29. See more smart movies in the theater.

I saw The Secret Life of Pets, and, since I hate loud noises and I don’t speak tween, it was the hardest I’ve worked to understand something all year. Kids were cracking up all around me and I was shout-whispering, “WHAT HE SAY?” and “WHO IS THAT?” the entire time. I’m pretty sure it was about a cat.

30. Go to Grown Folks Stories every month.

Storytelling is a big thing in Chicago. We have poets and tons of comedians, but there’s also a huge assortment of people in the city who get up on stages in bars and the back of bookstores and tell compelling, sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking stories from their lives. Anyway, my friend Cara hosts the best story night in town, Grown Folks Stories, and that shit is basically my 1997 dreams actualized: dudes in headwraps wearing chunky silver rings, with their top five shirt buttons undone, sing-speaking about the superficially deep concerns of our third eyes and mortal souls. I always feel like an asshole when I go, because my stories are all about shit and piss and licking butts, but I really do like being trapped in close quarters with a hundred people who smell like incense wearing ankhs. But it goes down at eight on Thursday nights, and I usually reserve that time for looking at pictures of nachos on the internet while eating steamed broccoli and trying to come up with reasons not to step off the curb in front of a bus, so I don’t make it that often.
