May 22, 2013 - Brian Urlacher decided to retire from the NFL after 13 seasons.

Urlacher was the ninth overall pick of the 2000 NFL draft. During his 13 seasons with the Bears, he was credited with over 1,300 tackles to go along with 41.5 sacks and 22 interceptions, including two that he returned for touchdowns. The 6-foot-4, 258-pound linebacker was named to eight Pro Bowls, which is the third-most total in Bears’ history, trailing only Mike Singeltary (10) and Walter Payton (nine). Urlacher was a five-time All-Pro and was voted the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2005.

If you’re in or around the Chicago area, be sure to catch this mural produced by Gajin Fujita along with nine members of Los Angeles’ K2S graffiti crew.

Titled CHI-TOWN, the 10 x 130 foot (3 x 39.6 m) mural was commissioned by curator Dave Hickey in fall 2012 for Chicago’s citywide public art exhibition Big Art. The mural will remain on view throughout spring 2013.

Busy day ‘round here as I’ve officially launched my new company!

What started as a pipe dream a few months ago has now become a reality. I’ve always loved events and social media and am SO excited to start running my own social media consulting and event design firm.

I would love it if you gave it a look at the website, a like on Facebook and a little follow on Twitter.

Next up: securing a full list of clients ;)

In the meantime, I won’t be offended if you decide spread the news!

Dear Tumblr friends,

The fine folks that have been following me and those I follow (and well, even the folks that fall into neither category) are ladies and gents that happen to be witty, intelligent, and general purveyors of all things awesome. I submit for your approval something I hope to add to your collection of awesome artifacts and worth while endeavors.

After nearly a decade of working together on short films and commercials, we’re making our first feature length comedy, The Origins of Wit & Humor, and we need your help! There’s ton more information on our Kickstarter page but the long and short of it is, you’ve been a community of people I enjoy keeping up with and that consistently bring a smile to my face. Be it in a scroll, a like, a reblog, etc, you guys are on my radar daily.

If you like the project, myself, the rewards, or just simply want to let a couple of creative dudes continue their dream please consider a donation. If you would give us a reblog I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks so much,
Christian

Some quick info to whet your appetite:

WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A comedy writer trying to figure out if he has anything to say if he’s not trying to get a laugh. Can he let sincerity bleed over the reflex to joke and gain approval? We keep that deeper theme light and interesting with a dash of magical realism and array of eccentric characters. Want to find out more and check out a teaser trailer for the film? Check out the video above.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

A plethora of awesome prizes, rewards, and thank you gifts. Limited Edition Tshirts, art prints, digital goods, and a whole lot more. Not to mention we have several unique gift levels that allow to you collaborate with us on the making of the film. For example, you can vote on props, costumes, etc to see what makes the final cut. Get your art on screen to dress our sets. Name a character. Even get a speaking role. Again, find out more on the kickstarter page.

Chicago Filmmakers making a Chicago film. Hope you can check it out and donate/spread the word if you dig it. Please and thank you!

We’re currently 38% funded with 24 days to go.

“Of course, as Gapers Block rightly notes, Shteir predicted that Rahm Emanuel would never be elected mayor “because the city won’t elect a Jew,” so I’m not putting much weight in this tripe that the fast-asleep editors of the Review let slip through.

Rachel, it’s not Chicago that’s hopeless, it’s you. Please leave, and make a little room for the great people of Chicago and its visitors who know how to appreciate what a wonderful place we’ve built.”

thisistheglamorous:

The University of Illinois has giant banners, about 20 or more feet in the air, hanging in Union Station to advertise their MBA program. One of them has a QR code for you to scan. You know, 20 feet up in the air.

Pick your shitty punchline:
1. So, if you can figure out how to scan it, is that part of the entrance requirements?
2. How many MBAs does it take to think this was a good idea? At least one from U of I.
3. How many MBAs does it take to think people actually scan QR codes? At least one from U of I.
4. I’ve never seen real life application of what a MBA-wielding consultant said to do in real life before.

Come see my dance!

Indulge me in a little self-promotion…
This weekend my dance company, The Seldoms, presents a dance concert of works created and performed by the company members. In it I will be premiering a work - my first ever - which explores our different understandings of “experience” and our response to it.

I’m really pleased with how the work developed and can’t wait to premiere it this weekend. If you’re interested, I’d love for you to come see the show. Feel free to message me if interested or you can get your tickets in advance here: http://mixwithsixlh.eventbrite.com/#

PS - Please feel free to reblog to help spread the word!
