Lakeview Broadcasting Company
Honestly I didn't see too much of the place. I just picked up my forty ounces of Old English: Traded back and forth with other people on the free arcade machine. Played Donkey Kong, some Pac-man and Digdug. Danced a little and then went home to go to sleep. It was raining pretty badly last night, but it was fun! A+++, would do again.

Bike ride on beautiful spring Chicago day

We rode from our place out to Lincoln Park zoo, saw all the animals and then rode down to North Avenue Beach, up and down the lakefront trail, and then took a break and snapped some photos: It was a great day. Jacqui's a little sore, but well worth it. Here's the whole Flick Set (18 photos) and a map of our photos and where they were taken.

Officially an Illinois driver
Jacqui and I went to the DMV on Friday in a crazy March blizzard. I'm not kidding guys, this was probably the worst snow conditions I've been in all winter. The snow was thick and the wind was blowing HARD. We did, however, get in and out of the DMV in only about an hour, which was nice. With no studying, we were both missed a single question and walked out with our new licenses:
Bin Wine Cafe plus Pint, a beautiful night
Had an excellent time out with Jacqui last night. Ran into her coming out of Cooking Fools with two big chunks of tasty looking cheese in hand. We walked to Bin Wine Cafe where we each had a wine flight, shared a cheese plate, and devoured a large order of their tempura green beans. Once complete, we walked practically next door to Pint. We drank $4.00 Blue Moon pints for a couple of hours while laughing, talking, and generally having a good time. Oh, I think we also ate some potato skins in there somewhere! We started at 6pm and ...
