Slow start to the day. See: $2.50 draft night.Jen and I made a trip to the Green City farmers market. This was one of the best markets I have ever been to. There was a lot more locally raised meat. Jen picked up some elk jerky and some goat butter. I got a beautiful heirloom tomato and a sweet orange pepper.
I did some solo exploring of the city. I hopped on the red line and headed down to 1060 West Addison. I went there more out of my love of The Blues Brothers Movie than any Cubs allegiance. For as long as I've loved baseball, I've been a Red Sox fan, so I am no stranger to heartbreak. After that brief visit, I went down to the lake. The thing that impressed me about Lake Michigan is that I could see into the water. It was clearer than I expected. After a wander into downtown, I went over to Wicker Park to meet up with Jen and some of her friends for dinner.
We got a white pizza with bacon, mushrooms and spinach. Piece Pizzeria & Brewery makes cracker crust pizza. They also brew some damn fine beers. Piece is owned by Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen. I was impressed-- as far as guitarist owned businesses go, this was better than Joe Perry's barbecue joint.
