Bringing Back Bar Hopping on Christmas Eve's Eve!

I'd like to bring back the old tradition a few comrades and myself used to keep.  Bar hopping on Christmas Eve's Eve.  I'm not quite sure where I'll be hopping, but it will be somewhere within the city limits of the great city of Chicago.  I am up for any suggestions in the comments section along with who would like to join me.  I'll keep the blog updated if I come up with any ideas.

Holiday Music Hour Review

Walking into The Hideout, you feel like you are entering your grandfathers basement converted into a bar.  The ceiling height of about 8' made you feel glad smoking was banned at bars.  This may be a place I could see myself frequenting in the future.  It is in the middle of an industrial area, so parking is not a problem.  Oh yeah, and the fact that Guiness is only $5 helps.  If you are into living the "High Life" you'll also love this bar.  Miller High Life tall cans are only $3.

As for the show from Scott Lucas & The Married Men:  The show was being broadcast live on the radio.  The band played mostly Christmas songs, that had their own twist on them.  They also played a few songs off their record.  They started off slow, but soon picked up the tempo with their cover of the Local H song "Hey Rita" that they have recorded as one of their own.  During the middle of this song they trasitioned into "Do You Hear What I Hear".  This was probably the highlight of the night, followed by some other Christmas songs. 

The night ended up at Salud on Milwaukee Ave. where we tried getting Rexie fired from her new job.  I pushed some things off the back of the bar and blamed it on Rexie, but she kept her job.  As far as I know this was the only act of sabotage on her job.  On a side note though, Francis and Mark had a dance off.  It was the two of them vs. a couple girls in the bar.  If I didn't know them, I would have thought that they have been practicing their dance routine for years, which they may have been.  It was like watching a professional dance team strut, juke, and jive to the sweet beats of Bieber.  Needless to say, the women lost the dance off and a new dancing duo was born.

1 Day Since The 2705 Inferno!

 I feel like I could have done so much more.  The burning in my throat has gotten worse, but I still think I could have done more.  I could have roasted marshmallows or cooked some hotdogs on sticks for everyone that was put out for an hour because of the fire.  I should have stayed in the blaze long enough to cook some smores for everyone.  Maybe next time.

2705 West Hirsch Catches Fire! 8 Fire Engines.

Monday morning:  I use one of my last vacation days.  The building catches on fire.  The unit above me started on fire at about 8:30 today.  I was going out to my car to head out to the bank.  Chris, who stayed home because he was chilly, yelled for me to come back in.  He told me that Jen told him Agustin's place was on fire.  I ran in, headed up to the top floor to find it filled with smoke.  I made sure the women, children(Chris and Alex), and mannies got out, then tried kicking in Agustin's back door to save Maggie his dog.  After repeated attempts and no progress, I heard the sirens approaching.  I was repeatedly kicking the door and bouncing off of it.  It had to be quite the spectacle.  It was like kicking a solid piece of rubber in single degree temperatures.  It simply would not give in.  I knew there was a dog inside, and could not give up after one kick, like I would have if it was a cat.  It took me five kicks before I gave up.  I failed at breaking and entering, but luckily the fire department arrived and broke the other door down.  Maggie his dog was dragged out later, and after a little CPR from myself, she is now just suffering from smoke inhalation.  Agustin will be staying at a hotel tonight.  I only suffered smoke inhalation.  More info. to follow after I regain my composure. 

Update:
Fire was started, by of all things, a space heater.  The unit above us has the floor burned and tore up by the CFD.  A little bit of water came into our unit, but no real damage.



By the way, we close on a new condo today.

Been Sick This Week.

Sorry for the slow entries, I've come down with the cold I've been trying to catch for the last month.  Anyway, here's a picture from 2007 for everyone to figure out what's going on.

Again I Call You Out!

Perchance she for whom this bell tolls may be so bad at fantasy football, as that she knows not it tolls for her; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that.

Any team's loss diminishes me, because I am involved as commissioner of this league, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee, Pound 'Em Princess, it tolls for thee.

It's time for the long awaited rematch! This time I settle the score!

Arrested.................again.

It's been brought to the attention of this blog that my girl, or Featherbottom's girl(can't remember, but I think it's mine and he liked the adopted, and then younger one) was arrested on Heroin charges.  This being just after her release for the bling ring robberies.
