Hey Chicagoans! I thought I'd let you know about this, as you never know who'd be interested. My coworker Aimee is taking belly dance lessons, and she informed me that her teacher performs at Sigara's this Friday at 10 p.m. The place is a hookah bar, which I thought might appeal to some of you. Also, it's BYOB, which I thought you'd want to know in case you go. Anyway, just letting you know of something a little different for your Friday night.
In other news, my throat still hurts a lot. Bah! Stupid sore throat! I'm now sucking back Ricola herb throat drops like crazy. What fun.

Not that there is anything wrong or right about Hookah bars...they're just there, I just wonder why they're so "hip" all of a sudden.
(The always wirling bullshit thoery engine in my head that makes wild unfounded guesses about ANYTHING I ask it says: Since California and NYC instituted no smoking rules in bars, Hookah bars there have somehow managed to be a loophole way for people to get their nicotine in a fancy yuppie bar setting, and the rest of the country is just following along because Cali and NYC set the "hipness" rules.)

b) A hookah (a steady bleed of smoke) is nothing like a bong (one big hit).
I have no experience with hookahs and am no bong expert. I only say what I've been told.
