Fun with the ones I love!

Yes, I am and have been without a phone for about 9 days now, and I can't sugarcoat it, it's brutal! I must preface this by saying that Kristie's Bachelorette party is one for the books due to the following:

*Captain and Coke provided by Ms. Karsten (That girl throws one hell of a party!)
*Limo bus with complimentary stripper pole (Yikes!)
*3 Bar stops : MbarGo, The MiXX, Dirty Martini
*Reunion with all the Bronco girls + Rachel & Emmy! Oh what a night it was!


Now, that brings me to the next series of fun events. Zak and Nicole's visit to Chicago to take in the Jay Brannan concert at Schuba's with us, and the Billy Joel/ Elton John concert at Wrigley Field! These concerts were amazing! Jay Brannan is extremely talented, very witty, and of course untouchably good looking! We had a great visit over dinner at this Indian fusion restaurant on Southport called Coobah. We even tried their #1 dessert which was this delicious chocolate cake with bacon, yes bacon ice cream!


Rocket Man, Uptown Girl, We Didn't Start the Fire, Benny and the Jets, and Tiny Dancer filled the air in Chicago on Thursday evening and Jason and I were having a blast! My roommate offered us free tickets and we jumped on that immediately as the concert was sold out and tickets were ridiculously expensive! I'd say it was the best most expensive, free concert I've ever seen! The best part of the evening was when Billy Joel got out his harmonica and began to play Piano Man....and half way through the music stopped and 50,000 + people sang the chorus a cappella. It was amazing!

After that delicious concert we got back in the car and headed just an hour north of Grand Rapids! Of course we got stuck in traffic, but Jason took control and I passed out! We arrive at 10:30pm and the weekend can finally begin! There was alot of eating, sleeping, chatting, euchre playing, golf ball hitting, and smores...if there is a camp fire there has to be smores! We had a great time with Jason's buddies and didn't want to leave! Then we got back in the car to go home!
