It'll be high of 38 It will be sunny in a few hours and starting to get partly cloudy @ 3, so starting @ 1 or 2 would be good. Whatchu think, Fred?

Hey, anyone wanna be the subject for my photo project? I've got it sorta set up already. I'm taking my project into the darker side/ underground part of footbag so im using my basement which is still in the process of being remodeled. I need 48 shots of cool looking symp tricks, should only take a matter of minutes if i can get the lighting the way i want it. All i need is someone to come over and get sweaty

. I really hope someone's free this week. PM me.

I'll help, Fred.

You guys wanna kick with FtB tomorrow? or whenever this week when they're able. Possible tomorrow @ Millenium Park.

edit: shawn will be downtown tomorrow, so we should make this happen.

If you guys are still downtown when I get off work, I'll join you. But no guarantee on when I'll get off work. This week = from hell. Monday was a 15 hour day. And now I've gotta redo most of what I did on Monday. Wamp wamp.

we also want to see if zjeezy or HG would like to arrange a visit at that time too...

i dont know when midwesterns are... so could we work somthing out for late summer? maybe late july, or very early august?

we would only ask for some crash space, and perhaps a gathering or two for hacky.

we're thinking like 5 day trip. its still up in the air. we dont even know who wants to go.

so i guess drop us a line, pm, email, txt, or telegraph.

Today's session was really fun. Everyone was playing well! We had very many onlookers, and people camera-ing us. Reid took a picture with a famous sausage. As the big buildings cast shadows about us we had to move around to stay in the sun. The weather was quite good until the shade it, and then coldness ensued.

Fred and I were hungarian, and Nate was coming to meet us. We were downtown so we decided to knock out a stop on the pizza tour.... Pizano's! Yes, Pizano's. It's right across from Millennium Park. The food was ok. A little blandish. I rate the deep dish and thin a 3 out of 5.

We had to make sure to speak loudly enough for our waiter, The Chach (real name), to hear our order. Then remind him a few times. He had a knack for making what seemed a normal verbal exchange into awkwardness. We payed in credit, but tipped in cash on the table. He didn't know and came out bloodthirsty wondering if we thought he did us wrong. Oh, The Chach, don't find out where I live please.

No Josh and no Will today.

Oh, the Chach. His whole face was a furrowed brow, at least from the moustache up.

Pier session this weekend? I've got something going on Sunday night, though.

Pizano's
The deep dish was bland(toppings:mushroom, onion, and green peppers), i enjoyed the crunchy crust, but it got overwhelming after the first slice. It seemed like it was the same thickness as the thin but the crust was just higher. Thin was better, very aromatic, flavorful, but lacking a dash salt and a tang from the tomato sauce. The thin had garlic, sliced tomatoes, and basil on it. Tom mentioned that it was softer, but that was most likely caused by the platter it was served on. Deep dish was served in a pan right from the kitchen, thin was on a pan too, but there was cardboard between the pan and the pizza, allowing the dough to retain moisture.

Deep dish:2.5/5(after some consideration, the title was misleading it wasnt "deep")
Thin: 3.5/5
service:2.5
Ambiance: 3(Quite aesthetically pleasing, but very, very crowded, and overly noisy. They've got enough money judging by customers, EXPAND.)
Overall: 2.9/5 If in the area, i would go again, maybe get meat on the pizza and have the Chach "hook me up" with something extra.

LOL, The Chach? WTF?

Tennessee, sorry I missed you call. You are always welcomed to Chicago. We generally don't know when Midwest Regionals happens either. It's like an ambush predator, popping up when you least expect it. There is a big net tournament happening on June 13-15 here, just thought I'd mention it. Thanks for the heads up, though. We've got plenty of time to make sure everything is taken care of.

Freddy, nice video. Blurry reverse mirage!!!! sweet. I like your shred spot, and having to move things to recover bags.

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 23 Mar 2008 08:42

It's warm out. call/IM me if anyone wants to kick.

gMoney · Post by **gMoney** » 24 Mar 2008 18:46

hay guise!

I wanted to come out and kick with some of you guys this week. Saturday's the best for me, but it can be some other day (I've got the week off) if the weather's bad or if everyone's busy or something. My parents are totally down with it, but it has to be in a "busy/crowded area" (they've been watching To Catch a Predator too much or something

) So yeah, discuss, then somebody pm me or something about the rest. L8erz.
