DILLO (not the grill)

I can confidently say that this year's Dillo Day went better than the last. But considering that last year ended with me vomiting an entire bottle of red wine between the hours of 4 and 5 am, that's not really saying much. I drove down by myself because Holly wasn't feeling well and I (surprisingly) didn't get lost on the way. Once I arrived in Evanston, I went to Whole Foods, hoping to pick up some "soup" (read: red wine) for posterity, but PBR was on sale, so I grabbed that and chugged a few before heading to Mike Posner. I met up with Mona (former resident, future party companion) and we sang every word to every song.

When the set ended, I went to check the time and the worst thing ever happened: My phone died.

This had three awful consequences:
1) I did not meet up with Katie Quinn
2) I did not meet up with Ankit Jain
3) I did not call Liz

But I decided to make the best of my buzz and wander around downtown Evanston, formulating a plan along the way. Around 7:30 I was thoroughly disappointed in American Apparell's "sale" and sober enough to drive home. But by the time my phone charged and I called Liz, she was still in Milwaukee helping her boyfriend move out of his apartment. Even if she had left that second, there was no way we were going to make it back down to Wilmette in time for Rocky Horror. I was too exhausted to even think about going back out, so we decided to take a rain check. So the day was a little disappointing; not exactly the "last hurrah" I wanted before entering internship hell. But! This is the summer of no-whining. So...

SILVER LINING TIME:

• There are two more screenings of RHPS in Wilmette before August, so this was NOT my last chance to see it this summer.
• When Liz and I do go in June/July, we'll be way more prepared, aka have better outfits.
• Posner's set was so fucking fun and totally worth the trip.
• I just got an ahhh-mazing drunk dial from AJ2.
• There are four leftover (16oz.) cans of PBR in my trunk right now!
• Once again, I've proven to myself that LDOC >>> Dillo Day (and by proxy, Duke >>> NU)

All in all, a successful excursion.
