OK OK, here's a travel story

Here's a traveling story. You might not like it but here it is nonetheless.

Three chicks - me, neurotic apple shape, and a one that is overworked with no break in two weeks.

The people: neurotic could not sit in the back. Overworked needs a nap and will sleep most of the ride down. Me driving, not knowing where the heck I'm going.

The place: House of Blues in Chicago

When: Tuesday in December

What: Kevin Spacey singing Bobby Darin - promoting Beyond the Sea.

The trip: overworked girl didn't remember to carry ID to get into the club, so we have to argue about having the id or drop her off for the night. Neurotic and I were like, let's get the id and get moving. Overworked was like just drop me off cause it's obvious I need to rest.

So the drive of 1/2 hr to Sherwood happened with the two of them kinda arguing about this drive and how much she needs to get out. I was like do we need to argue about this since I'm driving there; "make sure you have the keys before I get ticked about being late."

Drive there was pretty uneventful. We did see the traffic heading into downtown.
"Figure an alternative route otherwise we are not going."
Good thing Lake Drive was an alternate route. One I know well from capital drive. So I dropped off overworked, went up the road to get more gas, turn around and pickup overworked.

Once on the road to Chitown there were not many issues. Overworked stated when she needed to be wakened to get the paint on. Neurotic and I just chatted away a variety of issues. Mostly girly issues.

Once at House we had issues trying to find a decent spot to park ourselves to hear and see it well. Figured hanging by the steps near the reserved was as good as it gets. Security guard was pretty cool. Telling folks it was the reserved and to just find another spot to watch the concert.

This was my first time here. We had a lot of first with the three of us - doing the Ipass (first for all of us), someone else driving was a first for the neurotic, and first for overworked was someone else giving directions. Small firsts but firsts nonetheless.

Spacey was fun to watch and hear that he can actually carry a tune. I guess most can with enough personally training. He was kinda fun to watch on the stage. I would do it again but then again I can on the silver screen when I get a chance.

Drive back was pretty cool as well. The three of us were very awake and really didn't want to leave Chicago. We did only due to work the next day. Christmas decorations on buildings and porches in the area were really beautiful. Enough to talk about coming down another day soon to enjoy the town; hence Titanic exhibit.

How that smarty folks that think I need to report travel experiences. :p=
