A night in Chi-town
I was at work yesterday and I’m leaving at 4:30. As I get onto I-170 my phone rings. I answer and its Trevor. He thinks I’m in Chicago for the weekend and he offers me his extra ticket to see the Alkaline Trio at the Riviera. Unfortunately, I’m in St. Louis, so I decline.
I get home and decide to check airline prices on a whim and American wants $1240. Pfffft. Then I go check southwest.com and They have a 6:45 flight for $200. I call Trevor and he still doesn’t have a taker for his ticket, so I book the flight and go.
The trio were pretty good. They played mostly new stuff, which was ok. I prefer old-school Alkaline Trio music. Then we ate at Dogs on Clark and met up with Korbie and her roommates at Joy Brew (which incidentally has perhaps the worst bartenders I’ve ever seen).
Anyways, it was a pretty random night, and I flew back to St. Louis this morning. With all thats been going with desktop refresh at work, it was a nice getaway.
