Everything else has a long comment except this one. But now this has one too. Whee. What a fabulous time to be in town - there were tulips blooming like crazy _everywhere_. I even got to see some lilacs for the first time in years! This was a view south down the median of Michigan Avenue, from just south of the Art Institute. these were arranged all down the west side of Michigan Ave. from a bridge at the south end of Grant Park from a bridge at the south end of Grant Park from a bridge at the south end of Grant Park

This is when I discovered the slow-sync flash mode, which I used for much of the weekend. Much better lighting for the photos, but a lot more blur 'cause I'm not a human tripod.

in black and white! Friday night third-floor afterparty sharing a great green fishbowl on Saturday afternoon at Bennigans, after a vain attempt to locate a tiki restaurant at the opposite corner of the loop, which was advertised on a wall billboard near the hotel. They wouldn't bring us each our own fishbowl, though, the wankers. hanging out in the lobby on Saturday evening hanging out in the lobby on Saturday evening hanging out in the lobby on Saturday evening hanging out in the lobby on Saturday evening

hanging out in the lobby on Saturday evening hanging out in the lobby on Saturday evening hanging out in the lobby on Saturday evening The flower came in the giant first drink we shared at Trader Vic's on Saturday evening, which we discovered in the basement of the Palmer House Hilton during our earlier search for tiki. Sadly, the drink tasted of little more than crappy OJ from concentrate. Saturday night, between Black Tape for a Blue Girl and The Brides (or maybe during The Brides). Saturday night, one of the downtown skyscrapers was advertising for the annual Y-Me breast cancer benefit marathon (but I didn't know that at the time). The skyscraper to the left looks like it's been space-invadered.
