Sunnier Still
September 6th, 2007
Okay, so Super-MIL delivered on her promise of saving a copy of the printed version of my recent appearance in the Sun-Times. And whoa! In addition to the sizable photo next to the article and an inset photo on the front page of the paper, the Arts section featured… well, me. As in, the entire broadsheet. Am I blushing?
Talk about a slow news week…
Sunny Times
August 22nd, 2007
On Sunday the Chicago Sun-Times did a piece about buskers on the red line. Apparently I was not only listed amongst the regular performers, but my photo was featured prominently several times in the issue. I still haven’t seen it in print, but worry not: Super-MIL has my back. She sent the gallant FIL to the newsstand to pick up more copies of the rag than posterity could ever demand.
I chatted with the photographer, John Kim — a very cool guy — and he sent me some of his best shots. Sadly, proprietary mumbo-jumbo prohibits me from posting any of those shots on my website. But I’ve taken the liberty of linking to the shot included in the online version. Glad they picked the one peeking through the trash… How metaphorical.
I have to say, I’m flattered to be included with the likes of Ron, Joe & Norm. Those guys are awesome. It’s worth riding the red line someday just to see them do Sam Cooke.
