karl: they have a show about ghost hunting? awesome! i’ll bet a baby ghost is totally easy to catch.
mocha: we don’t need to head up to small town wisconsin to knock back a drink. just make your way north a bit!
churlita: well, i ate enough food there to cover about 6 months worth of advertising…
serap: it’s a sacrifice worth making.
jessica: YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT! dee is gonna kick your ass!
dee: it was such a blast – can’t wait to come back there as a paying customer!
claire: well, i’ll tell you – it sure felt like a small town every friday night in high school when we’d all hang out in the burger king parking lot until the cops made us leave.

sounds like a helluva time.
“and watch young women in prom dresses try to talk each other down from drunken rages, even when it’s not prom.” -love that.
Also, considering the city near the small town where I grew up had about 60,000 people, I feel quite certain 90,000 doesn’t count as a small town.

I welled-up again at the hugging photo and laughed out loud at the pj skirt (seriously it looked great on you especially with the boots). Thanks so much for sharing the weekend with us and the dead baby ghost and the dead baby ghost’s grandmother. Everyone in town has been talking about the curly haired, pool shark photographer … you’re famous!
xoxo,
dee

Is EVERYONE whistling “Candyman” now?
Loved the recap, Jen! I need to find an excuse to visit their awesome new restaurant (and I won’t ask about the history of the brick, unless you want me to) so you and I can knock back a few drinks.
School’s out June 5…what’s that next weekend look like for ya?

Maybe the restaurant will be on “Ghost Hunters” some day. Great publicity!
As usual, you’re one of the best storytellers around.

heather anne: trust me – if you would’ve seen it, you’d be traumatized just like me…
laurel: definitely – start your proteges young! soon enough, she too will be rocking the home perm!
egan: thanks! from what i hear, the dead baby ghost is not an evil spirit, so they’re not too worried about her ruining the grand opening this week.
serap: little brown bear? you call that a gift? pfffft. in chicago we give away real Chicago Bears. the football playing kind.

I would love to visit Chigago, and if I do, I will let you know how friendly I find it… although its going to be very hard to top one little town I went to in California, where a lady in a shop gave me a christmas tree decoration of a little brown bear as a present… and I wasn’t even a child when this happened, I was 27!
