in terrified anticipation of luongo,

here are 15 reasons to love our hawks, courtesy of espn.com, and you know it's especially spot on in every detail when it refers to byfuglien as "a broth of a boy." really a good piece of work, this guy knows the team.

BLAMO!!

I couldn't embed the video, but this is pretty awesome.

Anyone who's got some spare time, I think you've found your hobby (Josh, I'm looking at you).

Gone Corporate

For all the Chicagoons, and others throughout the midwest, click here to nominate your favorite Old Style serving bar! Lotta fun, and you'll be entered to win a pass on the Old Style Sign Crawl throughout the city happening every month this summer beginning in May! Try to guess which one I nominated (you'll have to scroll up north and disregard the spelling...). Thanks MTV!!

Also, have some fun with fattying up the sites you go to/through today with this:

http://bacolicio.us/, just plop it on before your address, kind of like this: http://bacolicio.us/http://www.gryllsbasement.blogspot.com (Note-you have to add the entire address, http's included for it to work)

High playoff hopes

Great wins for the Bulls and the Hawks. Psyched to recap 20Ts with Mike tomorrow, then the Hawks go back to Calgary and all those insano fans.
The Bears added some big fellas on the D-line and some crafy wideouts.

Check out their top pick, no. 68 defensive tackle Jarron Gilbert, jump out of this pool and land on his feet. (Adam, I'm positive you can do this on your first try.)

Clearly missing Chicago sports,

Summer in the City

Any takers this year? I think my roommate Ben, myself, and perhaps some worthy others will be taking a drive east in August. The line-up is off the charts if you like dancing in the heat. The DJ's listed at the bottom are top-notch groove busters. Some quality rockers, crooners, and shredders in the mix too--Dan Auerbach (of the Black Keys), Snoop Dogg, Band of Horses, Animal Collective, and Sam Roberts Band will all deliver.
