Trippin': Chicago - Architecture Tour

The first thing that big poppa and I rushed off to after settling into our hotel was this architecture tour that I had booked for our group. I had decided to go with George at Chicago Savvy Tours. The tour package was called Walk About, Walk Aboard Tour, which includes a 90 minute Signature Architectural + Historical Walking Tour followed by a 1 hour sail on Lake Michigan on the Tall Ship Windy. George was really great and really knew his stuff. I was prolly listening half the time since I was busy taking pictures but I did learn some interesting facts and got some insight into the thought process behind the engineering and designs of some of the buildings. I felt that perhaps George spent a little too much time talking about some of the buildings. If I had known, I would have suggested more of a breeze through with some quick facts and anecdotes so that we could have squeezed in Millennium Park. None of the other folks had time that weekend to go around that area. Boo.

Birthday: Mongol

You know, I seriously could not remember if I ever posted and blogged about Mongol's birthday get together. I think that I had e-mailed the link of the fotos to him and thought that I had blogged them? Iono. Things have been busy at work and at home with the costume construction and what not. So things are calmer and now maybe my mind can clear up a bit. So we initially were supposed to meet up at Fox and Hound on Westheimer, but it smelled of vomit and so we ended up at Sherlock's on Westheimer. Big poppa and voodoo were trying to knock Mongol out but it never happened. That guy's got some tolerance! Big poppa, however, pretty much passed out in the car right after he claimed that he wanted to go to Tan Tan. Yeah right. I actually drank a lot in the beginning but stopped after I realized that big poppa was drinking more than I was. I had a really good buzz going and had to park myself in a seat to sober up so I could drive us home. Mongol ended up hijacking my camera for a bit, hence the many fotos of me.

Musik Mundi: Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup

It's so funny how a song with barely any lyrics and mostly all beat has made it onto the radio. This song is so fun and I can't help but want to hit the clubs when I listen to it. When it comes on in the car, big poppa and I sit silently and just bob our heads around to the beat.
