It feels absolutely weird to be telling you all this, but, um, we'll be speaking about our bungalow and houseblogging for the
West Ridge Bungalow Neighbors Meeting next week here in Chicago. They were kind enough to invite us and we were flattered enough to accept. Their meetings are open to the public and they are REALLY nice folks.

Here is the information if you want to come out and make fun of us for being such hopeless geeks. Plus, you know, we'd love to meet you!
Tuesday, April 10
West Ridge Bungalow Neighbors meeting
7:00 p.m. at the
Northtown Library in Chicago
We'll have the old laptop with us and we'll be sharing some information about houseblogging, our bungalow and online resources for old house lovers. I'll also try to bring some of the artifacts that we've found in the house related to bungalows and Chicago if that is of interest. There will be photos and a presentation with graphics. There might be video.
And we'll do our best to make it entertaining. Even if I have to do a tap dance while singing about our
smelly basement drains, I'll do it. I promise. Or perhaps that is a threat. You can decide.

Last weekend my pull-chain bathroom light in my twenties bungalow sputtered and died. Not a big problem except no one seems to stock bath fixtures with integral on/off switches. The light that failed was still made but not with an integral switch. By dumb luck I found two Koch + Lowy lights at a garage sale for $8! These were new-in-the-box, thickly chromed, and not only had a switch but also a dimmer. Much better quality than the unit replaced.

Remember: audience + underwear = easy public speaking. Give 'em hell!
Or no, wait, you like these people - well then, give 'em heaven! Or whatever...
Have fun, I'm saying. Good luck!

Thanks EGE :) I'll definitely work the underwear advice!
