life in Chicago day 6

to day was a good day. the girls across the hall dragged me out of my room to hang out, that’s right I said girls across the hall, all the dorms are coed, and the majority of my floor is women. Which expectedly worried Megan, I told her they are aware of my non-single status. But through the persuasion o mutual boredom I gave in. I went with Susan and Rachel to the biweekly event called Words on Wednesday (wow) it certainly lived up to its acronym. There were singer songwriter’s rappers spoken word poets, story tellers, monologues, and comedians. It was all students’ work the talent was amazing honestly better then any I've seen before, all of them were professional quality. I came to a conclusion form this. Columbia college has no sports teems instead it has nightly artistic Olympics were everyone is given a gold for baring there sole. Every department one showcase a week film student’s premiering pieces, Wow is for the English and music department, theatre has shows every night practically most of which are student works. 6 shows are done with a professional director.

I am so excited!

This is the perfect place for you, Matt. I knew you'd love Chicago.

Hey Henry Rollins just did a great interview with NPR. I think a new album is in the works?

Maybe once you progress in your martial arts, you can join the guardian angels or something. "Stop thief, or I will moonwalk all over you!"

At any rate, we're up and running back here in Minnesota, and most theatre conversations include your name and a sad little sigh, as in "we're really gonna miss him."

Hey drop that address so I can get you a script -- I haven't heard otherwise so I'm hoping you're still looking to design Diviners...

Take care and enjoy every moment there.
