Greet The Puppies

Another amazing weekend of music!  Lotus played an awesome show Saturday at The Vic.  That night's version of Greet The Mind was so awesome. We raged hardcore on the balcony, which had a great view of the lights and the band.  Then, after the show, Chuck, the percussionist came by Boone's apartment!  We also dropped in at a crazy burning man party in Ukrainian Village that involved some fire spinners, a karma wash and a band dressed like farm animals.   There was so much to see, I don't think my eyes have ever been open so wide.  We eventually ended the night around 6 or 7 am with a freezing cold overcast sunrise situation on the roof. I might have been involved in the planning of that failed event. 

After a short nap, Ed and I zipped to Grand Rapids where we saw Lotus rock it again, this time at The Intersection, which is actually a really cool venue.  They have a huge bar up front then an even bigger area with a stage and a few bars.  Plus, the bathrooms were really clean!  Kudos, Intersection!  Lotus really made my night when Chuck brought Ed and I some Bell's beer and when they opened with Spiritualize, one of my favorite songs.  Plus I'm pretty sure Chuck smiled at us while he was playing (or maybe he was just drunk). 

Now, after weeks of scouring petfinder.com for adorable puppies, Alison, Peterboy and I are finally going to see some in person.  A visit to the Chicago Canine Rescue should not only warm our hearts with adorable soft puppies but also probably make us burst into tears because Kaia is millions of miles away. I will let you know how that goes.
