Life Update:
July
Not much happened that month except that I went to Pitchfork on its second day. Wolf Parade and LCD Soundsystem were amazing. Shame that might be LCD's last time in Chicago.
August:
August was more active. Went all three days of Lollapalooze and an "after show" (though considering the show was the day before, hard to really call it an aftershow). The "after show" was The New Pornographers. It was my first time seeing them live (though I did see Neko last year at Lolla) and they didn't disappoint. Really good show. As for the rest of the days, I got a total of 27 bands to make my money worth spend (and didn't care to get up close to any of the bands). Best band for me was Arcade Fire. Other great acts included Devo, Dragonette, The Dodos, Felix da Housecat, Metric, and Social Distortion. I heard Warpaint was really good, but missed them. Didn't think I would have really enjoyed the festival, but turned out to be a really good one. Had a lot that whole weekend. Also went to Wizard World, but had very little money to spend there. Some the girls at the SG booth and watched my friends get pictures with some wrestlers and John Scheinder,
But I had a good reason that I didn't have much money. I bought myself a new iMac. Well, actually it isn't really new. It was a refurb that was $500 less than it was priced before the new ones were. And since my laptop was out of warranty, I decided a new computer would be a good idea, though since I never brought my laptop anywhere, look into an iMac instead of a new laptop. Even better, there turned out to be a 2 TB hard drive in this new machine instead of the advertised 1 TB. *insert your "that is a lot of porn" joke here*
School starts soon, so that means work will quiet down for a couple of weeks. Then shit will hit the fan with all the Christmas crap we will be getting. Not fun hanging winter coats when it humid in the non-air conditioned stock room.
