If in Chicago or The Real Gimp Parade

Ah, I miss the Windy City. I went to high school in that bastion of yuppieland, Naperville, which I don't miss all that much. But Chicago itself? I often feel homesick despite my Minnesotan origins.

This weekend is an excellent time to be in Chicago. The third annual Disability Pride Parade is Saturday, with a noon program in Daley Plaza, where the parade ends. Also, Saturday night there is a mini-film fest that looks exciting.

If I could be there, I'd also stop up at Women & Children First to browse, and grab some dolmeh felfel for dinner at Reza's, both in Andersonville. Ahh, Chicago!
