Weird Ass Gyro Joint
Today was an interesting day. It's my last night here so there are plans for going out at some point tonight. The Orelikon people have also been bugging us all week to stay for their happy hour so we decided to do that too. First few shows went well. I was kind of getting tired of doing the shows but it still wasn't too bad. Went to this shady little gyro joint for lunch with Ray and Andy. They didn't have anything vegetarian so I got nachos and pineapple lemonade. Only two guys were working there and they took forever. Freaking weird lol
BATTLE BOTS!
One of the highlights of the day was the Battle Bots in one of the other buildings. Rob and Jena had seen them the other day and found out the show times. So we went over and watched. It was awesome! The first round was four robot car things playing soccer. Each one was run by someone watching. It was really entertaining. Then the second round was even better. There were two battle bots with plows on their fronts so they could get underneath each other. Jena was so excited and volunteered to operate one. She did and she kicked the other guy's ass! My video today is her kicking ass. It's entertaining =P Then the last round was AMAZING! This guy was given control of a little RC car and he had to keep it away from this crazy machine that was basically like a lawn mower. He was doing well until it was kinda busted and the machine went for it. That thing DESTROYED the little car! There were no discernible parts left. Amazing.
I'm...Drinking?
We finished our last shows for the day and then had happy hour. We were supposed to bring something nice to wear but I didn't bring anything like that because I wasn't expecting to have to dress up. I know I should bring a set of something nice on gigs but I was too frantic when I was packing at home to think about that before I left. Anyway, that just meant I had to wear my performance outfit and everyone else looked nice. Boo. That sucked. Everyone was drinking and I was a little bored. With a lot of persuading I got Ray a drink. I felt weird doing that. It was the first time I have ever gotten alcohol. Andy was being kind of a dick about my not drinking. It was rather obnoxious and very unprofessional. Oh well. The whole happy hour thing was rather boring. I just wanted to go. We got to see the Silk Sisters before we left. They were wearing some very sexy outfits (see below).
Fifth Element Sexiness
After that we went into downtown Chicago to some place called Ed's Diner or something like that. The whole way there Ray had to pee soooo bad. He was dancing in the back seat. It was really funny. When we got there he ran in and asked for the bathroom. The woman showed him then said "God, what are you, 9?" I was like uh, ok. Then some other waiter was like, "Man, he's so dumb." I was so confused. I told Jena about it and she told me that the whole point of this place was that the waiters made fun of you. haha. Strange. We had a great time though. I had a milk shake and a veggie burger and lots of cheesy fries. Mmm. The waiter was funny and ridiculous. He threw straws at us. Then all the waiters got up on the tables and danced. It was amusing haha. Andy was still a dick for the majority of the night. By the end of the night I was totally ready to go home.
Dance, Waiter, Dance!
The drive was a long one back to my hotel. When I got there I crashed sooo hard...after I finished my burger and checked my email of course =) I also watched part of The Craft haha.
