I got the chance to see Art Burt last night. Thoroughly enjoyable evening of music. They do their best to deconstruct the whole idea of being a band. Amp problems delayed the show but in the end things got going. The show was at a club called Schubas which is well within walking distance of my home. The thing about Chicago is that wherever you go you will always run into someone. This is a blessing and a curse.
I live down the street from someone I use to date. It remains a constant fear that I will run into her in the neighborhood. This has only happened a handful of times but it is always in the back of my mind. But the positive side of living in such a small neighborhood is the chance to run into people you would like to see.
After the show I had a beer with a neighbor whom I had only seen in passing on my block. While waiting for the bathroom I met the founder of a theater I am studying at. The thing about meeting someone in line for the bathroom is that it's the worst place to have a conversation. Plus you feel kind of lame introducing yourself to someone you admire. I went with the classic "uh, hey I take classes at your theater". So lame and uninteresting. Shaking hands in and around a bathroom is just bizarre.
