I will call female bartenders "babe" and male bartenders "chief"

My sister's wedding is in T – two weeks, so she is in town from Las Vegas to celebrate. We're headed to Sushi Samba Rio for dinner and Swirl Wine Bar before hitting additional River North hang outs... where, we will no doubt be coerced into the company of "Look at My Stripe Shirt!" men.

Nothing like a bar filled to the brim with d-bags to remind you why you are agreeing to spend the rest of your life with someone.

That's what I say anyways- Call me old fashioned.

Loving. Loathing. Listening.

Loving: My pretty new site!!!! Special thanks to Epic’s skills and time!

Loathing: Today.

Listening: You Can't Always Get What You Want, The Rolling Stones.
