My One Free Evening This Week

I saw three of the eight Flower15 concerts last week and they were all very good. The headliners were Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Promise Ring and Tortoise. I enjoyed them all and amazingly, unlike Flower10, even the opening bands were good. I saw one show on Thursday, which meant that I didn't get a lot of sleep before I went to work on Ftiday. The other two shows I saw were on Saturday and while the last show ended late, it wouldn't have mattered because I could sleep in on Sunday. Having said that, I met three guys who had taken the train from Wisconsin and were going to be stranded, so I drove them to Kenosha. I didn't get to bed until 5 AM and even after getting up at noon, things were not right.

My aunt Marcie came into town on Monday for a two day conference. I met her on Monday evening in the lounge at her hotel for a while and when we parted, because I was so close to my former place of work, I went to visit my friends for a while. It was good seeing them and actually kind of cool because I met someone who is into the same kind of music that I like.

Yesterday, I met up with my aunt, my sister, and the people that my aunt came with. We went to Ikea briefly so they could see it and then wet to Bahama Breeze for dinner. It was a good dinner and it was nice to talk to everyone.

I will be busy tomorrow and Friday with my bookclub meeting and a benefit for Sunnyridge so I'm not sure if I'll update tomorrow or Friday.
