Whooooo last night was fun!
One of Angela's internship duties is to be a judge at the Elbo Room's Battle of the Bands. So I hopped over on the Brown Line to Diversey to see the 2nd show last night.
The Elbo Room is awesome. It's a small underground bar with live music 7 days a week. It reminds me of a pub I LOVE in Edinburgh called Whistle Binkies. So right away I got very nostalgic when I came into the Elbo Room.
The bands were, for the most part, great. Angela's boss let me sit in the judging area with them when the bar started getting crowded. It was like VIP treatment!
At around 12:30 the votes were tallied. I waited outside by the street since Angela was one of the counters. One of the lead singers, a complete dopehead, made several vague attempts to talk to me. I was nice to him but I didn't pursue the conversation either. No groupie am I.
After wandering back inside, I did at least get approached by one hot guy who wasn't on drugs. "So are you one of the band member's girlfriends?" "HAHAHAH NO." "Ahh I saw you sitting over by the judges table the whole night, so I figured..." and then, in a dazzling display of piss-poor timing, Angela showed up and we had to leave. Dangit Angela!!
