Chicago is much too violent he says.

So yeah, if anyone needs a place to live she's gonna need a roommate and if anyone needs a girlfriend I'm sure she'll be in the market for that shortly, if not immediately as well.

wtf . . . now I feel bad for talking about that shit when we were having dinner. what convinced him that it's too violent here?

I have no clue, I know he was there when my wife had the fight with the gangbangers at the Wicker Park fest.
He seemed ok but I never really talked to the dude too much, it was always with the chicks there and it takes awhile for me to warm up to just some dude all of sudden in the picture sometimes. D-Zone drunkenly talked shit to him one night, maybe that had an effect.
But yeah, he's out of here. The great Chicago experiment was a bust.

They were up in Roger's Park, I think.

Fly, you ought to open a resale store for bassists or something.

You can call it Second Bass but you have to give me something awesome in return for the name. Like, a bass. Maybe two.

after plugging it in, i've decided to keep it. it's just too awesome.

the baritone/bass vi is still going though.

I have no recollection of what we talked about, but I didn't think I said anything too horrible to them.

You called him a pretty boy and threatened to kick his ass when he said Radiohead was the best band in the history of rock music

I can't tell if you're serious or just taking the piss here.

You don't remember? You started choking him at one point, I had to hit you with a fireplace poker to get you off him. You were like a mad dog. You bit a good sized chunk of his ear off.
