Great.

For starters, Aquapalooza went well. Actually I had hoped for more people, and yes I know it could have been worse, and I know it was my first attempt at doing anything like this... but I can still wish it could have been better. All in all there were about 60 people there including the volunteers. The number after counting everything up was around $800, but a lot of people are telling me that they want to make donations still, so that's great. The bands ran really smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves. It wasn't a stressful night, everything fell into place.
The one thing that really amazed me was that EVERYONE who stayed for the evening put up their chairs at the end. I thought that was really awesome, and I didn't expect it. The little acts of kindness and respect are the best.

I also had someone ask if I wanted to start doing this anually, hey, not a bad idea!

CHICAGO WAS WONDERFUL. Copeland was wonderful. Seeing Chris again was wonderful.
We stayed at his apartment Sunday night, and we walked forever! I have blisters on both of my feet, but trust me, it was worth it. We went to a really awesome book store and then a record store. Chris is a cool guy who knows where the cool stuff is. haha. Copeland was even better the 2nd time. I was smiling so much and I was singing real loud :]. AND THEN!! They played my favorite song (the song I was hoping for all night) as the encore song. That really made the night. Probably my favorite concert.
Yesterday Chris dropped Josie and I off at the Field Museum, and then we walked to the bean, and then finally to the train station. Riding the train was pretty awesome too.
I'd write in more detail but I have an essay to write that I must turn in tomorrow.
:D

I love life.
I love the people in my life.
