another CTA doomsday scenario

If our fine mayor had any sense at all, he would hire Nicholas Hayes to write CTA doomsday fiction. At least then, we could entertain ourselves during our eternal wait.

"I have photos of him that could break your heart"

While I’m pretty sure I won’t be allowed into this exhibit until I pay my library fines from five years ago, we should all go see the Jasper Johns: Gray exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago starting in November. Here’s a little background on Johns and Rauschenberg.

you won't find this at Barnes & Noble

I love Butt magazine, and not just because of the catchy name and the fact that I am secretly a male homosexual. Every issue has interviews with hilarious gay writers and directors and some with random tramps and the occasional Icelandic dairy farmer. You can buy a bunch of Butts collected in an aesthetically pleasing pink book (published by Taschen, of course). There are a lot of photos of male genitalia, so be sure to cover those up with cat stickers of appropriate size if you plan on mailing photocopies to Beth Nugent. Buy the Taschen book of Butt at Quimby’s.
