Friday night fun

Z & I are always on the lookout

for fun & inexpensive things to do,

so we jumped at the $1 tickets

for Friday night's CU basketball game.

Not the most comfy seats, 

but a really fun atmosphere, 

and our first basketball of the season!

What are your favorite cheap date ideas?

Chicago Sports

Not only did Z & I go to a
Fire game last weekend,
but we also went again on Wednesday
before they take their
World Cup break.

That same night the
Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.
Parts of that game were played on the
screen during the Fire game,
and afterward, Chicago was crazy!

Yesterday, Z & Adam commuted with me
in the morning, only they headed over to
Daley Plaza where the World Cup
games are being broadcast.

But since the Blawkhawks won, there was
also a huge crowd (2 million)
in the Loop for a victory ticker tape parade,
so the guys got to see that, too!

Last, but certainly not least
(in this World Cup-crazed household),
Z & friends were up early watching matches,
and I met up with them after work
for the USA v. England match.

We had an awesome time and were happy with the draw!
