THe 365: Day 546



Wednesday, June 30, 2010 (181/546)

I got my wallet back. Everything was in there except for my $60 cash. But, I had already called my employers and voided my paychecks, and canceled my credit, debit, and CTA cards. Now I play the waiting game to get everything back.

The 365: Day 545



Tuesday, June 29, 2010 (180/545)

“Come to Montana. Yeah, we’ll watch a moose drown, take photos, and not help it. Because we don’t give a fuck up in Montana, bitch.”





Where the Monsters of The Midway come out to play.





I lost my wallet at the Roosevelt Red Line stop. $60 I made in tips, 3 pay checks, CTA pass (linked to my credit card), debit card, credit card, driver’s license, social security card. And most importantly, my ten year old flaming wallet from Hot Topic. A wet dream for someone looking to steal an identity.

To get a new driver’s license you need a social security card (among other things). To get a social security card you need a government issued photo identification card. I may as well not exist anymore. I may as well not exist.

This might be a bit of an over reaction.

My boys, they’re all comin out, they all got the same haircut, they’re getting some fuckin pussy tonight . . . bitches love my haircut. And if they don’t, fuckin skanks . . . jager bombs!”

Is that truck giving me the finger?





The behind the scenes dudes at Summerfest. Filming, and photographing the Electronic Tribe Effect as the back-up band for Malik Yusef, as he opens for Public Enemy on the U.S. Cellular stage at Summerfest.





My cousin’s son was on hand as well. We ran into each other.





Caution, makes wide right turns. Reminds me of someone.





A few beverages before hitting up the Front 312 party at Neo.

Of course, after a long day of retail work the only thing I want to do is spend the day at the mall. Sorry if that sounded sarcastic, it was my idea. Fun day!

Sunrise on my walk home.





RoyAl in the Green Room at I.V. Lab Studios, layin down some vocals on a new Electronic Tribe Effect song.





Eric and Oscar workin that fresh hotness, Electronic Tribe Effect (or “ETE”).





Stealing unreleased music. No, not Patrick Stump’s solo debut album. That’d be wrong, and an abuse of trust. It’s the Scott Jackson album.

Happy Flag Day! I had trouble sleeping last night. Also, I only had the chance to get a couple hours. Up at 2AM to go to work. Ugh.
