Hey yo yo, here I be, back in Chicago and whatnot. Two stories to tell:

1. Last night, outside, taking out the trash, round the corner and see an unmarked cop car, lights flashing in the grill, pull over a car full of 3 or 4 folks. The detectives get out of the car, are walking up to the other vehicle when it suddenly pulls away and tears down the street. The cops stroll back to their car, cool as can be and take off after them. Some guys standing on the street are just laughing, and so was I.
2. Working the door at Morseland tonight, some guy gives me attitude because I say he’s not on the guest list. Turns out he was, but under his…. I dunno… street name? His rap name? He tells me I’ve just cost the restaurant some business. I apologize later, but still. You gotta cut me some slack — I don’t know everyone in the scene, man. I don’t know all your A.K.A.’s and nom de plumes. Shiiiit.

It’s good to be back.
