The Police at Wrigley Field.

The Police at Wrigley Field.

I got to see The Police at Wrigley Field last night (one of two shows at the stadium). Julie and I hung out before hand at The Dark Horse, scouting out the legendary Steelers bar until. We had a couple drinks until we got word from Dom that Sting and his reluctant friends took the stage. We ended up buying tickets outside the stadium for $60 each which wasn’t too bad. I think we only ended up missing 3 songs. The show was good, I could have went without all the “Eeeee-yo!”‘ from Sting but I guess that’s the price you have to pay for a Police Reunion Tour.

Now it’s on to Lollapalooza.

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.

Side Note: Previous Cookouts.

Sammy Hagar spotting at Castaways.

Last night after Julie and I mistakenly decided to walk to Castways where we found Sammy Hagar (aka ‘The Red Rocker’) holding court. If you’re assuming from the photograph above that Sammy only talks to the ladies you would be correct. As most of you know I’m a huge Van Halen fan so this was the light at the end of the tunnel for me. After missing most of the band at the Hall of Fame Induction in New York, last night has to be considered a huge success.
