One night I was shopping at Mariano’s on Western and Roscoe and when I was done it was pretty late and I was staaaarrrving. I noticed this place, Meatheads, across the parking lot and decided to give it a try. I had no idea what it was when I went in, but it’s a burger joint. They serve all natural burgers, made to order. The use Midwestern Angus chuck without any fillers or additives or scraps. It was pretty fast, but more of an order at the counter then sit down and get your food kind of place. I actually got it to go. I thought it was a pretty decent burger, not that I eat burgers very often.

Meatheads has a bunch of locations around Illinois, but the Roscoe Village restaurant is the only one in Chicago.

The week before I went to Toronto, Sara, Steve and I went to the CHIRP event, The First Time: First Child at Beat Kitchen. Like the last few times (First Date, First Record, First Digs, First City), we had so much fun! This time I knew one of the readers, Erin Shea, but also recognized a few from previous events. We’re becoming a family!! :)

As always, all of the essays were great. I enjoyed the music so much too. I, of course, especially like Erin’s piece. Over the years, since we’re not working together any more, we’ve grown apart and I while we’ve kept in contact online, it was interesting to hear her tell her tale in person. I also really enjoyed Gerald Dowd’s essay, which brought him out from behind the drumset. I’ve seen Tributosaurus perform, so was also especially interested Matt Spiegel’s reading. And Megan Stielstra is always great. Ok. They were all great. I call them each out on their own merits, but just believe me, they were all good.

The event was $10 and all proceeds went to benefit CHIRP. Follow CHIRP’s Facebook page to make sure you get alerted when the next event is planned! You won’t want to miss it.
