Work has been pretty tough lately. I'm looking forward to what is shaping-up to be a fantastic weekend. Saturday, although I'm working in the morning, I've managed to score some pretty sweet tickets to the Cubs and Cardinals game. In fact, they're about 20 rows behind home plate and are going for an unspeakable amount of money on ticket brokering sites right now. I gave some serious consideration into selling them but after a day deep in thought and helpful discussions with Xtina and with Metal, I decided for a number of reasons that I should go to the game after all.
As soon as the game ends I'm biking south to the Hideout Block Party where I'll see one of my favorite artists - Neko Case. Afterward I'll sprint downtown where I'll start an impromptu parade in my honor and will bring all races and classes of Chicagoans together in a choreographed rendition of 'Twist and Shout.'
Well, not that last part but I'm one trip to the art institute away from what I call the 'Bueller Trifecta.'
Sunday I have the day off and will spend it doing a long ride in the morning - I'm feeling better these days and didn't end up having to see a doctor. My favorite cycle route (the one in which I got hurt) is completely under water in light of last weeks events but the routes on the south side should be fine. After my ride I'll be going back to the Block Party for a concert by the likes of Mucca Pazza, Ratatat, and The New Pornographers - featuring Neko Case.
I'm nervous about getting my hopes up that everything will work out, but I think this weekend will be the kind of urban weekend that I've been waiting for for a long, long time.

Ratatat is totally sweet. i'm glad you decided to go to the game and i hope it is a memorable experience. just try not to think of what else could have happened, because that is a rather fruitless exercise that could be applied to anything in your life and have much further reaching implications, financial and otherwise.
