Fun times at Navy Pier

Mira here. While Eric was honoring all those who labor by.....working, I went with Andy and Lewis and Lewis's friend, Leah, to Navy Pier where Leah's friend Sally's band was playing. They were a fabulous, 10-piece group that did great covers but also played a lot of their own stuff, and two of the singers are vocal students at Columbia College (the art school where Eric will likely apply). It was fun to be a tourist for an evening (we even took the Navy Pier tourist trolley from downtown--it's free!) and hear so many languages being spoken in one place. I wish Eric could have been there!

Here we are walking down Howard to the "el." It looks like I'm carrying puke in a baggie, but it's just salsa verde for the veggie empanadas that we ate on the way.

World Class Noise. Sally is the back-up singer on the right:

We have big heads.

Now I can join the "Long Torso Club," if Jim, Eric, and Cessie will have me.

Four coneheads.
