Summer has arrived, and it has been lethal thus far. Seriously, it's as if somebody flipped the "Chicago Switch," which means crappy, cold and rainy weather until June 21st, and then BAM: 90 and humid! I'm not going to complain, even if you can feel the humidity the second you step foot outside the door, and your hair instantly resembles the likes of Bozo T. Clown. (Ok fine, I am talking about me. Obviously. Both redheads, duh.)
I'm proud to report that I've officially had my first sunburn of the year. You know me; it's not summer until Kelly is the color of a king crab. In my defense, I didn't plan on being outside as long as I was. Ok...so I mowed the front lawn. And then I said to myself, "Self, you need to assemble the new bathroom corner shelf you bought this morning...outside...on the patio...in the 12pm sun with no SPF 70 on. And then you want to go in the pool post-shelf because you'll be sweating like a whore in church." So I did. It's Wednesday and my shoulders are still 10 degrees warmer than the rest of my body. Way to go genius!
In other news, Melissa and I went to Schubas Chicago to see Eddie K., the lead singer of my all-time favorite (if you honestly don't know this by now...) group LIVE do a solo acoustic performance. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident in the fact that this was my 15th show. And to celebrate this momentous occasion, Melissa and I were FIRST in line to enter. Schubas is a very small, intimate venue. I'm guessing that there were maybe 150 people in there...tops. Regardless; we were front and center. I'm talking being able to taste the salt from Ed's sweat as it dripped off of his glistening body. Yum. As for the performance, stellar as always. I could never see them again..for the rest of my God given existence, and be happy with that being the last. It was utter perfection, and confirmed that if I have get a chance, Eddie K. is my "one." You know what I mean.
Anyhow, I've attached a video of the fabulous Eddie K. doing a rendition of "How Many Roads?" by Bob Dylan. This video is not zoomed in.
I was that close.
Perfection.
