For the first time since we’ve lived in Chicago (nearly 6 years now!), Damon and I finally made it out to C2E2, the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. We regularly either miss it or forget about it until it’s passed, so we were pretty excited to go this year. Neither of us had full-on cosplay…

Hi. This is the first time in my life that I’ve ever been involved in a presidential campaign. I know it isn’t yours. But do you remember what it felt like to be this excited? Do you remember the first time you found a candidate that you could really get behind? One that really cared…

This is the second time I’ve been on a purple line train leaving Merchandise Mart at around 4:45PM. (Photo snagged from the interwebs) The CTA has a few conductors that like to talk to passengers.
