ok so last friday we went to chicago for chicago fest... getting to my friend josh's house was easy. mel drove so i didn't have to stress the traffic... we took the subway to the show from josh's apt. the first show was great i felt great, i danced, i ate cookies that troy and i made to share... i came up with a funny thing to do to my drunk friends, i'd slowly bring my hand close to there face right before i'd slap them. doing it to shane was the funniest... he said it was like a double slap cause you wanna trust your friend not to... i thought it was funny having slap fights with my buddies... i met a girl from florida that i know from myspace, that was cool... i got some books, zines and a some records. when the show was done we all met outside. troy handed me mel's keys i asked him why he was giving them to me. he said i was driving mels car to the show the next day. i said fuck that. i wasn't about to drive all over chicago, a city i don't know well to go to a show which i can get to for a dollar seventy-five and not get lost... mel got pissy i said she just wanted her car there for someplace to drink... she got pissed. oh well i spoke my mind and i didn't drive it. jake showed up to the show to late for the show then he had to figure out how to get to josh's place from the venue. we walked to the subway and got back to josh's before jake got there thus proving my point about driving in chicago. there was a friendly black guy on the train who talked to us about music and the recording industry with us and offered us a swig of alcohol awesome... mel went to al's (from "disrobe") house and got wicked fucked up. at josh's i read two trade issues of this comic book called "the walking dead" about a zombie apocalypse... liz, josh's girlfriend rules for thinking about me enough to leave those out for me... we had to go to the local convienience store to get food cause everything else was closed, WTF? no pizza places open? even in my small town the pizza places are open wicked late. i ended up eating black bean tacos...so ghetto...
the next day josh and jake took off to drink downtown. we took the subway into town... after eating at whole foods... the whole day i was sore from day one so i saved my energy for rambo and municipal waste. i ran into pinky from milwaukee, i love that kid he's so sweeet he tried to teach me how to break dance but i was sore and not very flexible to begin with.
he is amazing he can balance on one hand and grab his foot over his head... it made me feel so out of shape. but i geuss he's in jujitsu too so i don't feel so bad, i could do the one pose at least... rambo had a guy dressed as jesus strapped to a cross. nothing like seeing jesus stage dive... muncipal waste is the new slayer except funny. they had wake boards with sharks on them and spring boards to stage dive with, it was awesome... after the show we went back to josh's and mel went to the party again. when we got to josh's, josh was drunk but functional and jake was wrecked they started drinking at four and started with whiskey... jake passed out in the bathroom with his pants off... ha ha. i'm glad he passed out cause he was obnoxious and didn't even know what he was saying and i couldn't for see myself listening to children of bodom and trying to sleep.
the third show was at the ice factory which was considerably smaller than the pulaski field house auditorium. i kinda liked the smaller venue it sounded better... it was so nice to see our friends in "i object". "double crossed" and "the first step" stole the show for me... mel was having a panic attack and wanted to leave before "i object" played. i talked to her and we ended up staying for the whole show... at that point i was so burnt out i just wanted to get home...

so today after waking up i took an aleve cause i still had a headache from the night before...basicly i just sat around to recoup from the show i took a nap it was so nice...
