Just got done with the trip to Chicago. It's a pretty cool city. Driving sucks but we were able to take the Blue Line pretty much everywhere we needed to go. Writeboy told us about a restaurant that actually served some vegetarian food that was really good. Chicago pizza is better than New York pizza. Sorry to offend any New Yorkers but it just is. Chris from Less Than Jake agreed too.
Chicago is one of the places I wouldnt mind moving to once Gabe is done with school. It was nice not being in a small town getting stared at because my nose is pierced. I had the same feeling when I was in California in June too.
Im also very excited because I got to do a set with Writeboy while in Chicago. I cant wait to see how the pictures turned out! The half dozen or so he showed me on the camera were just awesome. He used the light really well and really made my red hair pop. I cant wait for the set to go to MR so I can see what everyone else thinks of it. Its kind of a bummer that I dont get to see them all until the editing is done because Im all about instant gratification. I guess at least this way I will get to see the pics at their best so I wont be so hard on myself for anything hopefully. He made my boobs look HUGE and my ass look great. It was also really entertaining to watch him crawl around on the floor and cram himself into corners to get the shots he wanted. Over all it was a great experience and I hope we can do it again next time Im in Chicago. Hopefully Ill be less nervous next time.
Riot Fest was pretty cool. My only complaint is that the sets were too short. Bad Religion and Less Than Jake rocked but I wouldnt have expected differently. There was a cool little roughly 5 year old boy there with his parents. He had a blue Mohawk and crowd surfed and even got up on stage with Anti Flag, who also rocked. Here are some pics from the concert. Sorry theyre so bad but the camera on my phone blows especially when Im being jostled around.
This is the little kid crowd surfing.

Coming home to the cats was a bit of a let down. They gave a cursory sniff as if to say "Oh, you're here. We knew you'd come back" and went off to sleep.
