Can we have Marcy Kaptur for president?

"Let's play wall street bailout!"

She's like the Judge Judy of Capitol Hill!

I'm a writer, not a cigarette lighter.

Apart from making friends with dangerous bikers and drinking sparks, I've been writing stuff about beer for the Chicago Reader!


My report from the Louis Glunz/Hot Chocolate Beer dinner on the Chicago Reader Food Chain Blog.

Also a new column about Piece with a picture of Jamal drinking Beer with Sam's lipstick all over his mouth.

C&S Pub is the best

A scene from one of my favorite bars.

I hate myself for loving you

Joan Jett= on my short list of women I would dyke out for.

What's stuck in my head.

I admit it, I kind of like youtube blog spam because sometimes it gets me to listen to stuff I'd never have heard about or discovered otherwise. Not that any of this is obscure, it just reflects my present mood pretty well.


I danced to this at Neo last night.


I'd kill a dragon for you.


I'm going to redecorate my apartment based on this video. I was kind of flattered that my mom thinks I look like Amanda Palmer though I ain't buying it.

Hang out with me at Renegade Craft Fair this weekend!

Hey kiddos,
The extremely awesome RENEGADE CRAFT FAIR is happening this weekend on Division St, between Damen and Hermitage. It is totally free and totally AWESOME. Last year was a blast and this year cool bands like Califone and Hey Willpower will be playing in the evening.

I will be running David Murray's awesome SEIBEI teeshirt booth all weekend long with the lovely Vally Val, and David himself will be in town Sunday! If you do not know Seibei, it's the teeshirt line behind the fabulous SANDWICH DINOSAUR shirts seen all over Chicago! He's got lots of new designs and some sweet assed dinosaur necklaces, so be sure to check that shit out! (and give me a hug and bring me some coffee, probably).

SEE YOU THERE!

The Ellie Maybe/Sarah Palin love story continues.

Someone make Ellie Maybe famous, because she's a helluva lot cooler than Lindsay Lohan.

Slutmachine is going into retirement

Wow.

I kinda feel the way about Tracie Egan getting married the way I feel about David Bowie renouncing bisexuality- I get it 100%, in the context of leading a normal life (having myself recently renounced bisexuality though deep down inside I probably still like chicks), and not wanting to be known as "Slutmachine" for the rest of one's life, but it's pretty shocking. As a writer and a public figure there's a desire to present oneself in a way that is honest and entertaining but it can also haunt you.

It's just odd that it came about at the same point in my life where I really kinda want to settle down or just not date (at least for now). But I'm fickle so who the hell knows.

(The funniest thing is I took a picture of myself flipping off the camera with the fake wedding ring Sam gave me to other day but never posted it...odd synchronicity).

Yes, that is me in the background. I really love Eli.

This almost makes me wish I still lived in SF

And it really makes me wish I were a gay man!
