I recently came across this scene and it still makes me laugh. The sad thing is that because of the sometimes slow pace of the movie, I know people who never made it this far. Thank goodness for you Tube!

My hardwood floors are awesome! It's so amazing how different they look. I can't wait to have a party and invite people over....of course everyone will now have to take their shoes off.

Every music lover should start saving now for Lollapalooza. I know it's expensive, but I saw bands I already knew and loved (Louis XIV, Raconteurs, Mates of State...) and was exposed to a lot more that I really liked (Ting Tings, Kid Sister, Devotchka, The Whigs, MGMT, Foals...)!!! Start saving now! $100 bucks a month will give you enough for a ticket, room (sharing w/ @ least one person), flight, and food! It was totally worth it.

The food wasn't too pricey and there was tons of free stuff and tents to check out between shows I wanted to see. It was HOT but it didn't rain and that's ok with me - beer and water will cool anyone down. Most of the stages had areas where you could hang out in the shade and still see the music.

This is Devotchka - not that you can even see them...

I'm still semi-homeless until my floors are done. They said the last coat should be dry some time tomorrow...I would love to sleep in my own bed! But my house is going to be disorganized for at least another week until we're allowed to put the furniture back in. I took before pictures, and I can't wait to compare them with the after photos.

Meet the City went over great today. There were 5 teams (15 people) and all the photos are hilarious. Here's a couple of my Faves with their themes...

Zoo:

Game (Let's Make a Deal):

Worst Date:

Press Conference:

Yesterday's game was a total bomb because there weren't enough people to play. So sad. Today will be fun because I have 5 or 6 teams signed up. Wednesday is still a little iffy. So - if any of you could pull together a team for Wednesday from 5:45 - 8:45 I would like you a lot! I was going to say love you a lot, but in the end I decided that was a little extreme.

We meet @ the College Street Gallery and then start exploring the city (see link in an earlier entry for more info).

I'll try to remember to upload some pics from the game later tonight! Enjoy your weekend....

Five more days until I leave for Lolla - I can't wait. The week leading up to it is crazy and I can't wait for some fun. Meet the City, getting floors refinished, work, and getting stuff together for the trip...it's almost over. Then I'll be in Chicago - obligation free - for 3 days. Yeah!

Time to walk the dog...
