Hey...this is one of those "it's a small world" instances.  Lou 
Malnati's is GREAT...I fully concur!
And...if you like seafood, I HIGHLY suggest Shaw's Crab House.  I used 
to hate most seafood...until I ate there!

I would like to respond to Mr. Korb's email.

First, if anyone wants a local party to check this thing out,
let me know and I can give you a full report. Just clear it with
the guy & call me at (630) 963-0557; I can go anytime (my name is
Dave).

Now the important stuff:
1. Lou Malnati's isn't considered very authentic Chicago pizza by 
locals/purists I don't think.  But if that's what you like, I don't
have a different recommendation.
2. I don't think there's anything interesting w/in 4-500 miles of
Chicago... just farm country (and the lakes in WI).  Notre Dame?
What do you do there besides go to church or something?

Hmm - bidding ended for this item because it is no longer for
sale.  

These Mellotron auctions are funny:
- half of them are a hoax
- half of them are in Europe
- half of the auctions end prematurely (exageration, yes)

What gives?  I monitor eBay for electric Harpsichords, GMS
snare drums, and cheap, Chinese-made microphones - all of
these items are about as obscure/rare - yet the auctions
procede in a fairly normal fashion.

Looks like I'll just have to buy new.

John,
 
I put #430 up on ebay a few weeks back. I ended the auction early because  
someone offered me what I wanted for it. I was comfortable with the price and  
didn't feel like waiting. The buyer was not a bidder. ebay makes me nuts.
