On Friday I made my only trip to Summerfest. During lunch I went down to the grounds and got a wristband to see Steely Dan at the Marcus. I bought a ticket for J because she couldn’t make it during lunch. I headed down about six because I had to reenter the grounds by seven to use my reentry wristband. I picked up some Thai and sat down to eat. While I was people watching I people watched Luedke of all people. He and Anna were heading over to the Miller stage to check out an act. So I tagged along with them while I was waiting for J. We watched some no name rock group. J finally showed up and we headed to Steely Dan. They’re actually one of my favorite groups and they sounded great. They’re pretty mellow and Michael McDonald opened up for them so it was an older relaxed crowd. J and I stayed for about half the show and then watched the final couple songs of the jam band the Big Wu. We stayed to the end and got home a little after midnight.

We headed to crew game on Saturday. It was just J and I. My brother had hooked us up with some Brewers v. Cubs tickets. We tailgated and didn’t enjoy the parking lot as much as we usually do due to the Chub fans. L, Hand and their sig others met up with us in the parking lot. We headed into the game and it sucked. I’m done with games when the Cubs come to town. The fans are obnoxious and I do nothing but get irate around them and their ignorance of baseball. After a Crew loss we headed to Rascal’s up on North. Hand’s gfriend worked there so we had the hookup. We stayed there almost all night. J went home a little early so I was solo with the group. I left about 1:30. It’s a long walk from North Ave. so I stopped at the Nomad for a beer to break up the walk. There was nobody there but the bartender so I talked to him for a couple minutes. After that I finished the walk home, safe and sound.
