so xayarath hit me up halfway through the week asking for vicki’s number because he wanted to go to urbana to support dance2xs uiuc in their showcase preurbanite. and my lazy ass was like “k, i’m riding with you”. BAM. Free ride.
my car had been having SERIOUS problems recently, and for some reason whenever i drove long distances, the low oil gauge thingie kept blinking. that, and also there was an enormous fuckin pool of oil under my car in the garage. i got it repaired after i got back from urbana, and apparently i had been dripping oil hardcore, and had been running on the last few drops. im always afraid of my car spontaneously exploding into a giant fireball of death and fire and explosions. when xayarath told me i had to meet him in aurora to leave from there i was afraid my car would straight up fail on me. somehow i made it without the giant explosion death fireball thing from happening.
once you get out of south side chicago, everything immediately turns country. for some awesome reason we decided to take local for a majority of the way. at some point, we started seeing a long row of slowly flashing red lights, and we were driving right into that alien abduction beacon. apparently they were just a whole bunch of windmills (? really?) with blinking red lights to freak out city drivers in the country.
we roll up in front of the club and find an AWESOME parking spot, then we get a phonecall that our person needed food…the gps i brought with me was basically total poop, since it told us that there were all these awesome restaurants nearby but werent actually there. eff. i guess dunkin donuts is 24/7? and they serve food food (as in non donuts)? who knew. we drove back around and our spot was still there haha. badassery.
so between me being cheap and chris being ghetto as hell, we figured to stop in at a jewel before we left so we could buy alcohol so we wouldnt have to buy any at the bar haha. …and, we started drinking in the parked car before we show up at the club. in an effort to be cheap without missing any part of the show, we just basically chugged shots. a bunch. but i also forgot, that this is urbana and drinks are way cheap, because apparently beer pours out of the water fountain in every city outside of chicago.
Dance2XS UIUC was first up with this awesome performance…i told domi their director that they could use my choreo to bet i bust that i taught a month or so back. and they totally did the piece justice, i was really happy to get to see that piece done on a group, and done so well and entertaining-ly. check out the whole set!
preurb was a lot shorter than i expected it to be, but i had a fun time. i also bought a bunch of drinks at the bar anyway, not because i wanted to get shwasty faced or because i was thirsty, but just because i was excited about how cheap the drinks were lol. hittin up pita pit afterwards and crashing out in vicki’s dorm room. awesome.
bob evans makes some serious breakfast. and there are also a lot of old people, and a lot of balloon-animal-maker people. well, there was only one ballon-animal-maker person, but thats one more than you would expect in a given restaurant.
