ust a photo I snapped today with my phone while passing a construction site that used to house my favorite abandoned buildings in Evanston (yep, they’re all gone now). I really liked the colors spray painted on the sidewalk by various utility companies, especially the combination of this hot pink and yellow.

incoln Johns set from Saturday night at Deagan Music. Jeb Bishop (of Jeb Bishop Trio) played trombone, adding another element to the already beautifully dissonant sounds that make up Lincoln Johns’ music. Artist Rachael McHan did visuals for the show.

ow that I’ve been reading an amazing book about pigeons (called Pigeons: The Fascinating Saga of the World’s Most Revered and Reviled Bird by Andrew D. Blechman) I’ve got birds on the brain. This book is a really amazing insight into these birds that have been both beloved companions and called “rats of the sky”. I have a pair tattooed on my chest, so you know what side of the debate I stand on.
