people watching
we left after 10 minutes.
and then we headed to sound bar, but it took us almost 25 minutes to park and after we did get our rock star spot, courtney was denied entry because he didn't have 'acceptable' shoes. damn bouregoise nightclubs! wouldbe clubbers, beware... even a nice pair of steve maddens may put your entry at risk! so after standing around dejected, thinking about what clubs would grant us cheap entry, we crossed the street to go to the hop house, above spy bar (which, incidentally was charging $20 cover). and don't be fooled, the hop house is just a little restaurant (previously leona's) that happened to have a smallish bar area.
the next two hours entailed some small talk (nothing too interesting), some food (boneless wings), and a few alcoholic beverages. but what we did most, was entertain oursevles with the cast of characters walking past the huge glass window. aymeei was truly obsessed with the white bentley parked across the street, and even wanted to stay later to see who got in it. the rest of us boys were truly obsessed with... well, we're guys so you can just imagine what sorts of 'things' we were staring at. i didn't realize, until now, that looking out that window would become the highlight of the evening.
wow. essentially, we drove all the way to chicago to people watch. wtf. good times.
