Besides, I had agreed to be part of Karen's trivia team at an event on Saturday night. It was at a parish in Afton, there was 38 teams present, and we came in first place! $240 purse!! Plus, all the popcorn (6 bowls), pretzels (1 bowl) and Sprite (3 8oz cups) I could drink.
Prior to trivia, I went to the Ballroom to meet up with Chi-Town and Ohio pals who were in town for the party. A super cute bearded guy who I have never seen and have no idea who he is, asked me, out of the blue while playing pinball, if I was going to Night Birds. I said, "Of course!" I don't think he lives here, he had that Chicago hipster vibe that I love so much.
Post trivia, I swung by Lemmon's, Ben paid $12 for me to get in because I didn't want to stay, just give Nato a token for a complimentary ice cream cone at Culver's, and GTFO! But I wasn't allowed in without a wristband, so I was just going to leave. But I ended up staying and actually had a good time. Spoke a lot with Christina, who laughed because literally like, 50 guys came up and either high-fived or hugged me and said hello! I gave Sam an extra long hug since his GF wasn't on this tour and he was in party mode (re: sociable) and really took in his dirty dirty scent. This made him laugh.
I don't really recall who all's sets I watched other than NC&TBDB and Masked Intruder, for whom I was down near the front. Several people crowd-surfing, everyone arms up singing along and dancing. Great set, great energy. Monster Mask was in attendance!!!
Came home about 2am and stayed up until 430 reading the new issue.
I have to give D and NH proper props; I was expecting a real shit storm, but was pleasantly surprised and had a great time.
