After experiencing the most awful event of moving there is just one thing worse, un-packing. Ugh! Slowly Matt and I have been organizing things and getting rid of a ridiculous amount of boxes, it feels like home here.
After getting the apartment all set, I've been looking up fun things to do in Chicago (just wrote Madison and had to replace it with Chicago...) and met up with Emily for Tuesdays at the Terrace for some Jazz. It was pretty fun and then we got some secret exercise by walking to this bar/grill called I dubbed "Shipwrecked" because that sounds so much better than its real name. We then met up with Neha, went and saw Skerch, and finally I got home and looked up how much we walked which was 5 miles! My feet hurt so much today because I was wearing $1 Old Navy flip flops for that, and continued to wear flip flops. Oh well.
For today, Matt and I went to the Shedd Acquarium's 'Jazzing at the Shed' (two Jazz events in two days!) and was surprised that the cost of all access to the Shedd AND the Fantasea show was just $20! I'm learning cool Chicago things :)
Ended the night with fireworks-hope to see them again from Navy Pier. Now to bed

Back to Chicago: Part II
Well, I finally moved back to Chi-town! It was super sad to leave Madison, but after living here I've been so busy I feel like I have no time to think.
To re-start my life in Chicago I decided to start it right by going to the once place in town that I visit way too much- Finn McCools! But before going there we had a neighborhood block party "North Center Summerfest" that we went to and had a great time! We might have snuck in some beers, but we donated money to the event so I guess it evens out. There was this crazy band there "Wedding Banned" that was really fun. Even more fun= watching cover bands have groupies!
But after that we went to Neha's to chill before going out and got stuck in the elevator! Luckily Neha and I had our cell phones and other fun things (post it notes for Hangman); however, there was this SUPER-bitch in the elevator with us who blamed us for the elevator stopping, and then freaked out over the phone with the doorman. I think without her we would have had a great time, but she just made everyone feel awkward and awful!
Finally went to Finn McCool's and danced the night away-and danced AWAY from the creepers that facilitate the place. But always have a great time there!
