what a really really fun day, which we ended with free drinks in the show’s little bistro…..and then hopped the train to wicker park/bucktown where we had the very bestest of tacos, beer, and margarita’s at Big Star, a taqueria located inside a converted service station, where they play only country music…and the real deal at that.

now off to go see crazy heart…get a coupla hours of sleep, and then take off for ann arbor in the morning.

thanks monique…what a fun few days in chi-town with you!
