[M.D. Holloway]

Had a little time to kill in Chicago on Monday. Dropped Cool Chick and a few others a PM to tell them I was in town - the only one to show for a few cold ones was Cool. So here is my assessment:

1) Cool Chick is definatley a women - actually a very attractive woman. I will leave it at that. But she is a hottie.
2) Cool Chick loves to talk politics, but she is not as liberal as you would think. She is more of a centrist. She has no problem with the war effort, just that the bombs are dropping on the wrong country.
3) Cool Chick has a rather unique voice - she sounds like she could be a lounge singer. Kinda on the deep side, a bit raspy and fluid at the same time - only achieved after years of smokes and whiskeys and non-stop political banter.
4) Cool Chick can not sing. Although you would think her voice could carry a blues piece, she has no tonal intuition. Sorry Cool - your a hottie but you really can't sing!
5) You get the sense that she has way more friends that are guys than girls. She seems like one of the girls you grew-up with in your neighborhood that was a tom-boy then when she got to high school she became this pretty girl that didn't know she was pretty. Cool seems like she is that sort of chick.
6) Cool loves politics - oh, I said that already.

Given the chance to meet her in person was pretty cool. I've had the opportunity to meet several folks on this site. Cool Chick is the coolest chick. If ever you get to Chicago, drop her a PM, buy her a glass of white wine (whine) and let her prattle on. It is easier to listen to her rants than to read them!
