Yesterday was probably one of the best days I've spent in the city this summer. All of Charlie's Missouri friends were in town for the weekend and they are ridiculously cool, I can't wait to go visit them at the other MSU.
We Started out the day at Moodys beer garden which is like a bar/burger place but they have this awesome outside area with ivy covered walls and fountains. We had about 7 pitchers and some delishous burgers and then went to the game. The game was really fun the cubs won. Then we came back and took a 30 minute power nap and headed off to the rail for more pitchers. Then after the rail we went to the coolest place I've been to all summer. It's a bar in Wrigleyville called Sluggers that has a batting cage in it. But what was even better was upstairs they had a dueling piano bar. It is basically the coolest concept ever, its a room with two pianos in the middle facing each other creating sort of a stage with a stripper pole running up the middle. SO basically people request songs by writing them down and tossing it on the piano and then the two players alternate playing them while the other guy accompanies, everybody there drinks a lot and sings along at the top of there lungs and dances. They played everything from rap songs to Elton it was amazing.
When that placed closed we went to Baccis pizza where each slice is about the size of half a pizza, we meet a super cool bum there. Then on the El train back we met a beat boxing bum who laid down the smooth beats and of course roboting ensued. And since it was the 2 oclock train back from the bars we managed to start a chorus of Sweet Caroline in our train car on the way back.
I'll be back one week from today.
