So my last Summer in Chicago seems to have blown past me at record speed. This pic is of me and some friends at Grant Park for the final Movie in the Park of the Summer: GREASE! August 26th, 2008.

Left to Right: Camilla, Sarah, Kyla, Me and Ian. We had a delectible spread of food, and Wine as well as several cans of Fosters Beer. This shot was just after the movie ended, when everyone was heading out, we just chilled and let the crowd dissipate. I have known the ladies for quite some time now, but Ian was a new friend I had just met in person that night. He is a trumpet grad student here in Chicago that I met through a mutual friend who wanted him to have some contacts in Chicago when he got here. He was super fun, and by the end of the night he had charmed not only the 4 of us but every woman on a three blanket raduis around us. Charm and good looks will do that for a guy! :)

Tonight- in keeping with my do as much as I can in the city as possible before I leave attitude, I am going to see my friend Mr. B's show at the Playground Theater at Midnight. 5 improv comedians sit around and play poker and tell crazy stories. Hillarity Ensues. :)
That should be fun...if I can stay awake till then. I work till 9pm, and then I plan to grab food and beverages after that before the show.

Other than that, I have been keeping busy with work at THE VGT and part time nanny-ing for my friend Jenny. (She pays $10 an hour!! Holy smoke when I started Babysitting at 14 it was only $3!!)

I got my bike back today. First ride since August 3rd. And don't think my legs don't know that. I might need a long hot soak after I ride home tonight! A month is a long time to be off the wagon-um-bike.

Hope this blog finds you well!
