josh ritter, joe pug, and two double gin and tonics later

The minimum charge for a credit card at the vic theatre in chicago is 25 dollars. this is also how much it costs to park directly across the street. two things i learned the hard way. luckily, one can get two double gin and tonics and a bottle of water for just this price. (I would never pay such a price at Mercy Lounge)--HOWEVER, josh ritter and joe pug did not play @ mercy lounge, but they did play "speak plainly, diana" together--a song that's somewhere else on this blog-- and rock a sold out crowd for abbbouttt 3 hours last night.

and then joe pug seemed really creeped out when i told him i had his phone number already and then asked where he lived. i'm not sure why.

he's really sexy. got some smashing blue eyes. i don't think i told him that. he'd heard enough.

anywho. josh ritter's epic set made me feel good about the state of the musical world, and joe pug standing on a huge stage playing just a little ol' acoustic guitar while douchebags talked too loudly =awesome.

i think this was one of my faves. it is so obvious that he loves what he does.
