I’m in Chicago. I couldn’t take it anymore. My own space and my own head were wearing me down, with no way to be outside it. So I walked around, towards the river, drinking beer and punching my own fucking arm. Took the light rail, took it back, and booked a Megabus for Chicago. I got here last night.
I did this all without planning. I bought my luggage on the way, and was planning on sleeping in the airport or college or something. My sister’s letting me crash at her place. Now I’m at a McDonald’s and I just paid $3 to use the WiFi because I couldn’t find any real coffee shops, and I don’t know where I am enough to use the trains.
I’m going to play an open mic tonight. There’s a few of them, but I think it’ll be at Cafe Mestizo in Pilsen.
