Reckless isn't bad, but the dude that works the counter can be a bit abrasive. Especially when you want to sample and he's certain you're going to fuck up a cd just by breathing on it.

Anyhow, the cynic in me is weary of the "urban, eclectic, artsy vibe" that Chicago is supposed to embody. I've learned that it's possible to be overly inundated by a community of roguish artistes, and frankly, at this point they can unceremoniously blow me. Chicagoans are always trying to go that next step further, break that next boundary, advance the avant garde. This assault on the intellect and senses has personally left me desensitized and apathetic.

I've decided that creativity is masturbatory, overdone, and often ineffective.

GIVE UP. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL.

Welcome to Chicago!

I don't think Chicago is alone in that at all. Better that, than a community that has little-to-nothing to offer in the way of art.
