Friday I went to help celebrate a drummer friends birthday as his band rocked the house down at a local bar. I haven't seen that many booties on a dance floor in a long time. His band and his playing were flawless. They did top 40 dance tunes, but dam they sounded tight. Kept the crowd happy too. All this after getting a call from my daughter saying that part of our condo is 2-3 inches under water. Apparently the toilet in her room needs a new assembly, AND it clogged at the same time, so it was running over for a good hour before she noticed. I cleaned that up with some towels and a shop-vac and fixed the clog, set up a few fans, then went out for the night.
Saturday I went to our team party for a 5K benefit which followed the next morning. Drinking until midnight, then having to get up early to run a 5K is not recommended. I brought my Uke and we made up a team song though. It was actually a lot of fun. Sunday I did the 5K in the morning, then I got invited to go out on my GF's brothers boat along with his daughters BF's boat. We tore up and down the Illinois river then stopped at a sand bar for some festivities. I'm pretty burnt. I need to wear sunscreen when I'm out on the water. I forgot about that. Ouch. Today, I get to go to the Sox/Cubs crosstown classic with my daughter, which was a Fathers Day gift. We'll be *ouch taking the train in to the Cell, and back. I'm hosting another Open Mic next Saturday, then *ouch a couple weeks after that I'll be playing a large concert in Michigan. I don't know how long I can keep this pace up, but I think I'm *ouch winning at life at this point. *sunburn hurts

But yeah, Chicago's awesome. There's something to do pretty much 24/7/365.

I had three houseguests in from NYC for the weekend but was devastated to discover that my entire city shuts down at 10pm.
Unless you're a brainless knob partying it up at a local club or dive bar, there is nothing of cultural significance to do after dark. A fellow resident had to spell it out for me, saying, Quote:

^That's really unfortunate. I've never had those kinds of struggles.
I remember we used to drive into the city at night with our bikes strapped to the trunk and park along LSD (Lake Shore Drive), then bike to multiple bars/coffee shops until the sun came up. Rush street and the surrounding area was always the go-to party district back in the early 90's. Then, after every one is good and plastered someone would always shout "Let's go to Starved Rock!". Always a bad idea. Everyone would be sleeping by the time we got there. I just can't do shit like that anymore, but dam it was a lot of fun. Today updated, since I need money for stuff like living and I'm at work, I get to watch reps from Kentucky State burn one my units I designed. Then it's off to watch some baseball.

Hey now, dives can be a blast (especially when it's an older establishment), they're not all bad.
