I met this girl at the Phish show and I am having a hard time getting her out of my head. We were talking during the setbreak and we discovered that:
- She lives at California/North Ave and I live at Western/North Ave. So we’re neighbors.
- She works for a post production shop downtown (I forgot the damn company name). I go to film school.
- She grew up in Saginaw, MI and her dad owned the appliance store my parents shopped at when we lived in Midland, MI.
- We both do not like Phish’s song, Simple.
She told me about this bar/club in our neighborhood she frequents called the Empty Bottle and asked me if I wanted to go see her roommate’s boyfriend’s band play - but I couldn’t commit. Bummer.
So since I didn’t get her numbah or anything, I’ve got to start going to the Empty Bottle…I just want to see/talk to her at least one more time.

I just had a whirlwind week/weekend with two of my good friends in town from Texas. Travis came up here to visit and see Chicago for the first time. Cliff was here on business and checking things out since he might be moving here. All in all we had a great time. We went to cool restaraunts, lounges, bars and one lame club. We went to go see the Phish show at the Allstate Arena! We saw a preview of the new revue at Second City with an extra hour set of improv and experimenting with new material. Travis saw all of the good sights downtown while I was in class. Thankfully there was 2-3 days of “nice weather” before we got the classic Chicago weather: a little bit of snow, 20-30mph wind and single digit wind chills. So I had my first out-of-towners come to visit me; they were definitely the guinea pigs for any future visitors I might have. I’m pretty sure they had a good time taking in Chicago. And I feel pretty good about that.
