On Saturday afternoon, we went to a showing of The Dark Knight at the Navy Pier IMAX theater. That movie was awesome! And watching it in IMAX was so cool! Some of the scenes made me lose my stomach (people jumping off buildings, Batman flying, etc.) Oh, did I mention that the only seats left were in the very first row! It definitely wasn't as bad as sitting in the front row in a regular theater, though.
After the movie, we decided to go to the Retro on Roscoe festival. As we were heading out from the movie to find two cabs (there were 7 of us in total --- me, Matt, Erin, Ross, Hany, Grant and Brett)... Grant managed to work out a deal for us to take a limo from Navy Pier up to the festival for $50. We decided to go for it and when we got in the limo, the driver said we could drink anything that was in the bar (which included Heineken and Bud Light!) Score! : ) So, we rode up to the festival and each had a beer on the way.
We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Riverview Tavern. We got into the festival just in time to see Sixteen Candles play. That band is so much fun to watch... they really get the crowd going. We lucked out and found a spot not too far from the stage.
After the concert, we went back to Riverview Tavern for a few more drinks. Keeley (Ross' sister) was there with a couple of friends, so we all hung out. Then Matt, Brett and I went to the Diner Grill. Matt hadn't been in a little while and was craving a milkshake. Brett had never been there before (crazy, I know!)
After some cheeseburgers and a quick call to Barry (we were playing Amarillo by Morning after all), we totally crashed! What a fun day! : )
