Sausage Fest 2011 with special guest Abe Froman (Sausage King of Chicago). Many different breeds of sausage on the menu. I tried rabbit, pheasant, python and my favorite american hot dog. Good times eating, meeting new people, and listening to live music in the burbs of Chicago
Showed up to Daley Plaza to snap a shot of Picasso. Just so happened to get there at the exact same time as a Critical Mass meet up. Lots of bikes, lots of crazy outfits, lots of dogs in baskets. The best part was after I left here I hopped on a train half way across town and when I came out of the station all the same people were riding by. I recognized lots of them.
The infamous “bean” also called “Cloud Gate”. It took me a while to notice the city skyline reflected in the mirror. It was a popular spot for tourists, luckily I wasn’t one of them. I was just passing by.
Visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Not much good art there. Just a lot of weird stuff. Memorable exhibits: video of people submerged in mud blowing air through long plastic garden hose-like tubes that were attached to flutes, videos of a husband and wife performance art duo that pretty much just rolled around like they were dying or in extreme pain on strange stages, lots of “dirty” art. I liked the fish at the bottom of the stairs best, but wished there was a 25 cent food dispenser so we could feed the fish.
