Karl's Home Page was updated again. It would appear that almost daily updates might occur. The format for the Writings section has definitely changed and there are at least three different ones for your perusal. It's a new insight into Karl Nack.

Karl did dishes for the first time at Ridge Warren Sunday. Today, he moved a couch from Brooke Rosman's to Janelle Stephens place at Clark Court. Later today, he plans on getting the now available season tickets for the Northwestern Wildcats. He's getting very psyched up for the coming season, currently reading about NU's opponents, and other teams in the Big Ten.

Correction: from the Town Cryer

I don't mean to ripple any potato chips here, but the account of the post-bowling asshole encounter of August 15 is somewhat inaccurate, perhaps even SLANTED by the expected source of the story, Mr. Karl Nack himself.

Were it not for myself, the Town Cryer, the encounter would not have taken place. I paused to offer assistance to this young woman (who I had not been eyeing all night, either; she was rotund and clearly not worth the time of anyone without beer goggles). I asked repeatedly, "Is everything cool?" After I asked the second time, this thug ran up to me, shouting "It would be cool if you got outta here. I'm from the south side. I kill men for a living." To which I replied, "Kill me. I don't care. I'm drunk; I won't feel it. My nickname is Southside."

karl then placed himself between myself and this scum. Were it not for Karl, I may be dead right now. He saved my life. I also realized for the first time how much of an assett it is to have a friend who's in the navy; even if he is a bit scrawny, his military connection makes him an automatic bad-ass. At any rate, our compatriot Tom McKone also assisted in the rescue, alerting the cops and encouraging them to pursue the man as he chased down the woman for the second time.

So get your facts straight. IF anyone's the hero of this tale, it's probably me. But Karl is and shall remain my hero, anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Town Cryer

On Thursday, the Nack family went to Koehler, WI, to visit a grandmother at The American Club. Karl was nice enough to leave a $1.50 tip for a nice hick waitress with very bleached hair.

Karl updated his writing section of his web page yesterday with a poem. It's a pretty good poem, definitely showing a different, softer side of Karl. It seems personal yet can be applied universally. Four stars. Also of note, the writing section of the web page will be updated sporadically, whenever Karl feels like it.

Finally, Karl's room:

Football and Ultimate are current intriguing topics for Karl, more specifically the rules and regulations. He's creating new rules, simpler rules, for Football to make it more open like Ultimate is. Also, NCAA for the PC has Karl taking Maryland through a season. Good luck. The football theme continues with his dabbling in Java to create algorithms for a football game, and possibly an ultimate game in the future.

Karl's web page has still not been updated with last weeks writing. It doesn't look like the updates will be as regular as every friday. A notice will be posted as soon as we learn that the update has occurred, as well as a review of the writing.

Correction: It was not Christine Lancaster that came over for dinner, but Janelle Stephens. NackInTouch apologizes for the lapse in reporting and thanks those kind enough to send in the correct details.

Yesterday, Karl and his family finished up painting his room, with his father starting early around 10:30, and Karl and his mother coming in later around 12:30, which meant more sleep for Karl after a long night out. Karl also cooked dinner for Brian Shaw, Brian Bender, and Christine Lancaster, whoe were in town for a wedding. Karl made tacos in his first dinner making experience at Ridge Warren. After that Ted and Karl and a neighbor went to Baskin Robbins for some ice cream.

Friday night was dinner with his parents, and a large pitcher of Margaritas. Saturday was a Killian's Red before dinner, which consisted of a rib and some rice. Then after changing at home and returning to the Warren, Karl and friends went out for an evening of swing music and dancing at The Olive off Division on N. Northbranch. It's a pretty classy place, where he listened to Miss Midori sing some songs while sipping a Cosmopolitan and then a Manhattan. He wished he stayed away from the cocktails, in order to more fully enjoy dancing. Maybe next time Karl. Oh, and Karl drove both there and back, without killing anyone, or pissing anyone off extensively.

Karl brought one of his good friends from his pre college days to Nevin's for drinks with a couple of his roommates. Karl was the odd man out by having a pint of cider instead of Guiness as the rest did. One story from his childhood was brought to the table by his friend, the story of one Danielle.

Karl had posted a sign for anyone interested in playing some D & D at the hobby shop. Someone named Daniel responded. While the two friends were playing at Karl's House, the door rings, and the person says, 'It's Danielle'. Karl and his friend look quizzically at each other. Danielle? When Karl brought her up she was dressed in leopard skin something with fake plastic boobs with long hair. She looked like a woman, but laughed the deep gutteral laugh of a man, and ate chips like a man. And they proceeded to play. And she just wouldn't leave. There was a time she went and got soda's, but Karl and his friend couldn't leave, for it was Karl's place. Anyway she left eventually but she was 24 and the two were only 14 or so. Just a memory from Karl's childhood .

This extremely classy hotel had a lounge which followed suit. Karl and his friends were all dressed up for the occasion, and fit in well to the other well dressed patrons. First round of drinks were on the birthday boy, however, the bartender was not as knowledgable as originally assumed. He did not know how to make a bronx cocktail, or a vesper, or a floridita. After a cough syrup cocktail, a negroni, a pseudo bronx, and a sidecar which was well made, the group made it's way to the 95th floor of the John Hancock tower. The lounge was a little too touristy for the group, which then proceeded on to the Ritz Carleton. This was another classy lounge in the atrium, but the bartender there did not know the Nicky Finn so the birthday boy and friend consulted the concierge, or boys that passed as the concierge after hours about a bar in the city with well knowledged bartenders. The man spoke of a place called the Leg Room, on Clark and Diversy.

The stop there wasn't worth it, as t-shirts and shorts abounded and beer was spilled on the floor and couples made out on bar stools to loud music. Alas, a classy cocktail lounge or bar was nowhere to be found. If anyone has information, send it along so we can pass the word around to interested parties. The night ended with a check of Karl's favorite dinner and cocktail place, Daily's on Lincoln. But it was closed at 1:37 AM sunday morning. Returning to Ridge Warren tired but not without hope, Karl and friends retired for the night with a couple glasses of milk for Karl, and some entertainment provided by Tekken 3 and a Sony Playstation. He drove home at 3:00 AM.

But before then, Karl had a Necroni cocktail at dinner. Interesting cocktail made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and campari. He eventually crashed at the Boys from Diversy's place at 5am and after 3 hours of fitful sleep went home at 8 am. Then he proceeded to finally upload his web page. Take a look. A full review will appear on Monday.

He was supposed to have completed the update to his web page but as of 7:52 PM CST it was not up yet. Hopefully it will be completed the same day as the release of the iMac.

Summer projects for Nack include a remake of his web page , which insiders claim has a weekly column published on fridays. Looking forward to it Karl. In other news, there was possible disappointment in learning an option for Karl is no longer available, at least that is what appears. Those working closely with the subject deem her unfit for Karl's consumption.

Karl's room has approximately 3 days left of work before it is ready for his return. The walls need to be prepped, then painted with a base coat, then the top coat, each process taking a day. So it looks like Karl's room will be the first ready at Ridge Warren.

In Ridge Warren news, Karl's walls appear to be smooth and fully prepped for painting. The race is on to find out which room will be the first finished at Ridge Warren, front or Karl's.

No Nick for Nack. Mr. Graber will be in Wisconsin the same weekend Karl is expected to be in Seattle, so no wild nights in port, at least with Nick. Here's to hoping Karl gets to sink a couple ships before he comes home.

At the end of his cruise on the Carl Vinson Karl will spend some time with Nicholas Graber of Seattle, WA. This will occur on August 13th. The night can possibly be spent at the Graber residence on Mercer Island. Hope Nick shows Nack the great Seattle nightlife. Especially the nightlife for sailors.

After a long hiatus, the staff of NackInTouch is proud to return to providing news and information about Karl Nack to the unknowing public. In the 5 months NackInTouch went underground, the world has changed somewhat for Nack devotees.
