Packing panicking packing panicking. My parents keep staring at me and tearfully smiling as if I were on my deathbed. I almost cried in an outlet mall yesterday. Need to get to Ukraine before self-destructing stat stat stat stat stat.

I’m really happy how this turned out. We only practiced the song a couple times before recording this version.

Lovin’s For Fools cover - Isaac Bloom, Erin Vogel, Amy Lipman

Haunting & lovely - nicely done, friends!

Obsession developing with Lorado Taft, turn-of-the-century Chicago sculptor. I’m already attached to that era in Chicago - even as a kid, the city always presented itself to me in a series of art nouveau lines, slender figures, and geometric shapes. But just LOOK at these… at the risk of stating the obvious, look how much feeling’s in the stone!!

I’ve seen his sculptures in and around the Art Institute, and loved them for years, but I’d never connected them with their sculptor. A couple weeks ago I was so, so excited when I found a hallway of the Harold Washington library devoted to photos of his work. Check it out if it’s still there!

Oh, and look what I just found - thanks, Eight Forty-Eight: http://www.chicagopublicradio.org/Content.aspx?audioID=41664
