Ha, I do want questions about all kinds of things. I may have listened to it, if it's the DVD version from 5 years ago? I spent days running around Chicago trying to find a copy of the movie, as a gift for the guy I was dating at the time. (I might have found it at Tower, which was still around then.) Anyway, I need to get my own copy.
One of the greatest things I've ever seen was a Spanish-language channel in Chicago showing a dubbed version of the movie in the middle of the night; I watched it with someone and that was hilarious. -
Kind of an obvious question, but I was hoping someone would ask. I told a lot of the story on Hockeenight's Puckcast of 3/1/10, but another version: A Flickr friend visiting from Boston took me to see Flames @ Blackhawks in Jan. 09. The only sports I'd seen as an adult were baseball games, so I thought this would at least be a new experience and chance to take photos. It was a great one, 5-2 Hawks win (& 4 fights in the game) and I had fun, but I didn't know anyone else going to games and it didn't occur to me to try to go to a game on my own...until Oct. 2009. And then I was hooked.
In the time since then I've learned a tremendous amount about the sport past and present. I've been to NHL arenas in 5 cities (besides Chicago), AHL games in 3 cities, and an ECHL game. Obviously my main thing is the NHL and Blackhawks, but I'd like to see all kinds of hockey--I haven't been to a college game, women's game, or junior hockey game yet. -
is pimping easy produces 6,360,000 results on Google. Page 2 shows that Wil Wheaton wore a pimp costume on Halloween 2006. Huh. ...I'll say the answer is no.

I haven't kept up with them in a while but went to the talk at the Chicago Architecture Foundation last week. I was disappointed they didn't present a "7 Most Endangered" list for 2010 but otherwise it was a good talk. I don't know enough about the inner workings of the group to judge them. A group like that can only do so much--the situation probably hasn't changed a lot since I blogged about them on City of Destiny 2 years ago. I'd like preservation groups to make better use of social media--why isn't there a Twitter account announcing demolition permits, vacant buildings, current demolition, etc.?

I'm someone who doesn't like to try to come up with even a top 5 or 10 "favorites" list, but I'll give you one for each that I can return to again and again (and I've probably quoted from all 3): "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," Ellen Willis' essay collection "No More Nice Girls," and Belle and Sebastian's "If You're Feeling Sinister." (I know, the last one didn't say album, did it?)

Aw, I try to be a connoisseur and try all different kinds at bars, and check out a brewpub or two in every city I visit, but then I'm kind of a wuss about strong/strongly flavored beers, and if I don't know what to order I'll just get a Blue Moon to be on the safe side.
Favorite place I've ever drank beer would be an even better question... :) -
All right, people, don't make me change this to the setting where I have to block you or however this works...

Huh...this could be a spam-type follower or someone randomly searching formspring, couldn't it? But if it's a real follower/fan or something, well, *that's* intriguing. Can't say I've had much of a social life this hockey season...
-
Oops, I tweet about that too much. Yeah, some of my apartment is very cluttered. If I start selling books (which I'd like to) and other stuff, I could think of it as a warehouse, I guess.
-
I meant to say "ask me anything except job/money stuff"...but I know people wonder. Need a job now...just sort of getting by.
-
Uh, this is an "inbox" question to get me started. Closest bar I've been to is Streetside in Logan Square. But Whirlaway is the closest bar I've been to multiple times.
