Kinetic Playground/ Redwalls Show/ Chicago/ 5/20/08

This Memorial Day weekend, my friend dragged me to see her new favorite band, the Redwalls in concert. They are an affable local band that was having a party in celebration of their new music video. My friend will never admit this, but she wanted to go to “stalk” the cute members in the band. Okay, she wanted to meet them because they inspire her as a musician and well, their music is good. We ended up meeting the band, although at first there was a case of mistaken identity: We confused one brother in the band with the other. Oops. My friend gave the right brother her demo and he hugged her. Aww. What nice guys (albeit the skinniest guys I’ve ever seen). Anyway, we drank, we danced and then I passed out. Well, not really, but doesn’t it really look like I’m two sheets to the wind? Totally.

Subterranean/ Chicago/ 5/09/08

Some of my friends and I went to Subterranean to take advantage of free Red Stripe. Every week they usually have free PBR for an hour, but this week that had Red Stripe! It’s quite yummy and definitely tastes better than PBR. Each of my friends got two drink tickets, so I really didn’t drink that much. It did the job, though. I go to Subt all the time to see concerts. The free events are usually held in the downstairs lounge. I have a story about the downstairs lounge, but I won’t go into it right now. I’ll save that for my tell-all book.
