Chicago Humanities Festival | Rick Steves: On the Hippie Trail!
First, some context/90s childhood memories in my quoted mini-thread:
@ricksteves.bsky.social @wttw.bsky.social #Travel #TravelWriter #TravelWriting #Book #Books
And last night I got to hear @ricksteves.bsky.social give a wonderfully inspirational talk (he got so political, in the best way, and it makes sense that someone who dedicates their life to seeing the world and meeting all sorts of people would be so wise and on the right side of history), followed
by a #book signing! And the book signing was unlike any other; instead of having people line up and wait for 45 minutes, @ricksteves.bsky.social prefers having a chaotic crowd surround him "like a mosh pit" and then he spins around and around and signs whatever's in front of him. 😂

#TBT: Me at the VIP Preview of #ArtBasel #HongKong last month. 🥂 Specifically, at the Opening Reception celebrating the launch of the Ray-Ban Lounge in the foyer of the Collectors Lounge (a lounge within a lounge and an event within an event) with a live performance by #artist Kwonny

Very interesting interview with South African Actress Charlize Theron:
Good interview. She’s makes important and revelatory connections about survival, being seen as cold bc of it, and being a woman and an actress shaped by having experienced extreme patriarchal violence.

Had such a lovely group video chat with some of my best friends from college today 🥰 The four of us all live in different time zones and the last time we did this was like 3(!) years ago (although it doesn't feel like it). A reminder to catch up with your old friends!

We’re home safe now. Well that was a new experience! (They ended up cancelling the second half of the show and will let us pick another night next week.) ~Midwest things~

(They made an announcement during intermission that this is actually the safest room in the building.) Talk about bringing down the house… 🌪️

So… I’m accompanying my parents to a play at Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, Illinois (they always get comp. tickets because they’re a part of the Yelp community ^^ it’s cute), and there’s a tornado warning and we’re sheltering in place in the theater right now.
