Notable this weekend:
The Gaper's Block party. It's been a real delight joining the Chicago bloggers and discovering all the good writers in this city. Some good performances and a chance to meet people in person, plus cinnamon rolls!
The Vulgar Boatmen at Schuba's. After reading Mike's musings last week on the band, it was fun to see them in person. Unbelievable that I've been listening to them, in one iteration or another, for 15 years. Also good to introduce Brian to their music, and he says they've saved his faith in rock & roll, so I guess my work here is done.
Finally, latest favorite recipe: Cajun-spiced meat loaf. I found this in Bon Appetit, but this site replicates the recipe exactly, so maybe it's making the rounds.

Or perhaps a band name?
More to the point, it's really delicious meatloaf. And a really fine VB show. And a quite nice GB evening.
Boy, it all comes together.....
