Coming to a close...

I can’t believe the summer is truly almost over. It sucks that you spend 9 months of the year waiting for summer and then it flies by with random trips and obligations. At least I took advantage of the nice weather last weekend by going to the beach several days. I also managed to drink a ton. In fact, I think that I drank more last week/weekend than I had in the past 2 months combined. The whole weekend was fun and I managed to visit quite a few new bars and restaurants.

My recommendations:

• Don't waste your time at Dicks Last Resort. Decent atmosphere (if you like people throwing wet napkins/food and 300 Iowa fans) but the food was pretty crappy and overpriced.


• Tonic room, believe them when they tell you they have a minimum credit card order.  I managed to get in a fight w/ 2 different workers.


• When a waiter actually warns you about some food being cooked in its own fat, don't order it. With that being said, the Mexican restaurant on Halsted & Wrightwood is too expensive and doesn't carry plain tacos - we almost left for La Bambas


• Funky Buddha - much to my surprise, not too bad. But, this was probably helped by the fact that I managed to get the bouncer to cut our cover in half and some nice boys from TN bought half our drinks.


• I highly recommend the Kit Kat Lounge - one of the funnier things I've seen in awhile. They have half priced martinis (which were damn good) and drag queens dancing, and it was still quiet enough most of the time to have an actual conversation. The dancer Sunday wore very revealing clothes and I'm still not sure how it was a guy. Only regret is that I didn't have a camera with me.
