Captain Chicago

Burlington has a certain blandness. For example, every young person seems to be either a frat boy from UVM or a hippy. So, I was glad to be walking the streets of Chicago this weekend checking out the cute indie kids and admiring their stripey clothes. The coolest kids always have the highest Stripes Per Unit Inch ("SPUI").

It was disorienting to arrive suddenly in such a big city, particularly as I was recovering from a head cold and we immediately began drinking steadily. Ray's idea of watching Battle Royale at 2.:30 in the morning didn't help with that either.
