What was once Meigs Field, a fairly private airport across the harbor from Soldier Field is now a public park, prairie, and bird sanctuary. I took a trip down there last Sunday & we walked around the whole island - very pretty and very tiring. It's a great place to visit with, by far, my favorite view of the skyline (from the South).
Sculptures on the island:
I reiterate that I need a friend with a boat. I don't want my own boat - too much maintenance and hassle. But I've never been out sailing on the lake and it looks like such a great time...
View of the skyline from the South. Including the additions to Soldier Field - the Southeast sides of which, don't look like a giant space toilet.
An art show opening in the West Town neighborhood I went to with a couple of friends. Mitch O'Connell is a well known and established Chicago artist and he had some pieces along with a newer artist, Brian Morris. This was at the Rotofugi store and gallery. For those unfamiliar, Rotofugi makes all those really strange and wonderful Japanese style inspired toys.
Mitch's collection of skateboard designs. I bought the middle one. I am a patron of the arts now...
Mitch practicing his Zack Efron pose, as he called it. I finally got to meet the artist who designed the Hawaiian caricature tattoo on my back. Super, super nice guy.
Finally - Annie and Scout relaxing on the back porch of the new building.
5 people give a shit:
sooo jealous...
Yeah, owning a boat sucks. Not from experience, but from seeing friends waste so much time and money on those things. Of course, I encourage everyone else to buy one so I can hang out on it.
I love those sculptures. They're really cool. Wouldn't mind owning one of them.
I'm truly surprised that you say you've never been on a sailboat. I could have sworn that you have been sailing with Dad and I.
NO. You keep inviting me and it never happens... Sometimes I think you're just teasing! :P
Looove the sculpture and the boards. Do you skate, or is it purely decorative?
