Open Season

we're well into october now and visitor season has begun. on saturday, we met up with Physal (as the brother-in-law spells it) to catch the late showing of scorcese's latest flick - The Departed. i'd highly recommend it. good acting, solid plot, clean execution. i also recommend the hollywood blvd theater. with a group of 4 we begrudgingly took a table close to the front. neck-craning or not, the office chairs helped a lot. the you just don't get very many movies of this caliber anymore.

then on sunday, we met up with frank neil and Agent Wang to grab some brunch at a swanky place up in lincoln park. but we passed on a 2 hour wait and took some grub at another diner down the street. hightlights were we all learned about a french toast orgy, we learned the hard way that the switch near neil's kitchen controls the power to the TV (go figure) and that there's a large ohio state bar aptly names mickeys.

next up: brian, christie and mary this friday - sunday. tune in...
