Wicker Park Street Festival
















Michelle and I spent the afternoon at the Wicker Park Street Festival. There was a pretty good line-up of bands and I was happy to see that The Record Low and Moxie Motive were playing back to back sets. I haven't seen either band since last fall, so it was fun jamming to that for awhile.
Today was perfect street fest. weather! Sunny, breezy (my skirt got away from me a bit while walking down Milwaukee- such a dangerous street that is) and only about mid-80s. Gorgeous! (I got me a little sunburn on the shoulders but it was well worth it!)
Also, Michelle's friend from college, Boyd, is in town with his band, Human Television, so he joined up with us for a few beers. I gave Boyd a copy of The Reader, so he could see what the music editor wrote about his band. Human Television even got a pic put in the paper! Woot!
Afterwards, the three of us hit up Earwax for some dinner. Earwax is one of my favorite veggie restaurants in the city. Yum!
(I love watching the kids dance around at the street festivals.)

I love this city in the summer. :)
