Coming close to the end of the tour...

Ok ok ok.. fine, I give them shit all the time about thinking they're cool and no doubt that Evan (or Chuck Inglish) is convinced I'm the biggest hater on God's green earth, BUT big things are happening, and I do gotta give the boys they're credit.

So make sure you check out THE COOL KIDS, even if you've been to 34 of their performances, show love. They'll be back home, here in the Chi, where they belong, for 2 days of sold out M.I.A shows:

Nov 21st @ 8:00 pm
House of Blues w/M.I.A in Chicago

Nov 23rd @ 8:00pm
The Vic Theater w/M.I.A in Chicago

Home, Sweet, Home

Chicago and I have been in a relationship for a while now (roughly 22 years)..and I can say that it's getting pretty serious. I've lived in this city my entire life, but I feel as if I'm just not reaching the point where I'm fully appreciating everything it has to offer. I'm convinced we have it all here. The food (do I even gotta go into detail about that?), the museums (did you know our aquarium is the largest in the world?), and of course, us...the people. Check out the link below that's just affirming what we've all known for a while: Chicago is the shit.

Meanwhile, guys, I'm at the place eating your scarce food, playing your video games, watching your cable tv, using your dvd player for movie nights, doing my laundry, and stealing your internet

Holy Shit, It's Cold

Chicago, where one can experience something like 4 seasons in a matter of a few days. Just last week it was 80 degrees, people not wearing coats, riding bikes in the sun, loving life, etc. Now, it's something like 50 degrees and it has people busting out their finest winter gear and wandering around aimlessly. I was driving home the other morning from class and caught a glimpse of this woman out my car window:

I know it's hard for you to see but she's definitely a little confused from this quick weather change because she is wearing a winter parka yes..but yet is still rockin' her chanclas, sandals, whatever. At least she's wearing socks though.



Anyway, last night I got to see one of my favorite groups at the Double Door, The Go! Team because the Cool Kids opened up for them. I wasn't able to catch a good photo of them because of course the tallest man in the room was standing in front of me and my girls. That's fine though, I was able to catch this demonic ass picture of the boys:



...And some Go Team MP3 love..

Happy late Sunday, early Monday.
