Oooh, Pretty...
Cloud Gate, known colloquially as "The Bean," in Chicago's Millenium Park. It's huge, it's shiny, and it's kind of weird, all of which in my book add up to... Oooh, Pretty!!!

About Me
- Name: Clinton
- Location: Arlington, Texas, United States
I'm a guy who drinks a lot, writes a blog, lives in Arlington, TX, dresses shabbily, will probably mooch off you, likes horror movies, and wishes he had a lot of money so he didn't so much have to work anymore. Anything else you want to know? Just ask. I am an open book, or at the very least an open beer.

I wish NYC had more crazy art like this laying around town.
From that angle, it reminds me of the spaceship in Flight of the Navigator..... I'm a huge loser.
This is my favorite edition of ooohhh pretty!
love it!

Speaking of Ooh, Pretties (kind of), that plastination (or however you spell that) exhibit "Body Works" from Chicago is coming here to St. Louis' Science Center this October. That should be interesting....
Jeff... Word. Chicago had TONS of weird art all over the place. It was very cool.
Scott... TOTALLY!!! That's exactly what I said when I saw it the first time in Chicago. Great minds think alike.
Jew... Glad you like. Or, rather, glad Jew like.
Giggleloop... The Bodyworks thing is weird, but definitely something worth checking out. I caught it with my folks when I was back in the D/FW area for Xmas and... well, it's certainly got a lot of gross dead things on display. I'll give it that.
Yeah, some of my friends saw it in Chicago, and I've seen bits of it on TV from time to time. Not sure if I could stomach seeing it in person though...
I was in Chicago last week and checked it out. Pretty damn impressive, especially when you get up close and can't find any seams on it. Given the seagulls and stuff, though, I was wondering how they keep the thing clean? Aside from lots of handprint smudges, it looked pretty pristine.
Hey, nice profile photo, btw...
Ha ok you can so tell this is an archived post by the fact that if you visit the bean right now, you will never get a moment with only two people by it. Seriously, been there at several different obscure hours, always packed. They also have a sweet building in the park that projects faces over a waterfall on the side. Yes it's very odd, but still ooooh, pretty!
