<description>&lt;p&gt;As his ex, I&apos;d like to point out he skipped a couple of highlights.  Namely the family of mice that scurry behind the oven, the constantly empty refrigerator combined with a sink overflowing with dishes (from said balsamic vinegar cupcakes) and the trunk, something I never had the guts to open for fear the stench I smelled was actually a dead body. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Or at my apartment on the sunny side of Milwaukee Avenue!

Not to be missed to any visit of Wicker Park, Patrick&apos;s apartment houses one angry service industry employee/cartoonist/political operative who apparently never has alcohol on hand. On most weekday nights, you can find him cheating to beat someone in MLB 2K8 on the XBox or forcing someone to watch a phenomenally obscure stand-up comedian you&apos;ve never heard of. Or he may have just finished cooking some crazy ass cupcake flavored with balsamic vinegar. But on Wednesdays, it&apos;s just him, &quot;Top Chef&quot;, and a microwaved honeydew melon.

Guests of the &quot;Patcave&quot; will notice the tinge of b.o. in the air as Patrick hates doing laundry. The decor could generously be referred to as &quot;eclectic&quot; and more realistically called &quot;homeless squatter&quot;. Seated on a futon (of Swedish design) that has grown squished and distended over the years of supporting Patrick&apos;s ample frame, the host holds court over lengthy &quot;Parisian salon style&quot; discussions such as &quot;The nature of mind in a modern Western society&quot;, &quot;Garfield&apos;s Jim Davis can suck my cock&quot;, and &quot;Why I&apos;m incapable of ever deserving love&quot;. Even the heartiest of thrill-seekers may be encouraged to avoid the topic of Dane Cook or Carlos Mencia.

BYOB. Be sure to inquire about the bathroom meth lab. Reservations not required, but encouraged.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
