This is one of the reasons why I love working in downtown Chicago.

As I exited Ogilvie Station, I came just to the point on Madison avenue where it crosses the Chicago River.... and there were angels everywhere. Dressed in white polos or button-downs or dresses, there were angels everywhere I looked.

A few of the angels were handing out playbills for Cirque du Soleil's new show Corteo, but there were angels all about doing everyday things: angels smoking, sitting on a bench chatting, drinking a coffee, tourist angels taking pictures, an angel bopping to an iPod.

I think it was the most sublimely beautiful thing I've seen in a long time.

Angels in everyone and everyone in the angels.

Sounds like there was a gas leak at Ogilvie Station to me. Have you come down yet?

Please note:

"A few of the angels were handing out playbills for Cirque du Soleil's new show Corteo"

The rest were just slacking, but it was in its own way art.

So it sounds like you're still flying.

Ever see The Tick cartoon series?

You're just like the villain Sarcastro.

I've only seen most of the animated and most of the live action TV stuff. Don't know Sarcastro, but he sounds hot.

Will they ever resolve the legal mumbo-jumbo and release it on DVD?
Grrr...

SPOON!

I'm discovering The Tick goodness all over again with Tivo and the cable "Nickelodean" channel at twilight hours.

And yet another reason to get cable (with TiVo).
One day.. though it's been a long time since I've had it. :)

You're without TiVo? Omg, you poor thing.

The first season of The Tick animated series comes out in Aug. It is minus one episode that they had to be cut out due to some silly legal issue.
