Goldilocks was on to something…
Okay, maybe serving time/ temperature is not the sexiest topic, but hang in here with me, dear neighbors, because boy can it make a difference in your wine tasting experience. I was in the mood for a wine comparison the other night so David and I opened a Rioja and a Chianti Classico. Perhaps because we were getting a bit hungry for dinner, we began our note taking shortly after I opened the bottles. Now I know that ideally, wine should be given the chance to breathe, but like other habits you know are good for you, ( flossing, anyone?) I don’t do it every time. Read the rest here...Pat Hall Memorial
Chicago’s Mr. Piano Man, Pat Hall, passed on to the great gig in the sky on January 24, 2010.
There will be a benefit on the 14th of February at the Red Line Tap to remember him, celebrate his life through the music of his friends, help pay his final expenses and set up a fund for his son Brian.

Art opening at Studio 7013
This exhibition features the work of local Chicago artists, as well as national and international artists! We are very excited to show off their new work. We'll have a lot of great photography and some masterfully realistic, but emotional, large paintings. "Amnetic State" shows how artists deal with memory within the process of making work. How the past is represented and reconfigured, to reveal hidden truths, and obvious lies. Sept. 11th still remains a day of infamy and this show looks to embrace the situations and perspectives arrived in this context.
