Paris and I spent a few days in Minneapolis. We are “city shopping”. It’s like trying to find the right pair of jeans. Minneapolis scores 99% on our criteria checklist. The only thing keeping the city from 100% is its proximity to other cities.

I am in the process of applying to four MFA programs; Yale, Cornell, Minneapolis College of Art & Design (MCAD) and Columbia Chicago. Next week I am visiting New Haven.

Exciting times.

We drove with Ben out to Iowa because it was awful having him leave the city (cue Magnolia Electric). We wanted a few extra days with the guy so we went out there for a seriously memorable weekend. You don’t even care how much fun we had so I won’t bother you with the details, but this little place was a real treat three-quarters of the way from Chicago to Iowa City.

They call it Nopoulos because some Greeks went out to Iowa a couple hundred years ago to open up a soda fountain shop. Not surprisingly they did a real fine job and the place hasn’t closed since. This place is actually the oldest ice cream slash soda fountain shop in the whole of North America, no kidding.

The guy behind the counter made fun of my shoes and I still don’t get the joke.
