1. bloc party at the metro on thursday night. that was a LOT of fun. we got VIP section seating, and i convinced a friend of stv's that i was the drummer's cousin. bloc party fucking rocked the house, it was awesome. the openers weren't half as impressive, but hey, for a free show it was the rockingest. afterwards, stv and i chilled at smartbar where we [NAME DROP] met the lead singer of bloc party, just as we were leaving.[/NAME DROP]2. lunchblog occurred twice, the first on thursday with quinn and stv at hot doug's (just as amazing as i had hoped), and the second on friday with quinn, jp, and ed, at artist cafe (i think that's what it was called).
quinn and i also had a playdate which involved us playing and posing with a britney spears poster we found on the street. truuuue story.3. milwaukee brewers game on saturday. i can't really remember any specifics of the game aside from the fact that we (the brewers) won. it was a good time though, tailgating with some folks i hadn't seen in a while, and drinking a lot of high life. also, i did my best to complete the sausage cycle (hotdog to brat to polish to italian), but i couldn't get past 3 cycles. millah b wasn't upset.. just.. disappointed.
4. i came back to madison saturday night with the intention of making an appearance at both erica cook's and nichole medschool's birthday party, with the extra bonus of ramo returning for the weekend. and i failed. after a long multi-day bender in chicago (the likes of which i hadn't experienced in some time), i came back to madison and was no match for my accumulated exhaustion and lack of sleep (i never sleep well when i go to bed drunk, i.e. the previous two nights). of course, these are merely excuses, and i can only ask, "forgiveness please".
5. murakami update (mostly for chas): haven't finished "wind-up bird" yet, mostly because of aforementioned points #1-4. i don't expect it to last me until the weekend, however. then it becomes a matter of deciding if i should move on to "hard-boiled wonderland..", re-read "kafka on the shore" (as murakami himself suggests reading it more than once), read some franz kafka, or maybe start studying for this rotation's final exam, which will be in a few weeks. anybody interested in a medical school required reading book club? sounds like... boring.
outro: all photos from the weekend have been uploaded to flickr. i'd like to give a shout out to stv slv for hooking me up with the bloc party VIP treatment, BBQ beef and a place to crash, ed lo for also providing a bed the second night, quinn for providing endless amounts of entertainment, and everyone else i saw and hung out with this weekend, some of you more than others (zaid, next time, remember your ID).
