Introduction As my fellow Chicagoan, Kanye West, put so eloquently: I'm on a living spree. I'm writing about it, taking pictures of it, asking it out to dinner, spiking it's drink, not returning it's phone calls and generally just trying to learn as much about it and have as much fun with it in my short time here on the planet.
