So I am going to CHICAGO on my birthday weekend!!! May 7-10 specifically, flying out on my actual b-day, Friday the 7th. With Stefano!!! To see my beloved Holmes Brothers in concert at a very hip, quaint lovely looking little theater!!! See, I had mentioned to Stefano recently that I was going to be seeing the Holmes Bros. in June at a festival in Virginia w/Bean and we decided that it would be way fun if he joined me on that trip. I emailed him the deets on Monday, and yesterday he called me to discuss. Apparently Stefano noticed that the HB's had listed many more tour dates on their website that I hadn't seen, and he suggested we go see them in Chicago b/c that is a city we had discussed visiting together someday. I was like, HELL yeah, and called Bean to throw out the idea to him as well although he said he'd have to think about it.
Today Stefano called me to say that last night he'd done some travel research and that the trip was totally doable so I said I wanted to buy the concert tickets NOW. I did so this morning and we are soooo going! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! He's so sweet too, he said b/c it's my b-day weekend he will get the plane tix and hotel. If he does that then I totally want to get most of our meals and the admission tix to the things I want to go do, such as the Art Institute and the Sears Tower. I have already been to the Field Museum but when I tried to go to the Sears Tower in October 2001 they were not letting anyone up there yet, so I must do it now! We also want to check out some great blues music/clubs and also go to Maxwell Street. Shit, this trip is gonna be crazy large FUN! And I'll still do Virginny in June w/the Sweet Dick P.
I hung out w/DA last night. I brought him some huge muffins that were leftover from Job #2. We went to the store b/c we wanted to buy some jeans. I got 4 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of slick slacks for work and he got a pair of jeans. Then we went to his house, drank wine, watched Three Stooges, and I was so tired from not getting enough sleep the past couple nights I passed out around 10:30p. But I had to wake up around midnight and go home. Disappointingly, he cannot hang out w/me this weekend after all b/c his restaurant called him and said they wanted him to work Thurs-Sat. I was a little miffed b/c we had made plans to hang out on Fri. night and also he had said he'd go w/me on Sat. night to see a Texas legendary guitarist Alan Haynes and now I don't know who I'll go with. Stefano will be busy recording his band's CD all day Sat.-Sun.--they booked 10-hour days, for real. However DA and I made plans to hang out on Sunday and today Stefano said we would hang out on Fri. night, go out to dinner and make it an early night at my house this time so he could leave on Sat. morning to be at the studio in the morning.
Looking forward to tonight which will be dinner w/L. at her fave sushi restaurant. I'm gonna have plenny of Sake and lotsa sushi! Stefano is taking his parents out tonight as it's their 53rd wedding anniversary! I am so glad I get to hang out w/him on Fri. b/c otherwise it was looking like I wasn't going to be able to see him at all this weekend and we all know how I adore him so.
