The Polls are in: Summer '07= Ribs & Hip-Hop

Well, it's official... Hip-hop is "in" for the summer. A brief stroll around Wicker Park confirmed it this Memorial Day Weekend, when they were blasting Clipse in Reckless, Company Flow in Una Mae's, and... I don't know, some garbage in Urban Outfitters. I responded to the trend accordingly. A glimpse of the shuffle:



I mean, I don't want to be the guy that bucks every trend, but I really love hip-hop, and I hate when it comes into fashion every three years or so, and I have to listen to some fake-ass, desperately intellectual hipsters tell me what I'm supposed to like about it.

With that rant off my chest, I should mention that Memorial Day itself was excellent, in large part due to my friend Tsha and her mother, who cooked up this ridiculous meal for Josh and Myself. There may have been other people present as well, but my attention was locked on the meat, like Chewbacca on Endor. Luckily, Josh keeps a mini buzz-saw in his pocket, so we were able bail.
