bob Brunch Sunday

WILDFIRE!

This morning, I woke up to the sound of my neighbors, looked at the clock and it said 8:00 AM. I thought to myself “why does it feel like I’ve slept a lot less”. I made my way to the bathroom and saw that my other clock says 7:00 AM…”oh yes! It’s DST!” was murmured [...]
