'Hoods #9: Ukrainian Village Feb 13 2011

On Feb 13 2011 we hit 'Hoods #9
Ukrainian Village!
I planned this one.

Participants: Julie, Neal, Kelly, Bill, William, Jeremy L, Ed, Kate

Highlights: When the director of the Ukrainian Culture museum freaked out when
         he saw us coming and called the front desk to see if he'd forgotten
         a planned tour (he hadn't), then he showed up to give us a private tour anyways!
        -that beautiful church with the blue dome,
        -when we went to the Ukrainian Museum of Modern Art we accidentally
         showed up at a gallery opening but they welcomed us warmly,
        -Bill and William consider that aloe drink for their tini martini party,
        -the Louis Sullivan church that was closed but when Kate opened the door
         we found an older gentleman vacuuming in his slippers and an
         apron with different pastas featured on it, who invited us in and gave us
         yet another private tour!
        -the photo booth at the Rainbo Club,
        -Nelson Algren,
        -Old Lviv Ukrainian buffet.

This one was heavy on 'Hoods magic. Heavy.
