Seeing Stars at Planetary/Kitty Joyce Summit
Cats and planets converged Monday night in Logan Square at the Planet Shwoop/KittyJoyce summit.
The historic meeting, which featured officials from B&W, Pickhits, Planetary Delight, Use Your Hands, and Driving through Nebraska, took place to recognize a rare Chicago visit with the board of Berkeley, CA-based Goliard Dream.
Digital camera flashes sizzled as Felicity and son recounted tales of Windy City touristing in the hot August temperatures. Fellow diners and restaurant staff seemed "a mite taken aback" by the commotion, according to sources.
"We encourage our patrons to make themselves at home," muttered one restaurant employee who asked not to be identifed. "But those people were camera-crazy. My stars!"
Topics of conversation ranged from books and bookshelves to Jackson Pollock to jazz to the vicissitudes of living in the Bay Area and Chicago. Excellent food was also enjoyed. "Hey! Those are my potatoes!" one diner was overheard to say.
The evening wound up with a mid-tempo stroll in the somewhat soggy evening through scenic Logan Square. The group noted numerous architectural features of the historic neighborhood, including turrets, stained glass windows, and hipsters.
Summit participants indicated that they enjoyed the summit and hoped it would be repeated. A letter of thanks to Planetary Delight CEO Brian was issued from KittyJoyce headquarters this morning.
