Alright, it has been a week so I think I can attempt a massive recap of the cubs/twins Chesney concert double header. I am going to start from Saturday morning about four hours after I finished the post about Friday night (Riggins Shirts, Butch McGuire's). But before i get into it a few pieces of information to settle......
1) I just saw the hangover for the second time. I am going to have to see it a third time it so tremendous. I recommend it very highly. (see the title of the blog)
2) The Riggins Rigs shirts are coming by the end of the this week. I have two XLs, 6 Ls, and 3 Mediums left. Just let me know. Also if you want to see what they look like let me know, but if i were you i would wait and be suprised.
3) I am starting to come around on the cubs. They fired their hitting coach, and the bats are alive. Like my crotch after watching Erin Andrews in the dugout in Omaha.
4) I never caught up with Stupid after Friday night. I am pretty sure I alienated him after drinking myself to the point of delusion and was convinced that he was trying to hook up with this chick I thought i liked. Eventhough this chick makes me miserable.
5) I fell in love for about the tenth time in my life. Fun Guy's sister is an absolute smokeshow, complete aviation gas. Traded some decent big game style "I am pretty sure we are in love" text messages. Refuse to capitalize b/c i am a complete loser.d
6) While writing this i am watching one fine day with clooney and pheiffer. Besided three kings, out of sight, and peacemaker it is clooney's best movie.
Saturday.......
1015am-- Wake up with my polo shirt from last night, check my phone and start to flip out b/c first pitch is at noon. Make calls and set up a ride to wrigley. Completely still hammered.
1030am-- Jump in the shower and cover myself head to toe in Axe recovery shower gel (http://www.drugstore.com/qxp151246_333181_sespider/axe/shower_gel_recovery_invigorating_electrolytes.htm). I can not recommend this stuff highly enough. It completely pieces together your life. Give yourself and neck massage with this stuff, it feels like you just slept in Ritz Carlton bed for 8 hours after having sex 5 times.
1050am-- grab my stuff to jump in the car and head to wrigley. realize my blueblocker viper edition http://www.blublocker.com/prodinfo.asp?number=2703K were busted. Vow to get new sunglasses before the day ends
1145am--Jump to will call to grab the four tix i arranged for and head to murphy's http://www.murphysbleachers.com/ . Try to stuff down a bloody, realize it ain't happening, switch to guns (ice cold king cans). Game postponed 1/2 hour until 1230.
1215pm-- head to Vines to meet Game and Andy. http://www.cubbybear.com/vinesonclark/. a shot and a beer, before heading into the game.
1230pm-- Sit down in the seats, 18 rows up from home. surrounded by twins fans.
100pm-- It is obvious that the cubs are hitting with wet spagetti noodles, so i give up and make friends with everyone sitting around me.
115pm-- Spend time talking to DJ and Meg, a couple from St. Paul in their 30s. They came in for the weekend and both have monster lip piercings. I immediately asked them about lip piercing and why they think it is a good idea. nod my head at their ridiculous explanations. Find out they are bartenders, that don't drink. Laugh at them and lose interest.
200pm-- Try to watch the game, but realize that some slap dick twins rookie is shutting us out.
215pm-- The four dudes behind us are in for a guys weekend and are from Nashville. Talk titans, Vanderbilt, Jay Cutler with them. Pretty strong effort out of them. One of them mentions that he went to Auburn. Spent the next few minutes tapping people on the shoulder and pointing to the Tiger/War Eagle, while comically explaining that he went to "AllBarn".
245pm-- drink beer and complain about the cubs.
315-- we get two runners on in the ninth against nathan, fail to do anything. Lose 2-0
320-- Buy a Midway Jay tshirt outside the stadium (navy blue, orange lettering, a siloutte with him in a drop back)
330--Head back to vines. It is finally sunny out. hit the porch and make friends with a bachelorette party. pretty sure they were 60% lesbians. hang out and buy a shot for me and the bachelorette. Lose interest head back inside and run into about 30 people from high school.
415-- head to strange cargo (http://www.strangecargo.com/) hipster central, to pick up some gear. Grab some sunglasses with orange rims to go with my new cutler shirt. Also grab a bears belt buckle (the bears head). Switch out my Cocky belt buckle http://www.ohsaidrose.com/catalog/item/4065350/4199038.htm for the new bears version.
445-- head to trader todd's. http://www.tradertodd.com/. hang out on the porch and slug beers. demand to do a shot of the ski. (The ski is this old water ski with four holes drilled into it. The bartender places the shot glasses in the ski and four people line up and put their mouths on the glasses. the bartender then tips the ski up into your mouth. it is tremendous) Take pictures in the sailboat on the porch of trader todds.
530--Get dip, head to wells on wells http://wellsonwells.com/ . For a few more beers before the concert.
745-- After dealing with some parking nonsense, get into the solider field. Realize that sugarland is still on. I have seen them about 4 times already and Jennifer Nettles did not look at hot as usual. Head out solo to storm around solider field and dip like a maniac. get a text from my old girlfriends cousin, meet her outside one of the gates. drink beer and reminsct about the good times from last year.
830-- Go to my seat and meet up with my crew. make friends with the groups of girls behind and in front of us. piss off the one female in our crew, who was a last minute replacement.
900-- Kenny comes out from the middle of the crowd, suspended on a seat, belting out "live those songs again". He is about 20 feet from me and the place is going ballastic.
915-- Lose Game for the night. He was too hammered to find his way back to the seats, but did end up running into Cutler on the floor.
940--lose Field for most of the night. She went to get beer/bathroom but didn't have her wristband to get back on the field.
940--1120-- epically raged with Andy and the girls in front and back of us. Sang all the songs, pounded beers, danced and somewhat molested about 5-6 girls. Ryan Dempster came out to sing "back where i come from"
1120- Field comes back and tards big time b/c the security guards yelled at her. She pouts, we ignore her.
1140-- Kenny comes out for the encore, but instead of doing the typical two to three covers, he busted out in a monster keg in the closet show. Songs included...."the joker" (steve miller) "mary janes last dance" (tp and the heartbreakers) "the fireman" (strait) "hurts so good" (mellencamp) and one bob marley song that i don't know the title of. great recap of the concert on his site under news section http://www.kennychesney.com/home.php
1200-- In the parking lot with the girls in front of us, making out, lots of yelling, typical fight between me and field. by this time i am completely cashed out and can only say "kenny powers, you're fucking out."
1230-- run out in the middle of Lake Shore Drive to stop a cab and head to innjoy http://www.innjoychicago.com/
1230-2am-- try to drink beer. only able to get two down. dip outside and dance while wearing my sunglasses in a dark bar.
230am-- pile in a cab and head to taco burrito palace #2 http://www.yelp.com/biz/taco-and-burrito-palace-chicago-2. Snap up a chorizo quesidella.
300am-- head to this apartment, smoke, overlook the lake on this incredible porch
330am--pass out on a pull out couch.
This took forever, hope you enjoyed, I laughed about forty time remembering all that i did.
