Lincoln (Ave) and Kennedy (Meg): A History Mystery
History Mystery
Have a member of Hugs and Pullups explain this — if they can.
– Both bear a striking resemblance to a tall, white, assassinated president (see article below)
– Both have seven letters in their name (and three in the parentheses in this post)
– Both have changed from their original name (Little Fort Road / Marianna)
– Both get rave reviews from yelp!
– Both reluctantly go to Skokie when necessary
– Both have jealousy issues with Halsted
– Both could take on Fullerton in a rumble if it came down to it
– Both simply cannot get enough of dive bars
Now it gets really weird.
– Both began as an Indian trail
– Both were elected Prom Queen in 2002
– Both are a major diagonal thoroughfare of the north side of Chicago
– Both used to have a fish named “Hectic”
– Both totally thought the previous post was about them when they read the title
– Both apparently have a big ego that they thought that
– Both have a show at the de Maat Theatre at Second City tonight at 10:30pm!
– Both realize that the last fact was cheesy, but will type it regardless

As a child, Nicholas Cage spent a lot of time in a castle imagining he was a submarine captain. Also, he did not have a lot of friends.
More Nicholas Cage fodder! You can’t not love this video. The man is a caricature of himself doing an impression of someone doing an impression of Nicholas Cage. But doesn’t know it.
50 Cent removed his tattoos and lost 50 pounds for his latest film. Vabs did the same thing for our upcoming Studio BE run.
Hugs and Pullups begins an 8 week run at Studio BE THIS MONDAY, MAY 31st at 8 pm! Only $5! Vabs will wear this outfit and Courtney will dress like 50 Cent.
We’re so excited, we’re so excited, we’re so scared
Ok, well at least we’re so excited. The HnP 8 week run at Studio BE (3110 N. Sheffield Ave.) begins THIS MONDAY, May 31st, 8 PM, only $5.
We promise we won’t get addicted to caffeine pills like Jesse Spano. Joe’s already got a serious crank habit we’re trying break.

Happy Slavonic Literature and Culture Day, Russian HnP fans! And non-Russian fans who enjoy Slavonic Literature and Culture!
