This weekend was great.
Saturday was excellent.
I went to Chicago for something other than work.
There was the stop at Salvage 1, I really like salvage 1.. They rule. 8^) I got a few pics I will post them later this week.. Really I promise. 8^) Another salvageplace opend a few blocks from salvage 1. They are a lot smaller than salvage 1 but quite nice. I have mantles on my brain lately as eventually the sitting room will be a project I have to take care of, and that means a mantle. 8^P This would be so much easier.. But the animals that stole it got away with it. Why? Because I was stuck in a position where I could do nothing about it. grrrrrrr… Well, at least there are some options out there for a replacement. 8^P
Then there was the much needed stop for dinner at the best damm persian place I know of.
The food at noono kabab is so good its not even funny, if you are ever close enough to go there to eat then just do it you will not be going wrong. 8^) It is one of the things I really miss about not working down there.
Finally the main event was Varttina at the Old town school of music. I have been listening to them for a few years now and am a huge fan. This was my first chance to see them live and it was totally worth it. The venue is really really small and has very good accustics so they could have easly gotten away playing unplugged. The live show was easly among the best I have ever seen. I was super happy to get to see Aijo performed live. Ok, I also have to admit they are even hotter in person than in the videos. 8^)
So, needless to say I had one very excellent weekend.. 8^)
