A praise to Pip for his swell going-away party last night, and lets not forget ol' mary BOYD! A great time was had by all, thanks guys. You'll be missed when you're in Australia - but we'll all take solice in the knowledge that Jeff will still post more than anyone else on the entire internet[s]. We went to an Irish bar curiously located off of 55 near miles and miles of windswept desolate parking lots and corporate HQs. Great beer was on tap and great food enjoyed by all - and people really put in some effort to get here from Champaign, Northbrook, Wheeling and Carbondale - despite the blizzard!

The night continued on to Chicago and we left Pip and drank whiskey + coke at the Rainbo - lovely. I had to choose a couple's convention to go home with and I opted out of being left alone at Nick's a la Pip on friday night, so I went with Skits and Skats and Jeff and Laurel to her place. At Laurel's I lost the plot and laughed heartily to the old Batman movie and ate sweet sweet snacks. And then off to bed.

Today I must plan my escape from home before my mom gets here and forces me to go to church.
