Lisa,

I just got back from visiting my friends Mr. Thermometer and Audrey for a long weekend in Chicago. The Touch and Go 25th Anniversary Block Party was a rain-soaked, chilly affair, but some of the bands were quite good. I caught a cold but I think I'm getting over it.

It's incredible how grey and overcast and cold it was all weekend. I got pretty depressed a few times, but I was able to tell Mr. Thermometer and Audrey about how I was feeling and they let me lie on the couch and cooked me dinner. Audrey said she wished I lived in Chicago so they could take care of me.

I'll see you tomorrow, usual time,

U.
