My weekend...



Well it was Friday afternoon and couldn't wait too get out of class too get ready for the Lydia Lunch show at the Abbey Pub here in Chicago. I got ready and was out the door by 6:00 and the show started at 7:00. I would of made on time too my friends house where we were going too leave from to go to the show, but the train on Orange line of the loop got stuck on the track for like 20 min.!! By the time I got off the the redline up on the north side and got too her house, they had left! So now I had too call up home and find out how too get there from public transportation. It was 7:30 by now and the opening group was probably still on so no big deal. I walked over too Belmont ave. and luckily a bus came within 5 min. Well there was another bus I had too get on after that one and it took atleast a half an hour for that bus too come! I got on and it took about another 20 min. too get where I needed too get off. Then I had too walk like 3 long city blocks too the pub. Right as I got there the show was letting out!! I found out that she wasn't performing with a band she was doing a spoken word. Well luckily my friends were still there and I saw them inside, so I told the guy at the door that I needed too pick them up so I could get inside and tell them what happened. Well Lydia was still talking too some people so I decided too buy an album with the money that was supposed to go towards the show. I went up too her so she could sign the cd and get a picture. I told her what happened also and she gave me a another cd for free! After that we left and went back too the apartment too eat. Since it was still early we decided to go out and walk around and go to the Alley clothing store since it was near by. My friend Jen who has a pair of goggles (you know the kind that Sneaky Bat from Goteki wears) and she let me wear them. It was an awesome night! The weather was like 60 degrees that night. Well since it was a Friday night and the weather was nice, Belmont was FULL up yuppie fucks. The streets were crowded. So I decided too take the goggles and put them on like regular goggles, around my eyes. It was funny freaking the crap out of the yuppies walking down the street like that :). After that we decided too go back too the apartment for the night. I had a camera with me that I was going too use for the show that night but ended up not using it. So Jen decided too take a few photos off me. I had plans for the next day and they both had too be up early (her and her bf)also. She had too work and her bf had too pick up Siouxsie and the Banshee tickets (which I cant afford too go to, those bastards!! :b) I couldn't wait for the next day too come......
