Back From Chicago, And Late Talking About It

Man, it sure takes me a while to get around to updating this blog sometimes. Well, anyway, I had a fabulous time in Chicago this past weekend, so let me update you all.
Tony, Jason C., and I drove up to Chicago in the afternoon on Friday, making it to Noodles in the Pot in Lincoln Park in time for an early dinner. It’s a fantastic restaurant.
That night I met up with Shane in Boystown. We checked in to a hotel near the Beltmon L station, which was close enough for us to hear the “ding-dong” from the trains as the doors closed. It didn’t bother me. After all, I grew up near the airport and across the street from Interstate 70.
Shane and I started the evening eating some food out. We originally wanted to eat at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba, but it was too busy. Instead, we ate at this little falafel shop near the hotel, which turned out quite nice.
The first bar we hit was SPIN. We spent time getting drunk, watching music videos, and such. Before we left, we caught the entirity of the shower contest, in which volunteers take off their clothes, wrap themselves in a towel, march up on stage, and dance under a shower — all in the name of prize cash money. One of the winners (it was a tie, you know) was a big woman with huge floppy titties who was obviously not afraid to show off her junk.
After SPIN, Shane and I made it to Berlin, which was where we got really drunk and started dancing. I’m unsure if Shane was keeping the beat, but he was sure having a great time, and so was I. The music there is fantastic, so I can’t wait to go back.
The next day, Shane and I parted ways, after having breakfast with Jason C. and Jason G. Afterwards, I hung out with Tony in Boystown, and then, in the early evening, we met up with some friends of Tony and Jason for dinner.
I ended up back at the hotel in downtown (where the roommates were staying) and crashed out. I didn’t get out of bed until the next morning, feeling well-rested. It was probably the most sleep I’ve had in a long time.
After cleaning up, I caught up with Tony and Jason at Dunkin’ Donuts. I had some coffee and two glazed donuts. And they were good!
So, after spending forever and a day, trying to find a picnic in Lincoln Park and having a little spat about it, the three of us (me, Tony, and Jason) decides to just eat at Noodles in the Pot, again, and then head home.
That’s really about it.
