Those looking for the vegetable-based funk should head down and see Rea Frey and Dawn Jackson Blatner are the Chicago Lit Fest. Frey has been spreading the word about the perks of a vegan based lifestyle; she has a blog, a website, and a documentary – “Vegucated” -, and generally promotes a Power Vegan lifestyle. Her blog will teach you how to craft a rad vegan sandwich (avocados prominent), when not to bounce your baby (immediately following feeding), and will make the word vegan cool again (perhaps “veg-cellent” could catch on?) You may have noticed the Cubs don’t have the best record, but have you noticed their great complexion and defined glutes (looking at you Anthony Rizzo)? It’s safe to say their team dietician should be thanked, and you’ll get the chance to do so in person when Dawn Jackson Blatner is at the Lit Fest. Blatner promotes a flexitarian lifestyle; which is not about stretching your hamstrings, but your diet. She focuses on pragmatic alterations, as opposed to dramatic upheavals, in order to improve one’s diet. Not to mention that Monica Eng will be there. She is always revealing the hard truths (CPS cafeteria food want for nutrients), and happy moments (legal momentum for food trucks), in the Chicago food scene. In addition to all that her voice is more pleasant than a kale salad on a hot day, something these authors know a thing or two about. The event runs from 10:00 – 10:45 on Saturday, June 8th. So head down if you want to chew on some new ideas about what you should chew on. Rea Frey’s Website Dawn Jackson Blatner’s Internet Abode Monica Eng’s Website

He doesn't think negative definitions are terrible. He has never been to Vermont. He is not afraid of spiders. He isn't a Dr (don't trust him with needles). He isn't 8 feet tall (or 8 feet wide, or 8 feet across, but he does think 8 Feet Jones makes a good name for a Blues Musician - he isn't claiming copyright on that name so please don't hesitate to borrow it for you next show). He isn't a freemason (and if he was(n't) he could(n't) tell you about it). His favorite color isn't green (no hard feelings).

The Hot Girl Game is Best Played with Women You Trust. (A Bad Feminist Story.)
“Dan, do you want to play the hot girl game?”
Valarie is one of my oldest Chicago friends and she is coy with sly winks, and surprise happy shouts you come to expect. This mirth is tempered by the…
Reasons I Don’t Use the Word Feminist Out Loud
Growing up an early Millennial all my female friends would say, “I’m not a feminist.”
This would follow a string of feminist beliefs they did hold. And I’d say, “Yeah. I’m for all that.” And they’d explain, they didn’t like the…
Today's the last day of my Easter holiday and I'm going to make it a build day.
After probably 25 years of thinking about it, I'm going to finally build myself a website.
Will update this thread as I go.
I am addicted to rock climbing and I hate every minute of it.
For years, I’d poo-pooed rock climbing.
Why wouldn’t I go running instead?
Now that I’ve tried it… I know… running would be way healthier and more efficient. (Swimmers are giving me the, “If you really want a…
