wednesday

sitting here on friday, trying to recall wednesday. this is part of why i started this blog anyway. i have no idea where the days go, sometimes.

by noon i was at my desk, working.

i worked on the metropolis coffee drawing a bit, and did a shirt for andrew.

later, though, i went down to WTTW, arriving a little after 6pm. i met up with isaac and lisa, the two other "40 under 40" folks to be featured on "chicago tonight". the interview was brief, and i think i probably sounded pretty dumb, live. "well i, uh.... ha..."

from there, i ran over to southport to meet up with di, mat &sue, and nadine & nick. after waiting about an hour for a table, we ate at tango sur. i have GREAT chilean salmon in penne. ooof. time was short, so we hoofed it down the block to the music box theater just as bill plympton was being introduced, in turn introducing his film-in-progress, "angels and idiots".

really enjoyed the film, especially as it was not completely colored yet, with bits of the story only roughed in, and others which were totally finished. the plot was good, but i was tired about 3/4 of the way through and kept losing track of the film as my eyes closed.

when the film ended, i got a postcard signed by mr. plympton in the lobby.

long goodnights with the gang, then walked di to her car and drove home in mine.

bed, sleep.
