much props to kyle for being my first official visitor who is not a boyfriend and for braving the magic futon. also much props to him for getting me in to see the super furry animals, who put on a fun, adorable show, complete with motorcylce helmet wearing and celery crunching (by the way, the rest of you fools, kyle set a pretty high standard for visitors; from now on every guest is required to get me on a guest list for an awesome concert, or at least the equivalent. mmk?). then props for meeting matt, who is just as nice as he comes off on his site, and props to rj3, who was a master of parallel parking and unparking (he drove to the show, parallel parked, and when we came out, he had been literally bumpered in by a fancy gray bmw. how he got out of there, i'll never truly understand). so yeah. props all around! and especially major props to chicago for being such a pretty city to fly out of at night. whatta skyline.
