some of you heard my frantic news on my live internet radio show on thursday, when nico called me from the hospital. let me just say that nico is okay and walked away from the hospital with 42 stitches, bumps, bruises, and minor cuts.

what happened is that on thursday, he and an opposing car were trying to get through a yellow light at the same time. nico was heading north on his bicycle and the russian lady was heading south, making a left turn. she hit nico, who flew into her windshield, completely smashing it. his bike survived with a fucked up fork and his front wheel is gayed out of control, and the lady will probably not have to pay a dime, considering they were both at fault, according to traffic laws. nico was in the hospital for about 4 hours and is on some serious meds now... vicodin anyone?

send all "get well" and "i wanna shove my pinky up your ass" type emails to nico here: nico@soulochicago.com
