So, on Friday the 2nd of April 2010 I came in to the Chi (pronounced "shy", not Chee or Chai, which is pronounced Ch-eye, not K-eye) to hang with soem bros and deliver soem 350 buttons for Metal Cakes.
I met Gordon & his daughter over at Delicious Cafe for tea (Yerba maté) and a S'mores muffin before leaving to go skate Wilson. The wind was pretty windy, but a lot of the people didn't seem to mindy.
After shredding for a few hours and painting a kitty cat & and alien abduction scene on Gordon's daughter's board, I had to go back to Delicious Cafe to meet up with Kathy from Metal Cakes to delivery said buttons. All went well and I had scone to go, and a coconut fizz. If you added 2 shots of Parrot Bay in that drink it would've been boss.
Then, I left to meet with the owner of Wellborn Clothing about soem new buttons, and just business in general, over some tofu Pad Thai & Pad Se Eu at Penny's in Wicked Park.
This was a landmark dei, the temperature, attittude and mai largest button order to date all set the stage for the night.
Everyone was about, we rolled the scene grabbing a few coffees and running into old heads along the way.
Paul, Rasa, Alison, Anna, Kelli. They were basking in the nightlife with a glow brighter than the amber luminescence of the urban tiki torches that line the streets. (streetlights?)
Upon further investigation of the Flat Iron friday art walk, we walked the maze of brush strokes, smiles, sculptures, resin and moar friendly faces. Marfa ran into his screen printer who, it turns out, has his studio set up in the old funeral home I once called home for 2 years. Small world.
As with all things, unfortunately the good too, they must come to an end. Settling our ambition for another night, for there are plenty to come, when we'll encroach the burgeoning scene once moar with the saem good vibes and warm hearts that were set in motion on that night.
I love Chicago.
As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Sophisticated HIgh" by DJ Ellis Dee from the album "Sophisticated High" released in, I'm guessing, 1995-96 due to the track listing. Which has tracks from "Oceanic" by Cosmosis, "Cosmic Courier" by Mindfield, "Ganesh" by Sheyba, and "Sleepless" by Razor's Edge.
The Mindfield track being the youngest, I'm gunna say 1996. (sitation needed)
Ooh Ooh Ooh, "Future Space Travellers" by Prana & Athena just came on in the mix!!!
