10 things i learned in chicago
most of you know that i went to the lollapalooza music festival in chicago last weekend. i had an amazing time, and would love to share my experience with all of you! however, right now i’m sifting through 600+ photos as well as catching up with my real work, so you’ll just have to hang tight for the full recap. for right now, i’d like to give you my 10 things i learned in chicago:
10. there is a reason that a giordano’s pizza takes more than 45 minutes to make…oh and it’s worth it!
9. it is better to sleep on the floor of someone else’s hotel room than in the chicago jail
8. if a homeless man asks you to sign his chicken basket, just do it
7. contrary to popular belief, kyle gass and jack black do not always travel together
6. if you get too close to rage, you will get smushed…and you may lose a toenail
5. there is nothing that jack white can’t do (and he always looks good doing it)
4. if you go to billy goat’s tavern, you’re getting the double cheese…no arguments.
3. traveling with good people will make all the difference in the world
2. radiohead+fireworks=amazing
1. no matter what i do, or the new adventures i take, nothing ever moves me like music…and live music at that.

while i won’t post all the photos (waaay too many for that), i did want to share a few things…

…from tomorrow i’m heading out to los angeles to visit two of my favorite people ever in the history of the world: stephanie & tomy - stephen’s sister & her husband. i am so incredibly excited and will probably blog a lot more about it, but just wanted to show you one of the things i plan on doing while i’m there. 
stephanie and i will head to the little next door for brunch - i read about it on jeana sohn’s blog recently. the food looks delicious, and how cute is the place?! i can’t wait. 
more weekend fun times…
like i told you all last week, there was a lot of stuff going on in dallas over the weekend! i managed to take in as much as i could…
record store day: was awesome. i made it up to good records just in time to hear LIONS play and buy some new cd’s (the kooks “konk” and MGMT’s self titled)
after watching the band for a bit, i made it up to house of dang for their little soirée and got some super cute new earrings…i have a pic somewhere, i’ll post it later.
