95 degrees. 75% Humidity. Heaven.

Although Cali is up there with my top vacation spots, there's nothing like visiting my homeland...'the city that starts with a C, ends with an O, and has a heh-cahck in the middle' as the Super Fans once said on SNL. Last weekend was a weekend to remember - perhaps my best trip yet. Accompanied by guest VIP Dr. Beckett, in his quest to use all of his vacation up and max every credit card before heading back to the land of flowering meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate. Friday entailed a home-cooked meal of brats and more brats, and a night out at Features, located in the burb of Naperville (money magazine's #2 place to live in the US this year, ohhhhh!). Friday blended into Saturday, where we had some chi-town eats and each had heart-attack #2, with a big beef and sausage combo with cheese courtesy of Portillos. From there I took Dr. Beckett on a magic carpet ride on the red-line 'El' up to Addison Street exit, where we endured ridiculous heat out in the bleachers, sucking down beers simply to stay alive. Think Coachella 06. Anyway, my Cubbies shit all over the 1st place Mets, for at least one day it was a good day to be a Cubs fan. The scoreboard says it all:
With an hour to kill before hitting up The Bronx @ The Metro, it was time for some more eats and beers. Lucky's, a block south of Wrigley, serves their famous sandwiches that come with the slaw and fries on the sandwich. Sure, why not...double pastrami and cornbeef with cheese it is...heart attack #3:
The Bronx concert was this shit, and I was pleased with the Metro; another first-time venue for MetroD. As such, it deserves its own post, which I will hit up tomorrow...until then, enjoy some Super Fans:
