Wednesday night Dull Drums!

Okay so I don't know if all of you all know but Wednesday Night before Thanksgiving is supposed to be the biggest bar night in the year. Well, I was all excited to go out...You don't have to get up early on Thurs. and you get to see tons of people in from out of town...I was generally excited. So after work I go home and take a nap...I know this way I can stay out later...with the alien growing inside of me I tend to want to go to be at 8:30 pm. (I know it's not very rock star!!!) I get up from my nap and get all cutesied up and off I go to meet friends and Recovery Room to start. Very good crowd at RR...chatted...talked...off to Johnny Vig's. Let me just say I am not a fan of this bar but we had to make a pit stop to meet my friends husband and boyfriend. Just to clarify those were 2 separate friends! 1st of all it was packed...Rachel's Hippo was playing(Great Band for covers) but it was $3 to get in...WHATEVER...then I order a fruit juice and club soda since I am unable to enjoy the adult beverage and they charges me $3.50 for this little dinky glass. More reasons for me to dislike this bar. Thankfully we leave and head on downtown. 1st stop Sullivan's. We sat at the bar and had a drink. Only about 15 or so people in this bar. BTW They only charged me $1 for my drink mix and it was in a large glass. So we go to 4 play next as a friend sent a text that he was there. We pay our $7 cover and low and behold no one is there. I would say in the whole 4 bars there might of been 100 people. To add to it our friend who was supposed to be there was already gone. So we think "Well maybe we should try ICONS down at InPlay. Let me just tell you this placed SUCKED!! There was actually a person break dancing on the dance floor. It's kinda crazy but the look of it reminded me of a teen dance club we had in Peoria when I was a teen called Stage 2. Not when it was by Landmark but when it was off of Willow Knolls. (It was called Confetti's at one time also) We didn't stay to long and finally decided to go to Sully's. Man this bar is under new ownership but it doesn't change. Oh except for the cover charge. They used to have a sign up that said..."You can always party for free at Sully's" Not anymore. This also brought back fine memories of being not so legal and coming up with every imaginable scenario for getting in this bar. Well we did hang at the bar and enjoyed the night but it was fairly un eventful.

So my question is...
Where does everyone my age hang out now?
I don't think it's downtown...I felt very old.
Is it Up town... say at Bar Louie?
Which you can just keep because I have yet to go there and not have horrible service and waited forever for my food and or drink. It's just not my place. To much "Keeping up with the Jones!" going on for my liking.
I should of just stayed tried and true and gone to my neighborhood stomps...Whitey's...Sports Page...and Castle's Patio Inn.
With my age I should know better.

See ya!

The Move is ON!

Okay so we are getting ready to move houses starting tomorrow. We hope to then be done by the weekend after Thanksgiving. It isn't the best time to move but I think this whole year could be summed up as "The Year I had No Control Over!"
Oh BTW We found out we are having a BOY! We already have names because they are after our grandfathers. So Henry Ward it is. I do have some friends who are insisting that I am naming him after Henry Rollins...which in my book isn't a bad role model but if I actually went with the infatuation thing the child's name would look something like " Gavin Hugh Mike Henry Jake Colin Blah Blah..." I think you get the picture. (For Reference if you haven't read many posts...Gavin DeGraw...Hugh Jackman...Mike Ness...Henry Rollins...Jake Gyllenhal...Colin Ferrell)
We will actually call him "HANK" although put together with the last name he sounds a bit like a linebacker instead of a rock star. I did find a great website and I am sure there are more out there but it's punk rock baby clothing http://www.punkbabyclothing.com/Punk_Baby_Clothing.php
I can't wait to do a little shopping there!
I will let you know if we decorate the room in soothing skull and crossbones!
Until next time...
And as promised to O'B I will try to blog more often!
ASTA!

Where does the time go!

Okay so I know I haven't been around lately! And by that I mean in the blogging world. So as you see I was chairing the Peoria Jaycees Haunted House and that about took up every second of my time while not at work. Oh Yeah... I am also pregnant so SLEEP has taken up any other free time I might of had. So sorry to all those who sit and stare blankly at my blog while I don't post anything. I have some comforting words to make you feel better.....Go Get A Life! Hehehehe!
So since NYC my life has consisted of the Haunted House. Since it is not Halloween anymore we are still in the process of breaking it down.
I did get to see a Social Distortion show at House of Blues in Chicago. Supersuckers opened up for them. It was great...EXCEPT since I am pregnant I couldn't enjoy the show from the very front rail. I had to stand in the back at a safe distance. Still a great show but I would of much preferred being as close to Mike Ness as possible! I also made it to Bloomington for a show my friend set up at Pauly's. Went to the last Cubs game and made it home to watch the Bears game. Watch the Cardinal's win the World Series...Whatever...watched the Bears kick some ass on the field...I'll take a superbowl over an undefeated season any day! Oh yeah and we are moving to a new house...not very far...just 4 houses from where we live now...do you think we like where we live? Shawn and Jim went to the Godsmack concert on Sunday in Moline. Breaking Benjamin opened. They also already got their tickets for Disturbed.

So I got some new tattoos...

The top 1 I got done at Freedom Ink in the Heights by Tim Beck...I kinda screwed it up as I let my tank get stuck to the tattoo while it was healing so the Nautical star on the right has to be touched up.
The Bottom 1 also done by Tim. It's my niece and nephews name. At this point I didn't think I could have kids of my own so now that I am pregnant I think my own child would have a complex if I didn't get their name tattooed on me so as soon as that baby is out and we have named it and I saved up the $ I will be adding to that!

So I guess I got yah all caught up...Hopefully I can blog some in the next month or so...JK

Chowderhead!
