OTHER FUN STUFF

• I was in a hip-hop band once. True story.
   

• I co-founded a (very short-lived) snow removal company called Lincoln Park Snow Jobs. It didn't snow once that winter. Our logo was a walrus dressed as Abe Lincoln. 

• I have a mild obsession with the vintage Photo Booth at Rainbo Club in Wicker Park
