Jon Stein gives a history of Slackerville and Wicker ParkOne of my duties as "consultant" is to come up with new tour ideas for groups visiting Chicago. I thought it would be cool to do an art tour from the perspective of a working artist, where the folks could learn firsthand about process, the gallery scene, etc. I asked Jon Stein to be the guide and he said yes.
Today was the first one and I just got back from Slackerville. It was quite a kick to see 45 seniors walking around the place, with all the memories of the mid-nineties craziness winking at me from every nook and cranny. Even Kiki was there, looking all of her 17 years.

60% of me thinks this is cool and sweet.
30% is horrified by senior tourists inside slackerville.
10% of me thinks Kiki might have sold her soul to the devil for eternal life
They totally dug it is the thing, he did a great job of taking them through the whole process and they had endless questions... but I know what you mean, for sure.
Nice job, Simo. You consulted your ass off on that tour.
Well that's pretty cool. I didn't know you got to do stuff like that. Consulting is where it's at.
But a question from the young'un:
Who's Kiki?
a cat I met in 1993
