Lucky Stars!

So I'm definitely in the middle of a lucky streak right now because I just won more tickets! This time to see Digitalism in the Hard Tour at Congress Theater alllll thanks to React Presents! I'm loving how my concert schedule is swiftly growing this week- late summer/fall shows in Chicago are the best!

I love that Digitalism just came out with a new album recently too entitled "I Love You, Dude". It has been on repeat since I got the news this morning thanks to Spotify!









Me thinks it's time for me to go buy my first lottery ticket ever- don't you agree!?!

Lillie Q and Tasting Table

I have to thank Tasting Table Chicago for giving me tickets to one of their Summer Break BBQ events that was held last night at Lillie Q's in Wicker Park. As any quasi-into-food Chicagoan knows, Lillie Q's has been quite the popular BBQ joint in the city. I was super excited to finally get to try out the place, and let.me.tell.you. Deeeeelish. I also was a big fan of the Tamari malbec being served- will definitely have to pick up a bottle(s).

While Chicago Q still holds a special place in my heart in terms of BBQ joints around town, Lillie Q's has now definitely been added to the list of BBQ joints I adore and need to frequent...often!




The Hot Smoky sauce was where it was at!

Gotta love 2 ladylike girls gettin it in at a BBQ joint with no care of the pictures being taken as they overeat.

Items overate included:
Pimento cheese
Regular fries
Sweet potato fries
Ribs
Pulled pork sliders
Tri-tip sliders
Strawberry shortcake


Staring to drool thinking about it...

Do you have a favorite BBQ spot in Chicago?

No Sleep




Lollapalooza

Wowzers. WHAT.A.WEEKEND.

Between free seven hour long parties at the Hard Rock Hotel, photo booths, Mortal Kombat, free tattoos (no, I didn't get one), Art Smith, mud puddles, sneaking in, Deadmau5, and good friends (old and new)... I just don't know where to begin!

Wish I could express all that was the craziness of Lollapalooza weekend, but alas words can only do so much. So here are some pictures, I'll let your imagination fill in the rest...

Looking for Fun

Lolla weekend is upon Chicago- are you ready for the fun??? I will be spending my weekend at the BMF Media parties at the Hard Rock Hotel! They've got some awesome DJ sets lined up including Gemini Club, Hey Champ, DJ White Shadow, and Chicago's own Hollywood Holt. As long as the fun doesn't totally take over, expect pics next week!

Have a killer weekend kids!
