Well, this year it's in Grant Park, and dammit, the Killers are going to be there. And dammit, the passes are more than twice the price. Yes, it's two days long, but still. Dammit. Can't afford it this time.

The Killers. Dammit.

This made me snicker.

Lunchtime now.

Linky-bits are fun. Sorry they're all from the Trib, but I think most of them are wire stories anyway.
