I must say, I've had a rockin' good Memorial Day weekend. Friday, went to see RedWantingBlue again. Saturday, I spent the whole day with a friend (Melissa) I hadn't seen in a while ... we went bike shopping, took a walk by the lake, went to lunch, got ice cream, cat-sat, and even went grocery shopping. On Sunday, my friend Whitney drove in from Michigan, and we went to Melissa's and cooked on the grill. Then today, Whitney and I went downtown, and then met up with Rob on North Avenue Beach to see the band Catfight. All in all, it was a very fun (and relaxing) weekend!
After our visit to the Art Institute, we stopped by Millennium Park to check out "Paintings Below Zero."
But then I found out my favorite band, The Black Crowes, were giving a free concert at The Taste on 7.6.07. So, I went. While it was hard to see anything from the lawn, I'm still glad I went. The Crowes sound just as good live as they do on recordings. And who can complain about a free show given by their favorite band? Not me.
The last two pictures I snapped while we were walking to the bus stop. The middle one is "Cloud Gate" or as Chicagoans call it, "The Bean." The last is a bad, blurry picture of the Smurfit-Stone building.
