last summer, siiiigh summer is almost here again, my roommate and i went out in wrigleyville after a cubs game. it was an important game and cubs won. wrigleyville was delirious. the streets were closed and filled with people, the bars were blasting 'cubs go cubs', and we were at the houndstooth for 40oz mickey's. after a few hours my roommate and i started to head home. we stopped at a bar near her old apartment and met a couple guys. had a drink, chit chatted for a while and then i think they started acting like pricks so we headed home again. first we had to stop at a dunk'n'doughnuts to use the facilities. there were some other antics but it was a while ago so i don't remember the details.
we did documet some of the walk home in boystown when we ran into some friendly strangers who posed in a few pics with us. they were hilarious and we were an instant happy family. i think the ice breaker was my roommate's broken sandal which she had been keeping onto her foot only by the shear strength of her first and second toes. i believe it was at this point w/ the photogenic strangers that she finally ditched it and decided to walk w/ one shoe. by the time we made it home she was shoeless. and they were never to be seen again...
i get a chat today from her saying "you'll never guess what i found in the gutter 5 houses down from our apartment!" well i'm always up for a game of 'guess' so i throw out a few real great posibilities; a parking ticket, $100 bill, her keys (any 1 of the 4 missing sets) her gloves, a Hungry doll, yep, it was one of the sandals from last summer. we've had about 3 street cleanings since last year and i've probably walked by it 100 times w/ maddie. i can't believe she finally noticed it today. and there it stays.

I didn't know that was the night she lost them! Well, I remember some of the other antics and they involved making out. I have pictures of several people (none being you or me) making out at Houndstooth. I'm so glad I remember to bring my camera!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Hill's roommate looses things so often that when I went to her apt last week I assumed the note on the building's door was actually from her roommate asking if anyone had found her latest missing item. It was actually just a FedEx note but I bet the next time I go there will be another note from her.
