  In the early aughts, living in a series of extremely cheap and decrepit apartments on the edge of an industrial corridor, I was an unwitting participant in a wave of gentrification that has since subsumed the area. All the empty lots mentioned here are now condos; the moused-up punk houses were razed for redevelopment and now exist only in collective memory. I was not yet a professional writer but mapped that dream often.
  I was hardly ever without my friends. This is as much about their lives in that particular time and space as it is my own.
  We met up on bikes while the sun was going down. The movie was terrible—great, lobotomizing fun. Back on the bike. The boys went home, I went to Kinko's and saw my bandmate Al, who had sweated through his shirt with coffee-fueled anxiety, as usual. I went over to Jr's for a lemonade, stole two cigarettes, borrowed a Gil Scott-Heron record, we left. Back on the bike.
  I held Jr's bike while he went into the liquor store. Kids who really were just kids, rolling en masse (a Denali, a Celica, a tricked-out Cutlass) hung in the parking lot and greeted one another with a fluid and immaculate shake—butterfly hands that surrendered into a chest pound below the chains. A gentrified local exited the store and wiped out flat on his back in a puddle, soiling his pleat-fronts and splintering his twelve-pack of Lite. Everyone laughed, including me.

  Stayed another forty minutes, by apathy and by accident, a result of having an interminable string of ninety-second conversations with people whose names I should know by now. They all seemed surprised to see me and inquired about what I am doing in town, which made me feel both hermetic and worldly, as if spending a few weeks at a time in Minnesota were equivalent to "living abroad." It is, perhaps, the deepest dream come true of most notorious me: no one actually thinks I live here anymore.
  Things livened up considerably once Ralph, DBA Major Taylor, hit the decks. It's nice to feel the skilled caress of a DJ who cuts the hit by the bridge and gets you to the next song, better than the last. No fourteen seconds of silence followed by a techno remix of an ironic and terrible pop song that indicates the DJ cannot actually tell the difference between good techno and bad techno because it's all just "dance" music to them. And that's usually followed by the forever shit-sandwich of Billy Idol/the Rapture/the Cars—all the bands that make me wish for Old-Testament god to hurry up and exact his wrath on us already. All this more than made up for opening his set with "O.P.P," which I view as the sort of song you only play at wedding receptions when the barf-drunk bridesmaids are shoeless and slipping around the parquet in their nude hose.
  I spent the rest of the time tonguing Tootsie Rolls out of my molars and casually watching the bathroom lines, getting angry and sad (and various toxic combinations of the two) as people I knew, including some bona fide friends, shuffled two-by-two into the men's and ladies' rooms and came out sniffing, mechanically jittery, and grinding their teeth. I abandoned my witness seat, pocketed the rest of the Tootsie Rolls, cheek-kissed those I came with, and retreated home. Watching the smart and talented trying to stave off the reality of their thirties with a Similac-cut bump really gets me down.
  Tonight I went to this Lollapalooza fundraiser for the Chicago Parks where two-hundred-odd people paid between $350 and $15,000 to be able to sit on white leather couches in front of the Petrillo band shell and talk through Spoon's set while enjoying bottle service. Perry Farrell introduced them and big-upped the community and the good vibes of Lolla and the spirit of the fundraiser, which pays for new bushes for the city. Thanks, Perr! Shrubs for life!

All the babies in my neighborhood are stripped to visors and diapers, slicking the arms of the women protectors with their stinkless baby sweat. The man with the Michoacán cart has his shirt open, baring a portrait on his chest of what might be a grey panther head or a map of Oahu or dress socks in a pile. Shirtless men will soon be drunk or fighting, as that is what the weather dictates.
  Here at Casa Hopper, we are celebrating Holy Week by taking the plastic off the windows and trying to pry them open. We discovered last week that the man at the hardware sold us the wrong kind of Seal 'N Peel caulking and that we have evidently sealed ourselves in with some permanence. We now spend warmer mornings working away at it with our sharpest knife, contemplating our own idiocy.
  The best part of coming home is flying over the inky lake at night and suddenly you can see exactly where Chicago begins and ends by the vast gridlay of the amber street lights.
  I am also in the debt of my friends who appear throughout these stories, for both their kindness and companionship, then and still.
