Why Haven’t I Been to Smoque Yet?
I suppose fear of running into Guy Fiorre is a solid reason. We will overcome.

New Belgium’s Tour de Fat Saturday at Palmer Square
This looks suspiciously hippie-like to me, but, regardless, I may roll down and check out New Belgium’s Tour de Fat at Palmer Square on Saturday. That is if I’m not too beat up from the Ween show the night before. Shit, I still need to post the review of the Beer Hoptacular.

It was a long journey into the heart of flavor country, and not without it’s perils, but, like any good journey, I can now sit satisfied on [...]

Chicago Cycling Club
After returning from two weeks in the beer-puddled paradise of Belgium, coming back to the well worn grooves of my ‘real’ life, I’ve found myself in a very real and tangible depression. I’ve had to stop drinking due to some unsurprising health concerns (‘stop drinking’ = only drink 3 days a week, though this will [...]
