Wilco at Millennium Park.

Last night Julie and I headed down to Millennium Park to see Wilco.  As you can tell by the view above we didn’t exactly have great seats.  We were towards the back of the lawn which wasn’t completely packed and the sound was still really good.  The line for beer was one of the longest I’ve ever seen in my life.

Afterwards we headed to the Billy Goat Tavern under Michigan Avenue.  After several cheeseburgers our night was complete.

Beware that the Intelligentsia is alive and well… an clearly fans of Wilco.

First Pork Loin in 2 Years.

The GrillPork Loin.

Yesterday I decided to perform a test run with regards to grilling a pork loin.  Granted this was probably the first pork loin I’ve grilled in nearly two years I think it came out pretty well.  You can always do better but I think we had the right amount of Sweet Baby Ray’s, maybe the timing was off but all and all it was pretty damn good.

4th of July: First Cookout Of The Year.

An excess of charcol might have been the case.Ther is no such thing as an excess of Sweet Baby Ray’s.

To celebrate America’s birthday Julie and I, along with Dom and Kelly put the grill through the paces. Some have pointed out that I really didn’t need to use the amount of charcoal that I did but those would be the same people who point out that the grill is still hot two days later.

After the cookout we headed inside for the first Wii Pentathlon to be held in my Wii Arena. The scoring was close but yours truly pulled it out in the end due to my superior Wii pugilistic skills. It’s fair to say everyone was sore afterwards but none more than Dom after pitching a 5 inning no hitter.

Julie clearly does not like the Corn.The food that was.Dom and Kelly also not liking the corn.
