Blue skies, puffs of clouds, a thankless breeze every now and then, The Fella and I kicked back to the acoustic strains of Matthew Santos. Chicago magazine threw a Stella Summer Music Series event tonight at Citizen Rooftop in River North. It's one of my favorite rooftops – god knows Chicagoans sure love their rooftops – because it's completely non-pretentious and laid-back, a rooftop that has a neighborhood feel. Citizen's not the usual downtown Chicago rooftop scene, in fact devoted regulars are usually those who live or work nearby, including myself.

We spent the evening after work enjoying complimentary Stellas (mostly The Fella enjoyed them, I just sipped), perusing copies of Chicago magazine, while listening to Matthew Santos live. It felt like we were just hanging out on a good friend's backyard deck, nothing fancy but just right. A great Wednesday evening.
P.S. If you don't know who Matthew Santos is, you really need to check him out soon. He's absolutely phenomenal.
