Chicago November 29th, 2009

I went to Chicago for one day to DJ a party, I randomly jotted down things I noticed.  It probably reads a little rough, but here goes:

Girl at whole foods told me to hold on to my crisp dollar bills because they are rare.  Whole foods in Gold Coast had basically no health food or whole foods products.  No yellow mustard, just Whole grain or Dijon. Man at liquor store wearing ninja turtles sweatshirt told me to come in after 6 because the girl working is a level one Sommelier. I was simply buying a travel pack of Benadryl.  I consider myself to have a decent grasp on urban slang, but I couldn’t understand one word the woman telling me about her mileage offer was saying. I did the unthinkable and purchased a vita coco water at the airport for almost 5 dollars.  Benadryl is the poor man’s Xanax. Chicago street dogs come with the option of fresh celery salt, pickles, tomatoes, etc. LA street dogs come with or without mayonaise. Grown man wearing a new my chemical romance hoodie.
