The day started with some BBQ action to celebrate the bday of some of our favorite guys, D & A. What part of Summer Shandy, 90 degree, humid weather and lots o' sausages doesn't sound fun to you?? Well all of it should because it was a blast. The Ogilvy Beer Olympbic flip cup team was in full force, the beer was flowing fluidly, (mostly because we had to stay hydrated in the heat) and tons of laughter and singing all around. I think the flip cup most have gotten the best of me since I only managed to snag one picture.
Sometimes the sign of a good night is not having any proof! Happy bday D & A!
On to the next stop of the night...Cafe Ba-Ba-Rebba with gal pals AH & RK. After a few pitchers of Sangria, bacon wrapped dates and kissing girls through the iron bars of the patio (shot-out to MH & JV -- love random encounters) we were feeling great! We decided to go downtown Chi town to get a little jiggy with it. Needless to say, we were the only people not associated with a bachelotte party, but we made it work. We popped in Mercer 113 and Sub 51 (yes we went there I have the stamp to prove it) and it was suprisingly great time. Hard to not have fun when you are with these chicas.
After sharing some laughs, spectacular dancing and interesting conversations with the tourists and brides to be, I decided to make my way back up North and into my bed for the night....RK & AH, however, had no such plan. They trekked over to Jacqueline's on the corner of Broadway and Rosco in Lakeview. This is the kind of place that Yelp catagorizes as a "dive bar" but is apparently a great freaking time. RK recapped the evening over breakfast this morning. They told their fellow consumers that they were celebrating AH's 27th birthday and proceeded to accept the free shots that were thrown their way until the wee hours of the morning. As most people have experienced, once they 3AM hour rolls around, the hunger sets in. Good thing "Jackie's" has a microwave readily available and out in the open so the guests can heat up their frozen dinners and hot pockets. After they ate their fill of microwaved goods, RK & AH both exclaimed that it was "the perfect end to a perfect night" so I invite all of you to check it out soon.
All that fun and happiness lead to a not so happy Sunday AM but that was quickly resolved due to our amazing breakfast complete with bacon, omletes, biscuits, fruit, Donkey chips & homemade guac. I mean -- we felt like allstars so its only fitting that we had the breakfast of champions.
Great weekend kids, hope you all had a fantastic one as well! Ugh, Monday tomorrow.
Love,
Lue
