Ray's "Free" $7.50 Rib Sandwich
I woke up at 7:15 this morning from a text message that Rob sent me. He said that he was illin' and would pick me up at 9:30 instead of 8:30. Woot! I slept in an extra hour which was wonderful. When he picked me up we were able to drive right into the city which cut about 40 minutes off of our daily trip. Rob said that he was starting to get congested and had trouble sleeping. I of course felt responsible because of whatever it is I have right now. I feel fine except for the cough on my chest but it could totally affect other people differently. On our way there the traffic was God awful. There was even an ad on the radio from the workers and companies who deal with infrastructure telling people that things need to be done in Chicago because they are falling behind the times. Crazy!
Sleeping Andy
When we got to the booth Andy was also feeling like crap. He had a terrible headache. Arg, I'm getting everyone sick! After that I officially became the plague carrier of the group =/ We got the conference room to warm up in which was really nice. My wrist still feels funny from landing on it weird during our last show yesterday. It just feels kinda bruised in one spot. The shows went well today... the first one totally a warm up and after that it was pretty easy to go through the act.
This Picture Wasn't Meant for Me to Take But I Did Anyway
Andy ended up sleeping on the floor between each set. Even that didn't really help his headache. Poor guy. Ray and I went off to the other building to try and find food. Rob and Jena called us and, from what I heard, there was free ribs and BBQ stuff in the South building. So we went over there and I kept getting lost. I called Rob a bunch of times and never quite understood his directions. When I finally figured it out I realized that we had gone in a complete circle since entering the South Building. It's crazy because this convention is in four different buildings. I also just found out that the official name for the convention is the International Manufacturing Technology Show www.imts.com Nifty. Anyway, when we found them, Ray went to get a sandwich at the stand. I was looking at what they had and when Ray moved to the right he revealed that there were prices! I totally misunderstood Rob and Jena. Oops. So Ray payed $7.50 for a tiny school lunch portion of a BBQ rib. =/
Dude, Where's Our Car?
After the shows Rob and I took a long walk back to the car. In our attempts to find a short cut, we ended up adding about 15 minutes to our journey haha. Oh well. We asked 4 different people directions and it wasn't until the fourth person that we were told to do what we normally do to get to the parking lot. Oo la la. The trip home was quick. Not too much traffic. Rob dropped me off because we all needed to get our rest. It was nice to be back at the hotel early.
Sears Tower and What Not
I relaxed for a little bit and "rented" Mean Girls from iTunes to watch at some point this week. It's been referenced so many times in the past month that I thought I should see it. As that downloaded I took a shower and headed off to find something to eat. I talked with my Mom all the way through the strip mall and ended up going to Baja Fresh again. This time I got my burrito "enchilado style" which is basically cheese and red sauce all over the top of it with chips and cheese and veggies. Totally awesome. I went back, watched the Simpsons, ate, played Wow and crashed while watching Family Guy. Oh what an exciting life I lead. =P

Mickey Avalon - My Dick
(One of my fellow performers made me listen to this and I thought I'd share. She said her kids won't stop listening to it and now she listens to it too lol)

Yo dick look like Gary Coleman.
That was entertaining, but I was surprised to see you post something with such clear cut drug referencing. Amy and I drank together last night, oh the fun. Wang was going to kill her for falling asleep during the movie.
