Cat finally came back so I have an adventure partner again! Since I didn't have to work today we decided to go Occupy Wall Street for a few minutes. First we went to get lunch at Chicago's favorite sandwich joint
Potbelly. The line was all the way out the door and wound around inside, so I thought this place must be really fantastic. But it was just a regular old sandwich place - definitely no Grand Central Bakery! (Still thinking about that sandwich from Cate's wedding!) I got a meatball sub. I would have preferred more sauce, but it was good. Would I wait in line again? Probably not, but it was fun to see how Chicagies eat!
Then we continued on our way to Zuccotti Park to see the protesters. Mainly they just looked like dirty hippie bums. They had set up their own little library and market. There were lots of interviews going on. I wanted to hear chanting and the like, but there was none of that. There was a lot of drum playing, which you would expect from a bunch of hippies. Everyone seemed very relaxed. The cops joked around with us (although there was no water gun fighting). I bought a button to put on my purse. I hope they have another march soon where more normal, groomed people can come out to show support! I think it'll be hard for most of the people there right now to be taken seriously!

I'm glad to get your report on Wall Street and that Cat is back in town!
I think it will be really hard to beat those sandwiches Cate and Matt had at their wedding. They were wonderful.
I forgot to say I loved the name Potbelly for a sandwich.
