OK - I am going to give up on my NaBloPoMo theme of favorite blogs. While I do have a couple of others that I would like to get to, I don't think I've got 20 and I am having a heck of a time writing them.
I am still planning on continuing with NaBlahBlah though - I have kept up with the daily posting, and a theme isn't required so I am still "in it" You may recall that I ended up ditching my theme last year as well. Next year I'll know better.
I do want to take an opportunity to give an honorary mention to some of my favorites that didn't get their own write up and I probably won't get to by end of month. That doesn't make them any less important or enjoyable.
ThoughtSparks - Phil was one of the first bloggers I met and I really enjoy his writing and no-nonsense take on things. He's a busy one so it doesn't get updated often enough, but it will remain in my reader so I can catch his updates when he posts them.
Port 16 - Mike covers some things tech, some things fun, some grilling things and all points in between. He is also one of the guys behind Two Guys Tech.
Interesting Observations - Pearl over at Interesting Observations offers up just that. She says she focuses on general life skills but to me her blog is about feeling and doing good. It's inspiring without being preachy, and I am always thrilled to see a new post appear in my reader.
Stick Figure Lis - I really wish Lis posted more often as her blog is just a riot. Not sure where she finds the stuff she posts but I love it. This was a particular recent favorite. Her Stick Figures are also a highlight.
Maxwell The Tattooed Boy - I never know what Elle's posts are going to be about, but that is what makes this such fun to read. A great entrecard find!!
These are some of my favorites, what are yours?

Best blog title of the month, no matter how many other blogs I visit.
Hey, I know this is like totally last-minute...but some buddies and I are heading to Schaumburg tomorrow night for a Y&T show at Chicago City Limits. (yes, you read that right. I'm driving three hours to see....Y&T. my buddy's a big fan, and I'm going along just for the experience of hearing "Summertime Girls" live...and for the road-trip) Just curious if you have any "must-eat" places to offer in the Schaumburg area. A good brewpub with decent food would be cool, but any suggestions you may have would be great.
Thanks!
I'm checking in with my cousin who lives in Schaumburg to see if she has any recommendations for you - I'm not familiar enough with the area to know more than the chains. Hopefully I hear back from her in time.
Y&T huh? I haven't heard about them in ages. I can't talk though, I was just looking earlier this week to see if Zebra ever plays around here.
