Push II

there they are... 

 double button action,

and $1K worth of electronics in a tiny pile.

 the rest of the team [John, Janice]

 one-by-one...

and now all of these are gone.

Lyric Opera II

Very sweet candid shots of some fellow visitors getting a handle on their roles for this season.

Good night Chicago!

And "Eat Right"

Go GoKey

Francesca and my ex-neighborhood neighbor Cristina launched their kickstarter project, it's a little bracelet that allows you to safely carry your key while being on the run.

And your's truly is responsible for most of the imagery and the videography in the later half of the video.

Good Luck!

and after party

 Very fun night with a lot of good people. Here, Jamie and Janice for a mezzanine pitcher of margaritas at Big Star before crashing Danny's (quite literally). 

PS: has anyone seen my lonely bottle of red wine, it has gone astray and couldn't find me with all the ruckus going on...

NOWhouse!

 This Thursday we had a beautifully organized get-together at "Public Works",

with David McGaw as an outstanding and truly funny MC,

 full of interesting and at times quirky stories,

well received by the audience that made it into the sold out show.

 

Thanks for having us!

Mittach!

hm, Lunch in der Sonne im Hof von Big Star, gleich bei Jule um die Ecke.

People's Music School

A while ago, but very nice:
The Chicago "People's Music School" hosted a Gala to celebrate their 36th birthday and as we did some consulting work for them in a workshop last semester we were invited to celebrate with them.
They held it right on the stage of the Pritzker Pavillion in Millenium Park, quite stunning:

  with David McGaw, Jusien Yong and Farid Talhame.

Julia...

at the McCormick Center right after the "housewares show"

St. Patrick's Day

Mehr Bilder von St. Patrick's Day gibt es bald, aber hier schon mal ein Blick auf den grünen Fluss.

Oh, Sundays

 Zum Start gab es Dim Sum bei Cai, sehr lecker, aber etwas schwieriges Aufstehen nach dem ausgedehnten Abendessen...

Danach Spaziergang am Strand entlang bis zum Lincoln Park und dann mit dem Bus zurück.

(man beachte die Eisbrocken (teilweise über einen Meter lange Zapfen) die sich in der Sonne von den Antennen des Hancock lösen und vom Wind bis an den Strand geweht werden und dort spektakulär aufschlagen).

Licht aus

Spot an!

Hurray the first Snow!

 View from the top floor.

a little snow castle...

Good bye - Hallo ween

 

CMC - Halloween

 meeting the protestors in Millenium Park,

 the"enlightened ones"... (der Papst & der leuchtende Bart)

 Jumpsuits / "Strampler"

 Penny-Farthing...

 the mass...

Good bye Summer!

with last night's Critical Mass the summer is offically over and we are bracing ourselves for the "Winter of the Century", hurray!

(if my feet weren't cut off you could see that I'm actually levitating)
