I want CTA and Metra to run…
haunted trains in October,
Turkey Trains in November,
Love Trains in February (the O’Jays kind, not that kind…)

Another club I am consistently pleased leaves me off of its invitation list. I am so happy not to be aware of any of these horseshit organizations or their little fake conferences.

The buildings are all pre-fabbed and can be dragged on-site. Biggby's is the leader in the midwest.

Donnie Darko moment.
