By nature, I’m a bit of a night owl. I don’t usually go to bed before 3am and often times its later than that. One of the great things about living in a city is that things are open late. There’s a great 4am (closing time) dive bar that I frequent every so often, that unfortunately does not have a great jukebox. It’s not bad…it’s just not great.

Everytime I’ve been there though, someone always puts on the Rolling Stones. And everytime I hear them, I think to myself: “Man, I really like the Rolling Stones!” They’re just a completely classic band whose songs somehow retain their relevancy in this day and age. So, I thought I’d post some songs from a 4cd bootleg of theirs, one from each disc.

Went to the “Maxwell Street Markets” for the first time in a long time. It was awesome. Usually when I’d been there, it was to peruse the wares from the street vendors, but this time I went for the food. The food there is almost impossible to ignore. There’re mobile kitchens almost every other tent and the smells premeate the air. The food is predominantly Mexican, but very traditional. Most of the stands made their own corn tortillas right on site and cooked them on flat steel pans. Me and my lady friend feasted on huitlacoche tacos (huitlacoche is a very unappealing looking, but very tasty corn fungus) for the first time. They were great and exhibited a slightly sour taste with a great combination of spices. Also had some potato tacos and absolutely killer chicken tamales.

So if for some reason your comments aren’t showing up, that’s probably why. I apologize for the inconvenience, but if I didn’t have this in place than the spam would be totally unmanageable…
