C.R.E.A.M. - casual rules everything around me
labor day weekend was money. for as much nothing as we did, we are certainly worn out. friday we started by busting out of work early and doing a little light shopping with that guy rob, pro-dejiner and all around trouble maker. after we parted ways the c.u. staff went to humboldt park and bought miss casual a new bike. a bianchi pista actually, covered in chrome and glittering like the sun. it makes her so fast stars fly out behind her when she rides it. as a boy on the path said, ‘its a lot of chrome.’ miss casual thinks now she will petition our favorite viking and triathalete to start a bianchi biker gang.
so saturday the c.u. staff took the new toy out for a spin to hyde park to go to the bookstore. ms. ultimate was on a quest for textbooks with ugly 70’s covers and frozen lemonade. on the way we ran into tiger and lyrica rollerblading to jazzfest and passed rose on her bike headed the same way. after another long ride sunday morning and business casual practice the c.u. staff grabbed the keg and hightailed for the northside wearing our new miss casual and ms. ultimate shirts respectively.
the labor day bbq chez ultimate was epic in scope and consequence. new laws were passed (this fall vote prop. 69), new friends were made, and thanks to treem, aaron and ashley dart gun wars were fought and lost. sally is a deadly shot. after taking over the block party and playing some home run derby, the casual crew retired to the back yard. props to everyone who came and brought goodies; it was good times and the BBQ is now officially an annual event.
that said, things got crazy and we can’t be sure where the trouble began - bridget and her bourbon, pfil et al with their demon juice (sparxx) or mini and his pbr - but pants were exchanged. the C.U. staff, after getting all hopped up on caffeine and candy flavored malt liquor, abandoned ship for hopleaf. ms. ultimate and bg took a detour through the cemetary and then we picked up mike d on the way to carol’s for swing dancing and legislation. mike is the head of the new c.u. politicy think tank. he is accepting applications for interns. here’s your new boss: 
so after a late night and some more dancing in the kitchen back at the manor, the c.u. staff woke up to find out the shocking news that crocodile hunter had passed away. miss casual shot some mf’in dinosaurs later with bg in his honor. it took us seven hours of well crafted planning and execution to go see talladega nights and get pizza with bg and pfil on monday. this is obviously why we have established a think tank. we cant do it alone.
happy tuesday,
C&U

[…] the silver lining to this cloud is ms. ulty who gave me a big hug and took me with her for dollar burgers at bar louie with treem and aaron. you might remember them from such posts as ‘dart gun wars on labor day’ or ‘i laughed til my spleen hurt’. they made my brutal day a little brighter. hopefully theyll make it to happy hour friday after they brave critical mass.
