No Pix - Went to

No Pix - Went to the State Fair Friday night:

• Had an eggroll (Mmm, good), a Chicago dog (I'm still feeling it), and a couple of beers.
• Met Lileks for the first time in about fifteen years.
• Saw Gary Puckett briefly at the Bandshell. The guy - who had two hits in the late sixties - is a walking testimony to the Branson Cocaine Diet; in his commercial heyday, he was a pudgy guy. Friday night, he was as thin as Mick Jones in his heyday. Puckett, of course, was one of the very lowpoints of my stint in oldies radio - and he hasn't improved one iota in thirty-odd years. Note to self; next year, wait a day, see Suzy Bogguss instead.
• Had a generally low-key time. Lots of fun.

But no pictures. Or spam. Or - and I want to make sure we're perfectly clear on this count - No Pronto Pups.

But I did sort of gel with my next big million-dollar invention - the deep-fried, breaded White Castle Slider on a Stick. Look for it at the fair next year.
