2knude's blog post - weekend update

This weekend was the annual bears/vikings get together here in chicago. It's a great weekend, many of our minnesota friends come down for the game. On friday my brother arrived in town. I picked him up at the airport and took him to his hotel. He checks in, they give him a room on the "13th" floor. I didn't think hotels had a 13th floor. We get off the elevator and notice the strong industrial chemical smell in the hallway. My brother enters his room unpacks all his stuff, ok it's time for dinner. We exit the room and wo there's that smell again. He decides he cant handle it and we head for the front desk. The front desk gave him a room on a different floor. Great we have to go back to the room and pack everything, not to mention unpacking everything again. Finally we were off for dinner and meet up with a couple of the minnesota friends. Lot's of drinking and good times.
During the day saturday I attended the cd release party (previous blog) It is such a good time, to see these bands up close and for free. Saturday night was the dinner get together. It was dinner for 16. We reserved a private room at this nice place downtown. We had a 1500 dollar minimum. There were alot of bottles of wine ordered. The reservation was for 7. No one ordered any food til about 9. One of the minnesota boys always says a prayer of sorts. They call him the preacher. The room was all men. He begins the prayer of why we get together, is it football, good friends no not really, it's pussy he says. We were laughing so much as he goes on about our quest for pussy. We had a fantastic meal, alot of laughs and surpassed the 1500 dollar minimum. It was a good night.
Sunday was the game. Unfortunatly we only had like 7 tickets for the game so I didn't go to the game this year. Later on I got together with one of my brothers friends for a hockey game. He has great seats close to the ice. The hawks won in overtime too. Just a great weekend.
