Ok, so I realize it’s not actually Wednesday, but it’s been a busy week! In any case, I figured that I would try something new with my event recap for last Friday’s We Are Family opening at Post Family. The show, which was a part of AIGA Chicago’s Design Week, featured emerging artists/designers and great […]

I had planned on posting an event recap of last Friday’s We Are Family opening at Post Family, but then decided that I should post this before the Lost fever dies down. When a good friend of mine invited me over to watch this past Sunday’s series finale for Lost, I realized that it was […]
