The Next Dark Age
We're in it Now
Tourists
The “group activity” for the conference this week was a trip into the city. The park and Navy Pier. I had to explain The Bean to the ladies from Montana and Idaho.
“I think it has a real name, but I don’t know what it might be. It’s…um…modern art or something. People like to take pictures. It cost a zillion dollars and then a whole bunch more when they have to clean it and stuff.”
Then I started taking camera-phone pictures with them:
 |
| That’s the building from Adventures in Babysitting. Why are the windows out?! |
 |
| That’s the Pritzker Pavilion. Where they have Lollapalooza and the rallies when the Bulls win championships and stuff. |
 |
| Hey, look! The Hancock Building is peeking over there! No. I dunno why it’s famous. |
 |
| This tree gives back. That’s so Da Mare. |
