this week's hit parade.


8. the old woman i met at the anti-war rally. spookily, she was a fellow traveller from from fairway, kansas, hotbed of radicalism. she lives here now, came in from the south suburbs because she felt so strongly, even though she conceded (rightly) our naivete at being there. (the rally itself kind of sucked but that's another story.) anyway, in contrast to all the tired and shrill slogans that surrounded us, she sported a button that simply read: "peace takes courage." i like that.

7. the new portastatic album, and i haven't even heard it yet. i'm just that stoked. (related: this. and this.)

6. seeing talented kansas buddies ad astra per aspera featured in pitchfork.

5. this video. it's fun to watch, and appears to feature a fair amount of lollapalooza footage.

4. the snow. not freezing rain, but legitimate, beautiful flakes of snow. even though it arrived way too early.

3. my fairly decent performance in the bucktown 5k, which officially solidifies my status as a Wicker Park Yuppie.

2. my upcoming interview with polsinelli, shalton, welte, suelthaus, p.c.

-8000. giving my shitty "closing argument" in a half hour.

1. getting to see swearing at motorists afterward.
