Bathroom at Straw Dog Theater

After listening to Mort Castle and others talk about the late Ray Bradbury for an hour, I then took photos of a very strange bathroom.

Huh

Walking home Friday night on Halsted Street underneath Interstate 55.

More From LitFest

Printers Row LitFest

One of my favorite events of the entire year. I love everything about it, even though most of the books and magazines are out of my price range. I sold 7 out of 13 copies of PROACTIVE CONTRITION, which pleased me. Running through the streets where most of the printing presses were over a century ago, the fair runs in the shape of a T. Bands play, there were readings by a few mystery writers, people walk their dogs, they sell posters, pulp magazines, and...the duck were a new thing this year.

RED RED RED and some more red

All photos taken Thursday of last week.

Just After Memorial Day in The Loop

Yes, I do plan on seeing Bob Newhart. The guys at the top where playing in front of DePaul University. The guy riding the other train looked like he was having one bad day.

Commonplace Books

I call my notebooks commonplace books, because the late Karl Edward Wagner used that term. The college notebook doesn't really count, I just happened to have scanned photos. After thirty years, I still don't know why I never finished the sketch of my English prof, James Stronks. These photos go back a good ten years.
