Wicked

It's a good story. I love what they did with the scarecrow. And how they explained all of OZ and its oddities. But there's too much singing and dancing.

Carmen at the Lyric

Carmen is once again at the lyric opera house. Ms. Graves does her magic in the title role. Although I was rooting for her to die. What does that say?

Fontana Fresco

Make sure to check out Rick Bayless' new "restaurant" at Marshall Field's on State Street's 7th floor eatery. Rick was there today supervising.

Eatzis

It's the latest prepared food extravaganza to hit Chicago. Located in the lower level of the Century, it's no Dean and Deluca, but it's a nice addition to Chicago.

10 Pin Bowling

I finally got to 10 Pin and I was a bit disappointed. This place is not as sleek as all of the media has been saying it is. The only cool part is they have a video jukebox and the videos appear projected in large screens above the pins.
