Wedding, pizza, Chicago, pizza, Gmail

I suppose I could be more irregular with posting. Since the last post I went to the wedding of my long-time friend from the cottage, got rowdy in Chicago, ate some pizza, drank some beer, and ate some more pizza.

The wedding was nice, although we were a few minutes late. We got there as the wedding party was getting ready to head down the isle. The upside to being late was that we got to see her before everyone else. The reception was a good time as I got to meet some of her friends she has been talking about for the last decade (I started to wonder if they existed). I was beat so we left early to avoid falling asleep at the table.

The next weekend I went to Chicago with a buddy. It was a business trip to pick up art. I rented an Explorer and it ended up getting filled to the brim. We got to the hotel (the thin crescent shaped building) late (after a detour to a casino) and were too tired to head into the city so we went directly to the sports bar type place in the lobby. It was right outside a place called Andiamo (I am not sure if it is part of the Andiamo we are familiar with). After a little over and hour there our bill was over a hundo. They closed up shop and E went to sleep, fast, thanks in part to the best bed ever! I think that between the feather bed, the down comforter, and the pillows that were oh-so-soft and cushiony yet supportive, it was, well, exciting. Saturday was spent packing and organizing art. Another buddy came into town from Cincinnati to participate in the hijinx. We went to Gino's East on Saturday night. We headed back to the room to recharge the batteries before heading out to Rockit. E made it a night and retired well before the other two. On Sunday we wrapped up the art, fixed a computer, and headed back to Motown.

This weekend was uneventful. I watched the Lions game (a rarity) and a buddy came over with his homebrew and we ordered a pizza from Pizza Papalis. It was a good afternoon. U of M pulled out a win on Saturday with one second left in the game. I guess it was good that Lloyd fought for getting those two seconds put back on the clock.

If anyone wants a Gmail account please post a request (with your email) or email me and I will send you something.
