I would see this in the theatre

Chicago Teachers Strike

Knowing that our one and only Adam Williams was once a part of the educational system in Chicago I thought he could provide some keen insight into what I think is an absolutely absurd situation!

I just figured out how to download anything.  If you can play it you can download it.  Maybe others knew this, but I didn't so I thought I'd share.

"The Best Beer"

I just thought of this question and then I immediately realized the complexity.  So, I'm bringing it to the blog to decide. This is not about choosing the most complexly-hopped 169 minute IPA. This is about the best beer anytime, all the time.  When thinking about your answer of "What is the best beer?" please keep the following parameters in mind.

•  This beer is good in any occasion

• This is your "dessert island" beer

• This is your beer for all seasons

Rules

1. A beer will be considered if it is nominated and that nomination is seconded by a second party
2. Any beer motioned and seconded will be lin the final vote
3. You may petition, whine, clamor, spew venom, etc... for your beer
4. If you nominate a light beer you are out of the IC effective immediately

"The Best Beer"
is

Pretty excellent 28-min documentary

Documentary on kid as he plays baseball while Haiti suffers cholera epidemic and wreaks havoc in his community. Great music, sound, editing and story. It's free and might make your girlfriend/wife cry. Or you (Weiss/Faust).

 I am interested in hearing everyone's results. I was 64% Obama.

Two things:

1. Hopefully this finds you well this Friday
2. Like I said before. The olympics man. The olympics.

BLACK FAUST

CHICAGO _ The rarely seen and elusive black Faust was spotted at the uber-hipster mecca of band snobbery, Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Square last weekend.

       Black Faust, wearing his trademark life source bracelet from the planet of Endor, also donned knee-high rain boots despite clear skies, a hat reminiscent of the 4-Non Blondes and a pair of macro-made polyester shorts. He also sipped Earl Grey tea infused with a tickle of gin and lemon zest, known as a "Meantini."

       "Every heard of it?" He asked as he slurped the last few drops of it from a silly straw. "Didn't think so."

       The black Faust, not to be confused with his white SXSW Passion Pit starved Texas doppleganger, was haughty and aloof when asked which band he was most excited to see.
       "I'd tell you," he said. "But I'm sure you've never heard of them."
       Black Faust was seen later in the day pretending to know most of the lyrics to the Sleigh Bells hit "Comeback Kid," before skipping off with the rest of his "beaucoup d'amis," as he refers to his group of non-French friends, to catch Atlas Sound's hit which he called "Walkaround."

       "It's Walkabout," his friend Kiblet corrected.
       Black Faust then looked at him, spit on his leggings and said, "You're out, Kibshit."
       When leaving the park Saturday night, Black Faust was asked if he'd be back for the festival's close on Sunday.
       "Are you freaking kidding me?" He asked. "Gawd no. Vampire Weekend is opening. What is this, 2010?"
       He added that he also had to work the 1-9pm shift at Walgreen's the next day.
