Duped-opia

Again, our quest to take advantage of Chicago led us to head downtown after a nice long meal and bottle of wine at Spoon Thai with some buds. Tonight is Looptopia (I'd link to it, but the website was down...an omen we should have paid attention too) downtown from 6:00 p.m. until dawn. The only problem was everything fun happened at 6:00 p.m.

Well, unless you wanted to do a 1/2 hour course on Latina Writing at 12:30 a.m.

It was just a ton of people all walking on the sidewalks. Occasionally someone would go "WOOOOO!" or I believe there was a square with fruit arranged just so. The art was so random we thought that possibly a stack of card tables was an art installation we were supposed to ponder.

The whole time it felt like it was just a way to get people downtown so they could bomb us or something. I mean we tried to find something fun to do but the only event at 11:15 p.m. worth attending was going on at the Cultural Center with 3 million of your closest friends in what Jzn dubbed as: The Human Wall Climb. Even the restaurants and stores were mostly closed.

The quote of the evening goes to this girl yelling in disbelief "How do they not blink? They aren't even blinking?" at a group of performance artists frozen in place with their fucking eyes closed....the entire time. Um, that's how they "don't even blink."

It was Mardi Gras without the tits or alcohol. But hey, you tried Mayor Daley....next year maybe actually you know, plan fun things to do all night, instead of the first 2 hours!
