Chicago is keeping me busy!

I've been so busy that I haven't been able to blog! There's always something to do and somewhere to go!




We saw Wicked 2 weekends back and it was amazing! Last week I worked at the Taste of Chicago - Joakim Noah from the Chicago Bulls made an appearance as well as 2 White Sox players. Someone also gave me a reserved seat ticket to see Joss Stone so I got to see her live and up close! Then I celebrated the 4th of July with the Dreamers in Lake Geneva, WI. On the 3rd I watched the fireworks in Chicago over Lake Michigan and it was absolutely beautiful! It was actually a little cold out so I wore my Noles sweatshirt (gotta represent!) and my roommates and I all cuddled under a blanket and watched the show. After the fireworks we went out to a place called the Lion Head and upstairs there's a club called The Apartment which was really awesome! It's laid out like an apartment - there's a kitchen and living room, bathroom, bedroom. Plus they play great music!









Then on the 4th we got on a bus to Lake Geneva and spent hours on the beach there. I have a great tan now between the Taste, Lake Geneva, and the Machine game. So anyways - Lake Geneva was pretty fantastic. It was such a cute little town with great boutiques and delicious restaurants. There are only 2 bars in the town so all of the Dreamers ended up at Hogs & Kisses where we had a reserved section of the bar just for us. We drank and danced and then Hailey and I were tired so we ducked out early. The bar wasn't very big so to have all of the usual suspects and townies PLUS the Dreamers it was way too crowded to move! But it was still a good time.




Then on Saturday we went back to Chicago and everyone talked me into going out that night too! So I ended up at a place called Skybar, a 3 story bar with strobe lights and disco balls and GoGo dancers. I wasn't even that drunk but my stupid self forgot to close out my tab so the bar still has my debit card and my ID. I've called and left a message multiple times but no one has responded and no one ever answers. The website says their hours of operation are Tues-Saturday starting at 8. So I went there last night at 8 p.m. and no one was there. I sat outside for a half hour and no one ever showed up! I am livid! I left an angry message and still no one has answered their phone or contacted me back. After I get my ID back, I'm boycotting Skybar! lol.




After the Skybar night on Saturday, Sunday was my first Chicago Machine lacrosse game! It was a long day but it was really cool. Speaking of work - Today I got great news! They're going to have me working with their PR firm, All Terrain. They outsource all of their PR stuff to them so on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I'll be going over there to help out. I'm really excited about it because they sound like a really awesome PR firm.



So it's been hectic and crazy here in the windy city but I'm loving it and having the time of my life! Tonight I hope to get my ID and debit card back and then I might go out. If not out tonight, definitely out Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! I also want to try and head to the aquarium this weekend and do a little bit of shopping. I also want to go to some of the museums and go to the Navy Pier! Maybe a little beach time as well. :-)
