Weekend in Review

Friday night Nate and I got dinner with Soup, Sarah, Wendy and Jacob at El Barco Mariscos. We ate outdoors and had a good time telling bus horror stories and "idiots at work" stories we knew. Then Nate and I stopped at his house to pick some stuff up, and headed to the Empty Bottle to see Big Business (band in photo). On the way there we ran into Jennifer and Aaron at Cleo's and got a drink with them. Too bad we didn't have the foresight to just stay there because the show sucked. The band didn't suck, but the sound was so muddled you really couldn't get the full Big Business experience. The drumming was awesome though, too bad the bass and guitar were impossible to understand through the sound. Pretty disappointing, and worse that we paid 10 bucks for the pleasure of sitting around some seriously stinkin' dudes. The highlight was the incredibly awesome head banging that was going on up front. Like super long hair flying in circles, haven't seen in ages style.

Saturday it was hot as hell out. I had to go to my pharmacy that is nowhere near my house because when I tried to pick up my meds there Friday I discovered that idiot me left her debit card in the ATM again on Thursday night. Why is the pharmacy nowhere near my house? Because it's near work. Why couldn't it wait until Monday? Because its birth control. After that I hung out at Nate's house for awhile, then we went down to Pilsen for a big birthday dinner for Dan's birthday. We went to Nuevo Leon and it was super tasty and insanely cheap. Afterwards we went to this empty bar with an old man bartender who acted like he really didn't want us there. I sat down at the bar and looked down and saw four tiles that made an image of a naked Asian woman. Well, she had a thong on. Still, whaaaa?? Where did this guy get tiles made of naked ladies? Amelia took a photo of me with it so hopefully she send it to me. Hint hint.

We ended the night at Dan's place and watched some DVD the name of which I already forget, but it was about a house in Chicago that was getting torn down and all these bands played in it right before it got demolished. It was pretty depressing. However, I was pretty proud of myself for realizing that the singer of Red Eyed Legends is also the singer in the Monorchid. Who knew he was still doing stuff? I obviously didn't.

Today...Nate and I took Audrey for a walk in the sweltering heat, and then I cooled her off with a bath which she didn't appreciate. We watched the Cubs game, I fell asleep during it (I always fall asleep during baseball on tv), and now he's off drumming and I'm here watching Engaged and Underaged and laughing at the kids on it.

So overall...good weekend, did new stuff, hung out with good people (as usual), sweated a lot, relaxed a lot. Next weekend I'll be in DC, hopefully seeing my cousins there on Sunday!
