Infinite Patience

Infinite Patience

RIGHT NOW!!! "Infinite Patience brings Immediate Results" a dear friend once told me. So contradictory I still don't quite get it, but it seems to work. Of course we all know patience is a virtue... patience with yourself, patience with others, patience and click delete when it comes to email flames.
Thanx for your patience with this late issue. I'm glad I waited, some good stuff showed up late.
Everyone who'd care already knows Roni Size is here tonight. Aura, Crobar, and Charybdis are also good tickets. Sa/Su is a Science and Surplus sale, and at Navy Pier both the Flower Show AND the annual Architect's Mini-Golf course are open. There's also LOTS of good clubbing and concerts, balloon art, and EVERYTHING at HotHouse sounds fun.
Watch for multi-day events starting Fr/Sa.
