Recap

Well, the two promising things remain..promising. So we’ll see, I’ve also gotten some other calls today regarding work, so when it rains it pours. I must try and remember this when it seems like the drought.

Loving the metaphors.

Went to see Band Geeks over the weekend and it was awesome. Totally funny, totally upbeat, an incredibly talented cast with no weak link (how many shows can you say that about?). I had a great time and highly recommend it.

Friday night I left it up to John to figure out what we were going to do for the night. And of course he’s brilliant and wonderful, so he took me to the number 4 Burger from the Tribune. We went to the Select Cut Steakhouse on Halsted. And it was pretty good, I have to admit.

John suggested I start my own list, of what I think is the best. So I may do that when I have more time. But suffice it to say that for right now:

1. Biasetti’s
2. Hackneys (it’s partly because of the onion rings and nostalgia)
3. Moodys
4. Select Cut (consistent #4?)
5. I gotta say, the Mystic Celt burger is one I think about long after I’ve had it.

So that was just off the top of me head, I’ll change it as my moods and experiences change.

I gave a Modern Tour on Sunday and the people that took it (one couple, one man and his 12 year old son) could not have been more bored. I was practically doing my Mies Van der Rohe dance just to get them into it. It was horrible. They yawned, they sat down all the time, they talked amongst themselves. So bad. It was my 1st really hard tour and it’s just as bad as a bad improv show. Blech, phooey, no more of those. Although I’m sure they do happen from time to time. I just hope it’s not consistent.

We’ve been watching the latest season of Entourage and John just got it on DVD for the 1st season. I love Jeremy Piven, he loves Debbie Mazar so we’re good to go. It’s a great show though, loving it.

But tonight, TONIGHT is the finale of Hell’s Kitchen, we’ll be munching on special potstickers and crab Rangoon. YUM.

That’s about it for now, I will keep all updated on the promising things.
