so, i'm in the medill newsroom. i tried to leave about 20 minutes ago to get home, but i could not. because i am in the middle of this. and it is literally a wall of humans and it is impossible to move. i spent 10 minutes going 10 feet and gave up when i saw from a distance that my el stop appears to be servicing approximately 12 gazillion people right now. i mean, i'm all about immigrant rights. but what about catherine's right to get home, have a beer and see the belle & sebastian concert? gah.

see, this is what i was dealing with:

more photos at my flickr stream of the enormous crowd.

but, you will be so relieved to know, i eventually was able to escape the clutches of the newsroom and make it to the new pornographers/belle & sebastian show. a full report to come tomorrow. but for now, i say this: ONE SONG OFF OF IYFS? SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY?!

gnight.

Or does this seem really, really stupid?

I suppose I shouldn't be the one to cast the first stone — I'm more guilty than most of turning hilarious-while-drunk-isms into websites. But the hilarity:effort ratio here seems pretty goddamn low.
