It’s jost van dyke.

jar jar.

And don’t worry, february will be here (and there) soon enough take the Illinois to the Mississippi, then meet me in Key West and we’ll join rafts to head down to the Caribe.

I don’t doubt it for a minute Carlos but I have to say there’s no place I’d rather be than right here right now mon frere. This is the best time of the year to be in Chi-town and the Sonny Rollins concert last night exemplified it – the whole town was out on the grass and he put on an excellent show (I guess folks realized they could catch hometown boy Obama’s speech on the internet).

Now if you had posted this in February I would have been compelled to abandon my family; build a raft out of garbage; and float to Jost Van Dyke!

And W, Ivan’s is cool, but it’s no Foxy’s.

From the Jost Van Dyke Wiki: “Ivan’s Stress-Free Bar, more often than not unstaffed, it is common practice for patrons to walk behind the bar, mix their own drinks, and leave a discretionary sum of money in the jar as payment.”
