White Sox Rally
Today there was a big rally downtown for the White Sox. Part of the parade was on La Salle St. which is just 3 blocks from work. So I went down there with two coworkers to see if we could catch a glimpse at anyone. It was really crowded and we ended up being pretty far back.
On Wednesday (thanks to craigslist) I picked up a used Fuji A205. An old 2MP digital point and shoot for $35 (a good price IMHO). It's going to replace my film point and shoot that I keep in my bag 24-7. But I only have a 16MB xD card which is good for about 24 shots. So, take a camera that I have little experience with and no manual controls, add one small memory card, a big crowd, and high-contrast light and you get a bunch of "eh" photos:

Still it was fun to be there and to see the team. It's been a while since Chicago sports fans have had a lot to cheer about.
(Note, yes, I know the Chicago Fire has done really well in the past couple years)
