summer is almost here
yesterday was pretty awesome, and boy am i glad i called in sick to work to enjoy it.
started off with hitting up some random stores in Grant Park mall and then downtown with Aggie, kind of half-assedly looking for jeans and a plain hoodie. apparently it is impossible to find a non-shitty plain hoodie (zipup or otherwise) in this city and stores only sell the really thing, crappy kind. i want a thick Champion or Russel Athletic hoodie but i'm at a loss as to where i would even find one. new-ish store in Grant Park has a lot of Penguin and Ben Sherman clothing, makes me want a real job so i can afford some $80 polos. looking for jeans went a lot better and i found the perfect pair at Urban Bakery. my problem is that jeans that fit me in the thighs are always really baggy in the calves, but this pair is awesome, tight all around and no saggy-ass! they were 50% off and then no tax, still cost me $70 though since they're Obey.
afterwards went to Taste of Chaos, which was surprisingly fun considering that all the bands sucked (even Thursday did) and i felt really old. essentially we manned a booth where you could make your own buttons, mainly i handed out stickers and made sure there were supplies on the table so Aaron/Aggie didn't have to run around. Aggie also made me a button that said "Kisses accepted, no minors pls" but i didn't get any kisses to no surprise haha. got many cans of Rockstar energy drink and bumped into a lot of random people which was fun.
10:30 rolled around and we tore down the tables and Aggie and i headed off to the Occidental for Pat's last show with Under Pressure, who were actually the only band i saw play since we got there so late, but at least i didn't have to pay? spoke to Guy, Tyson and Tracy about this Minneapolis trip for Boris/Sunn which we'll likely end up renting a minivan, now i just need to find a place that does unlimited mileage since so far the 2 places i've checked tack on $.15 for each km past 100 per day. which works out to ~$200 plus the rental costs.
anyone know of good/cheap places to rent cars?
