I'm looking forward to "Iron Man 2," primarily because of the great memories surrounding my viewing of the first "Iron Man." We went to see it as a Movie in the Park (another great Chicago summer staple that was a victim of the recession this year) last summer. We were in Rogers Park, and having walked along Sheridan to Starbucks, we then proceeded along the beach, finally settling in front of a large screen in the park as the darkness progressed.

It was an unexpectedly good movie, and a cool experience to watch it collectively with the diverse inhabitants of Rogers Park. Apparently, I was so engrossed in the film that I missed the homeless dude getting arrested by officers on bikes a couple feet away. My friends beheld the spectacle and were thoroughly amused :D

Walking home, we were accosted by a dude on a dark sidewalk looking for "models." The first words from his mouth "Hey Gorgeouses." We still laugh about that.
