DOUBLE INDIGO 666 WORLD TOUR
-
The 666SII have been busy- lots of work and lots of life over the last few months! We thought we'd say hi with a food and fun update-
In the Chicago area, we take our pizza seriously. Without getting preachy and obsessive, Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, but there is much more to it than that- what makes Chicago a great pizza city isn't just deep dish- it's the variety of different pizza types that you can get! Stuffed pizza is my personal favorite- it's pizza that has both a top and bottom crust, with cheese and toppings in the middle. Sauce is then spooned over the top crust prior to baking. It's an intense dish, and eaten with a fork and knife. Deep dish is what it sounds like- single crust, a thick layer of cheese and ingredients, and depending on the restaurant, the sauce can go above or below the top layer of cheese. Here's a nice stuffed pizza from a local place- my wife was out of town, so I got my favorite- stuffed with mushrooms, onions, green peppers, half sausage, and half Italian beef.
To be clear though, if you just order a regular pizza in Chicago, you don't get stuffed or deep dish. You get a nice, flat, square cut pizza with a slightly crispy crust. The pie we ordered a couple of weeks later for reference- same local joint as above, a regular pizza with Italian beef and giardineria:
The weather's been slowly warming up, so it's been great to get the kids out and go for some walks.
Elliott was amazed at the lights in one of our local spots!

A good chunk of our time is always spent on hands and knees though- the 666SII are definitely having some knee fades setting in, which I'll be sure to document soon- a little play time for now-
Man cannot live on pizza alone. My wife made up a nice wine, cheese, and fruit dinner…
A few nights ago, I got to go to a local guitar nerd gathering- Gear and Beer. Here's my contribution- a little bit of local pride here.
It's been a crazy spring so far, and the kids have been loving watching all the changes!

Fantastic update with wonderful pics. Thanks dude. When do the jeans move on and who to?
If memory serves, the second round through the US is getting close to finished. @sabergirl deferred, last summer. @Fadez passed, a few months back, due to conflicts with other tours. @Matty123 also offered to take a turn. If either of those 3 are in, they've still got a home in the states. If not, they should be heading back across the pond.

I’m up next on the 888 chocolate world tour so I can’t take these but I’d like to at some point if it’s possible.

Another great update! I’m willing to take another crack at them, now, if the thigh will still fit! Do you mind taking a quick measurement, Adman?

I’m not at home at the moment, but as soon as I get the chance, i’ll get the measurements to you!

Whoa, thanks for the measurements. 12” thigh is way too tight for me. No can do. I’m surprised they’ve shrank that much, actually.

It might be a good idea to double check because that sounds like over an inch of shrinkage, and at this stage of the game I don’t see how that could happen. I wore them about three months ago and I couldn’t wear a 12 inch thigh even when I was 15 years old.

I'd have to agree with rechecking the measurement. I had them, late last year, and the thigh was at 12.75"(washed), before I sent them off to @DrBabyhorse . With the amount of wear and washing this pair has been through, over the past 2+ years, I'm certain all shrinkage was achieved some time ago.

Ok, I've rewatched the helpful video on how to measure, checked the phase of the moon and the tide charts, got plenty of sleep, and took a B12, and yup, looks like I messed up the initial thigh measurement. It's 12 5/8" inches. Or 12.625" for those who fancy mixing up the English system with decimal points.
Either way, I must've had a brain fart, so my apologies! @sabergirl , might that work better for you? Thanks @Giles and @scooter for the heads up!
