  • Heavy Metal Krist 7 years ago on Drunk On The Run: A Tribute To The Roadie

    If you ever get to take kids out trick or treating, you can have more fun than them by bringing a beer to walk around the neighborhood with to drink and send cheers to other adults who are doing the same (Bonus points if there’s a house that gives beers to parents).

  • Heavy Metal Krist 7 years ago on Why Am I Connected With People I Don't Really Know Anymore?

    I never unfriend anyone on Facebook because 1) I’m lazy 2) Leaving those people as “friends” is harmless, imo and 3) Apparently quite a few of them read my articles when I share them, even if they don’t comment or leave a like. And the few times I run into those people at hometown bars or wherever, they compliment me and say they enjoy reading my stuff, which is kind of flattering. So I just keep everyone. I’m sure Dave & Co. appreciate the extra 10 page views coming from my loyal following in Will County, Illinois.

  • Heavy Metal Krist 7 years ago on This Weekend In Fun: Cinco de Mayo

    Our goon squad is currently en route to Louisville for the Derby. Hitting up whatever bars catch our eyes tonight (Likely on Fourth Street). Tomorrow you can find me in the Churchill Downs infield. Go Gunnevera. Let’s get rich.

  • Heavy Metal Krist 7 years ago on So, How About That Google Doc Phishing Scam?

    UPDATE 5:37 A friend of mine who works in computer sciences offered remediation steps you can take to protect your Google account in the event that you did click on this link. He says:

    “Basically, just change your google account password. Then, go to myaccount.google.com, and browse to the “Apps connected to your account”. From here, just unauthorize “Google Docs”. You’ll likely have to log in again and reauthorize Google Docs (real) next time, but that’s not hard. There are also two-factor authentication methods that could be added in these events. In that, even if someone has your password, they would need to have your USB device, mobile phone, etc. to pass the second check.”

  • Heavy Metal Krist 7 years ago on Thursday At The Masters Live Blog From Hooters

    Re: Douchebag Bars– You could map out that crawl in each Chicago neighborhood, but since I live in Wrigley I’ll do that. Going northbound on Clark Street from Cornelia, go to Deuce’s first, then stumble directly across the street to Old Crow, hit up Barleycorn next (Probably the most douchey in Wrigleyville, which is really saying something), then end it in Slugger’s so Dillon can go in the batting cages and show off his athletic prowess (Plus, what’s better than a bunch of blacked out bros congregating together with metal bats in an enclosed area at two in the morning?)

    You could really do this in any order since all these bars are on the same city-block radius (If you do the exact opposite of what I laid out you can walk a block down from Deuce’s and get drunk food at Dimo’s Pizza), but I definitely nominate those four. Especially from that neighborhood.

  • Heavy Metal Krist 7 years ago on What Kurt Cobain Still Means To Me

    Whenever the topic of bilingualism or taking foreign languages in school comes up, I cite my ability to rap and translate the Spanish verses in that song as my credentials. It’s all I need, really. Great song, too.

    Saint Patrick’s celebration in Chicago tomorrow. Going to a party early at an apartment that oversees the Chicago River to watch it get dyed green, something I haven’t seen in-person in eons. Then heading back up to Wrigleyville/Lakeview to go whatever way the winds blow, likely somewhere where I can watch all the college games and gamble recklessly on them.

    The Scaries on Sunday will be epic and unparalleled, but that’s for Sunday Krist to worry about.

  • Heavy Metal Krist 7 years ago on Morning Coffee Thoughts

    IT’S MARCH, MOTHERFUCKERS.

    WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP, IT’S THE FIRST OF THE MONTH, WHICH MEANS MY DIRECT DEPOSIT SHOULD CLEAR INTO MY BANK ACCOUNT TODAY. GET MONEY.

    NOT LETTING THAT AFFECT MY PERFORMANCE THOUGH. IT’S A NEW MONTH, SO THERE’S NEW DEALS TO CLOSE AND MORE CONTENT TO CREATE TO EARN THAT NEXT PAYCHECK. STAY HUNGRY.

    ALSO TODAY IS ASH WEDNESDAY, THE BEGINNING OF LENT. WHO’S READY FOR FORTY DAYS OF FOCUSED SELF IMPROVEMENT?? I SURE AS HELL AM. LETS DOMINATE MARCH, EVERYONE

    Going to the Madhouse tomorrow to attend a Blackhawks game for the first time in years and I’m stoked. For my money they’re the best in-person sporting events you can go to. Got Monday off for President’s Day too so expect some Sunday Funday action.

    Let’s get after it this weekend. Queue Dagger.
