Was so excited to happen upon this at the Art Institute today!  I feel in love with his paintings in Italy and wasn’t sure that i would see any of them again.  Caravaggio’s The Supper at Emmaus is at the Art Institute until the end of January, on loan from The National Gallery in London.  His painting are very rarely in the US so take advantage!

Attempting to organize a Tumblr meetup of sorts

Given the somewhat negative reaction to the prior posts about meeting at the Bean at noon on a December Saturday without booze, I’m inclined to think a Windy City Tumblr meetup should get some input (or at least more input than a photo being reblogged).

For those of you who want to do the Bean thing, have at it! For the rest of you who want indoor heating and alcohol, let’s get the ball rolling on that.

So, please reply with four things: Day of week, Date range, Neighborhood & Bar.

Thoughts?

ifthisthenthat: This was my favorite guerilla public art piece in Chicago. So much my favorite that I wanted to steal it and put it in my living room. Nobody would help me carry the 100+ pound piece, so it sat behind the Damen bus stop at Division. That is until sone ass-hat tagged it. If you look closely, then you can still see traces of awesomeness: a woman strumming away in front of a gorgeous view of Chicago. Now the art is next to the dumpster. Sad.

This weekend is the Sadie Hawkins race.  Unfortunately I probably won’t be able to go due to a massive amount of school work, but you totally should.  I’ve done this for the past three years and have had a blast every time.  Plus, it’s a benefit for the Chicago Women’s Health Center - a really great resource for Chicago women.
