Blues, baseball and bad boys - our Chicago weekend


Joey and I concluded our trip to Chicago by going to the famous blues club, Buddy Guy's Legends.
We watched Harmonica Hinds get-it-on! It was a perfect way to cap our weekend.
University of Chicago visit, Chicago White Sox game and Chicago blues made for a great mini visit for Joey and I.

The University of Chicago visit was cool because we went without the benefit of an official tour, but we carved out our own tour that was definitely more informative. A nice old guy showed us around the basketball arena after first telling us it was secure and we couldn't go in. Then an Illini football player gave us a personal tour of the football stadium, showing us his locker and a view of the stadium we never would have received. Trulan Henry is our favorite football player now. We Googled him and found out he was arrested for robbing a convenience store and was sentenced to 60 months in a Federal prison. Our best friend at the University of Illinois is an ex-con. Who's cooler than Joey and I.
Then we got a tour of the dorm by asking a random kid to see his room. Parth told us all about how his dorm was the party dorm and how underage kids get alcohol. Thanks a bunch, Parth.

I don't know if Joey will ultimately go here but it was a great visit nonetheless.
