Chicago

Just spent four days in Chicago for a trade show.
Canetto came for fun. To get a true taste of the city,
we went to Second City for comedy, saw some live jazz,
took the architeture boat tour on the river, ate deep dish
pizza and joined an organized crime syndicate. (I'm kidding...
we so didn't eat the pizza -- you know how many carbs
that has?)

Learned about a style of architecture called "Brutalism" which
is just as lovely as it sounds.

Funny moment: just before the show
opened, only one booth was not yet set up and I saw
a man frantically opening crates and struggling to
get set up before the show started. I looked at the name
of his company -- the American Planning Association.
No irony deficiency here.
