right on bro!

Spent a long weekend in Chicago at the Touch & Go 25th Anniversary show. Despite it being cloudy and rainy (the third day) at an outdoor music festival, I had a really good time. I got to see a few bands I listened to over the years and check out a bunch of new (well, old) ones as well. It’s been ages since I’ve been to a show where the bands just solidly rock you and the music readjusts your outlook on life.

The weekend was also boosted by food. Thanks to two gracious hosts, we got a sampling of Chicago at its finest - pizza, barbecue, and Italian beef sandwiches. I’d never even heard of Italian beef sandwiches but they absolutely rule the planet. It’s too bad I forgot to take pictures during the entire time.

Now for a bit of a downer. I’ve come back to LA to the realization that the company I’ve been working on for the past five months is about to totally disintegrate. There isn’t much to do about it other than let it happen and try to salvage the ton of effort I’ve put into it and leverage it into whatever’s next. I’m not really angry about it, just more highly disappointed, as I felt really good about the idea and tried my best to keep things going. But well, quite frankly, things went to shit, and the the best thing to do is just to try to find something new to do. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, so we’ll see.
