Liked Tara Donovan’s pin drawings at Pace

The texture of the pinheads at different depths, the precision of placement, and the way the light shimmers off them.

Chicago Recommendations

Notes to myself on places 

 

Girl and a Goat – Awesome

Blackbird – Great, but pricey.

Publican – Didn't get to.

 

Rooftop of The Wit hotel – good for drinks in the summer.

 

Empty Bottle – Dive with a good crowd and bands

Goldstar – Went to this place years ago. Good dive with pool table.

Across the street is Phyllis Musical Inn. Really divey with music.


Jon recommended and did not get to try:

Schuba’s

The Hideout

Double Door

My phone died early on and only got a photo of the entry stairs to the Art Institute.
