Random Night

Last night was the most random night ever.

Tim calls me up and asks if I want to go to an Eric Clapton concert up in Detroit because he forgot he had the tickets and wanted to go. Of course I said I would -- I mean, come on... It's ERIC CLAPTON! Well, we drive the hour and a half drive up there and the tickets are duds. Ticket Master sucks, pretty much. Anyways, Tim was willing to drop 70 bucks for each ticket and he was really pissed off about the situation but I became the voice of reason and suggested that instead of dropping 140 bucks for both of us we should just head back down to Detroit (we were about 40 miles outside of the city) and go to some great restaurant and walk the town. We get back downtown and go to this restuarant, The Fishbone, and get some fun martini drinks and the best T-Bones I've had in my life. There was a live band there which, coincidentally, was playing Eric Clapton cover songs. After our amazing dinner we realized we were right next door to a casino so we walked over there and gambled for a little bit. Neither of us won anything, but it was fun to say that we went. After that we headed back down to BG and met up with Liz and Bryce at Quarters. I always find myself at Quarters at one point or another during the night.

On our way to Detroit, though, Tim and I were talking about cities we've been too and what we liked about each one and today we booked a train ticket to Chicago for a weekend later in April. How random is that? So Tim and I are going on our first "vacation" to Chicago April 21st-22nd. We're taking a train up there at 7AM Saturday morning and getting a room for one night. I'm pretty excited about it... We're going to ask Sara and Dave if they want to come and I'm going to call my roommate from my freshman year since he lives in Chicago! Oh man, I'm excited!

Tonight Tim is picking me up at 4PM to go eat at some Mexican restaurant he heard was really good and then we're going to the STORM game! Man, this month is going to rock!!!
