Back.

 My trip in pictures (and a few words)...

*Most pictures are scavenged of the internet*


FRIDAY


Hunter got us an upgrade.  Good boy.



Chicago, IL: Pizano's Pizza - some of the best I have tasted!

We always eat here when we go to Chicago.
Actually have had a waitress offer to get us weed once…so funny.

Hmmm.  Wonderif/what I got?!

 Time to party…
We went to 
Ken Saunders Gallery and ECHT Gallery and met up with friends.

I took the one above :)

Farmhouse Restaurant.  Neat place.  Second time there.  Very, very loud this time.  Recommend though.

Night, Night.


SATURDAY

Hanigs Footwear in the John Hancock Center

Got Hunter shoes…post later.


SOFA - Sculpture Objects Functional Art & Design











There's my little work of art.

*Allium Bar was in our hotel.  My feet were killing me so I went to bar with Mr. H, got my wine, straight to room and a bath.  Before I left, I had noticed two very attractive young ladies.  After I left, the following conversation began…
Ladies:  Were you not with some one?
Mr. H: Yes, she went to the room.
Ladies:  Oh, are you staying then?
Mr. H: No, she's waiting for me with her feet up in the air.
Ladies:  What?  Why?
Mr. H:  She's waiting for me to rub them.
Ladies:  *Silence*

Hunter is so suave he can't even pick up prostitutes (which I know they were, he's not sure).

If your neighborhood bagel-and-lox place happened to be lit by a massive chandelier
Dillman's..Had the chicken pot pie.  I would go back.

ZZZZZZZ  In bed by 10:00PM


SUNDAY

Up at 5:30 AM.  Shit, forgot about the time change…up at 4:30 AM. Ugh.

Purple Pig Menu in Chicago

Highly recommend.  Communal dining…ate pig's tail - very good.


One more time.

Got a scarf.


Henri's.  Had the tasting menus.  Ate really different stuff.  Was good, not great.  Service excellent.

Time for bed.

Back home Monday.

  1. Good to have you back with some items crossed off your list. We missed you!
    That Hunter, he's a keeper. I have a feeling we'd be really good friends "in real life". Did you go to SOFA just for fun? That looks like the kind of place where my design foend husband could spend days or even months.

    1. Hunter loves glass and has wanted to go to SOFA for a few years now. It was really amazing... A bit overwhelming but amazing.

    1. I'm pretty damn excited. I had them shipped so I didn't have to pay tax or try to find room in suitcase.

  3. Looks like a fun trip. I like your art, better than was at SOFA. Too funny about the "ladies"! Men are so naive. Hunter sounds like a real keeper. Lucky you :-)

    1. He's pretty clueless sometimes. I mentioned unescorted ladies just don't start talking to a single gentleman at a bar. He just thought they were being friendly.

  4. It looks like it was so much fun. I would like one of each of the textured glass bowls. Hunter's story at the bar is priceless. The pizza looks crazy good!
