Perhaps it has to do with the everclear I've ingested since arriving here, or its the fucking awesome company of my crew, but I'm in I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S and loving it.  The last few weeks have SUCKED.  I've been isolated, alone and generally feeling like shit.  Oh, I've been busy... I had a shit load of gigs, and that was alright, but the fact is that things have been weak.  So it's cool to just ditch town for a few weeks of hard labor in the company of my awesome crew who represent for me all the time.  We're BUILDING A ROLLERCOASTER MOTHERFUCKERS.
