Rick's started their season Wednesday with a win. And a poor Cubs performance as witnessed by Therese and I on Tuesday. UM won Saturday (praise Jesus). Went with Peter (below pic credit) and his brother's crew to the first North Coast Music Fest (should be titled West Side Music Fest given it's location). Benny Benassi was so-so - I prefer any dj-type-set to have the artist doing something (anything) that makes it look like he didn't just pre-mix the SOB. Fun nonetheless. Lupe Fiasco was as good as he was at Lolla in 2008 (stack that cheese!), and NAS and Marley were an appropriate closer (you can hate me now). \nhttp://vafrous.com/860Sat, 28 Aug 2010 03:08:54GMT We did Greak Lake Pizza this week in Andersonville. Fresh and high quality ingredients (and expensive), it mostly lived up to the hype. Slightly overcooked, but better than the other way around I suppose. \nhttp://vafrous.com/859Wed, 25 Aug 2010 08:53:36GMT This was fun. \nhttp://vafrous.com/858Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:49:05GMT The DC Raptor Reunion was really the Pennsylvania RR. Seven of us stayed in Ramie's aunt's modernized 2br cottage. We grilled meats (beefs, chicken, chicken sausage, squid, scallops, and shrimps), threw back some tequila, and walked a few miles of the Appalachian Trail (wiki: "it is approximately 2,179 miles long"). Other recent summer happenings: Air and Water, trolleying, funerals and haircuts. The following is from Albert's mobile uploads. \nhttp://vafrous.com/857Tue, 10 Aug 2010 10:29:27GMT I took few photos at Lolla this year (in the best interests of my camera). Most important, though, is Peter's shot of Ari ["I will not crowd surf, that is where I draw the line"] Silver doing a little crowd surfing. During Chiddy Bang at Perry's. Pretty decent, not great. My favorite song of his ended up being a free-style. Also: BBU (fun, local); J Cole (good); Caspa (awesome), Lady Gaga (not nearly as good as hyped); Gogol Bordello (very good); Edward Sharpe (decent); Green Day (best show); Didi Gutman (fun); Wolfmother (great); among others. White Sox game Thursday (v MIN). Air and Water show this weekend and Matt's going away party Saturday.
