The first drops of Guinness draft to ever be poured for a civilian at the new Chicago brewery happened today and they went to my dad who, at 90, will question your very existence if you claim any other beverage is greater than. Thanks for the oh so special treat, Guinness!

One of the best Chicago Christmas movies out there is While You Were Sleeping. A sweet little feel good rom com that prominently features our fair city, the @cta , it’s previous token life and a view of the former @Suntimes building instead of the dump building that replaced it.

I’ve always wanted to go to Athens, GA for a pilgrimage in honor of the B-52s and #REM . My friend Mike Shannon and pals were playing all of Murmur at the historic @40WattAthens so I decided it was the right time to go. The real surprise? All four of them showed up! 🤩🤯

Folks, can confirm this was an impersonator. He called the bar today to apologize for the tomfoolery which fooled us all! But has been fun to read how much people seem to know about Bono’s physical attributes, his schedule, likes/dislikes, diet, astrological chart. Sheesh.

Afternoon stroll for coffee with my 87yr old dad, he kindly suggested we fuck the coffee & get a beer. He hasn’t been out too much so I suggested a place with a lake view. He kindly suggested we fuck the view and go to a place he knew had @GuinnessUS . #priorities @chicagobars

Fake Bono is a guy named Pavel Sfera who was nice enough to just contact me to personally apologize and also tell me about himself, which I appreciate. He’s in town for a Serbian film festival which featured a doc about him. So, fake Bono is sort of famous too 😂.

One of my favorite taverns in the whole world, @TwinAnchorsBBQ , turns 90 this month. It holds a double special place in my heart as it’s located a couple of corners away from where I grew up and it’s also the first bar I ever researched 23 years ago, starting it all.
