Last night's show at 3030 Cortland turned out really cool. It's an odd feeling drinking beer while seated in a pew. The venue used to be a Pentecostal church and now serves as a performance space. I had doubts about walking through the front doors and held my breath as I entered God's former house. I'm still here; I didn't burst into flames. There's something to be said about a completely quiet audience, seated and content with their surroundings. I felt like I should've produced a monologue, but luckily the songs proved to be enough.

In my recent moves towards becoming completely portable I ordered an ibook. I currently have an emac, which I love, it's just that shipping a 50 pound computer overseas is pretty risky and expensive. So luckily, I've found a good home for ms. emac and was able to crunch some numbers and justify the new computer. Would you believe that FedEx shipped the thing and it arrived two days ahead of schedule? Their computers ship from China (which is odd, I didn't know Apple farmed out internationally). Yesterday it was in Anchorage, Alaska and this morning on a truck in Chicago. I'll have to wait until tonight and go pick her up at the distribution warehouse. Now, AJ and I can't explain why, but tracking a package online fucking rules. It's either the technology of it all or the hilarious fact that you can sit at home knowing your valuable box of goods has been held up for the past 3 days at their hub in Hodgkins.

Illinois towns that are funny: Hodgkins, Skokie, Itasca, Sauk Trail. This list just goes on.
