Roadtrip: Chicago Edition

My friend Addison and I made our way to Chicago last weekend. Whenever Matt plays within driving distance, I have to make it to the show. I love roadtrips and Chicago is only four hours away from Bloomington! I had a lot of fun seeing Matt and the other guys. I was in good company (that is an understatement)! Local Natives played at Columbia College. It was a great area over there. We were able to make it over to Millennium Park for some fun before the show!

I graduate from college in two days! How crazy is that? Now that this semester is finally through, I promise to be more consistent with posting! Sorry I have been so sporadic lately! How are you guys doing? Surviving the semester? Ready for summer?

Who knew potholes could look so pretty?

I love this installation by artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera! I never thought I could be cheered up by a pothole, but I couldn't help but smile looking at these. (via HonestlyWTF)

On a completely different note, what are your thoughts on the Lollapalooza lineup for this summer? I just made my custom lineup, here. I'll actually be in Chicago later this week to see Matt (I haven't seen him since my trip to Austin in March!) and watch Local Natives play a show at Columbia College. Needless to say, I'm excited! After that, I have one more final and then I graduate college! Crazy!

I had a really wonderful weekend in Chicago. On Saturday, my friends and I went and ate breakfast at a really cute place called The Eleven City Diner. It was definitely a good choice. Later for lunch, I met up with Matt and we ate at The Chicago Diner, which is definitely my favorite of the weekend. I loved it so much that I went again the next day for another meal and a vegan milkshake! Mmmm. The show on Saturday night was great! Both The Union Line and The Love Language were outstanding. If you haven't checked them out, you definitely should. I couldn't have asked for better bands to pump me up for Local Natives! I didn't want any of the bands' sets to end! What did you all do this weekend?

Apologies/Chicago/Local Natives

I just wanted to apologize in advance for being MIA this upcoming weekend! I'm headed to Chicago with some friends. We're going to go see Local Natives/I'm going to be in attack mode come Saturday afternoon (I haven't seen Matt in a few weeks)! Since I'm going to be seeing them on Saturday, why not share their new music video for Wide Eyes? I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I promise I'll return shortly (with photos)!
