HUGE distraction
With finals coming up in two weeks, the thing I needed most in my life right now was a HUGE distraction. That huge distraction was none other than my dear friend Rachel, who visited from New York. Rachel provided the following photos and captions:
Eating the “Chicago dog” and less exciting “Chicago burg.” I consumed this late night snack in forma pauperis. (Thanks, Ricky)
Two things I like here:
1. Rick’s persuasive stare. That hamburger could have committed 4th degree murder but I believe it’s innocent. Without saying a word, Counselor Lax has won his case.
2. Picture choice. I took two pictures of Rick and Derek. Ricky thought this one was more appropriate for his blog whereas the second picture, while more effeminate–him and Derek intertwining their arms newlywed-style to eat their late night food–was far superior.
Rick enjoying the miniature Christmas display in the lobby of the John Hancock Center.
Rickrealizing 2007 would mark his last Christmas break. Ever. Welcome to the real world, Counselor Lax.
Home of Chicago Cubs. Location of the TBS hit “My Boys.” Wriy Field: everything I’d hoped it would be.
Even a cool-headed lawyer, when provoked by a girl who can school him in sprints around the gym, will attack. Be it with derisive argument, biting sarcasm, or a bic pen.
Four men. One piano. Endless Journey hits.
Derek paid Rick an undisclosed amount to promote Down the Line’s “Please Remember My Name” album ( www.downthelineband.com or iTunes, $9.99). Alex thought Rick just liked her. Leading the witness (on), Counselor Lax.

Rick: Nice seeing you over the break,even if only briefly. Do the new generation legal eagles ever shave?
November 29th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
Yes, good seeing you too, sir. So how did you end up that night?
Once my grandfather told me, “You’re never going to impress anybody with your face looking like that.”
Just so much work to shave every day. Don’t know how you do it.

what is that expression on your face in the 3rd picture?
November 30th, 2007 at 12:12 pm
That’s a patented Ryan Scott face Linda. Ricky’s been spending all his time thinking about me instead of studying.

Oh dear, Ryan.
If that’s one of your faces … then both you and Ricky have my deepest sympathies.

Seriously, can this world be any smaller?
Not only do I know Elliot through my dad (and a random meeting outside of a BBQ spot), but I know Derek and Down the Line through Levi, another down the line band member.
It’s a crazy, crazy world.
The six degrees of Rick Lax.

Jeff,
Any chance you know Levi from Traverse City? Us Traverse City folk are everywhere.

Actually Michelle, YOU have MY deepest sympathy if you can’t understand how TOTALLY AWESOME that face is…I get to show it to bouncers like every day because it is the same face that is on my driver’s license. They love it.

Hi Rachel,
I’m not from Traverse City… I know Levi from a few years back. I used to be in the restaurant buisiness and one job I worked was with the Potbelly folks. Levi used to play there weekly and I got to know him. Quite a few Down the Line shows at the Underground Wonder Bar later, and Levi and I were buds. I haven’t seen or heard from him in a few years. At those shows, I met Derek a few times. DTL is a great band.

Counselor Ryan,
Are you going to bars “every day” now?
Also, what, aside from Chicago, are we doing for new years?
December 3rd, 2007 at 1:11 pm
CRAZAAAAAY!
What you mean every day?

Counselor Ryan, you wrote, “Actually Michelle, YOU have MY deepest sympathy if you can’t understand how TOTALLY AWESOME that face is…I get to show it to bouncers like every day because it is the same face that is on my driver’s license. They love it.”

“like every day”
key word “like”
it’s really more “like every other week”
you know I don’t have time for that shit
