Skip to the Lou

Look out St. Louis, here I come! That's right, if you haven't heard the news, I will be going back to the hometown this Labor Day weekend. Good ol' St. Louie. I don't really miss it, but I am excited to see a lot of my family and friends. Oh yeah, Kristen is coming too... Jake will be staying with his permanent dog-sitter - his aunt Jaime.

In case you're curious or would like to run into me if you weren't planning already, here is my agenda.

Friday (today):
Come into town late in the evening and stay at my mom's.
Most likely go to sleep immediately following our arrival.

Saturday:
Get up early to go to the Mizzou/Illinois Braggin' Rights football game at the Dome with Steve (bro-in-law) and the brothers Tucci.... we're tailgating!
The game is at like 2 or 3 and takes a few hours, so not sure what we're doing in the evening. however, this day is pretty booked for me.
Kristen is getting her hair done in the afternoon and may have some other plans after that which I know nothing about, so you'd have to ask her.
I'd like to meet Justin and Lacey (collectively, the Hahns) at some bar on the Hill around 10pm to see a guy they know sing and play guitar - if I'm not too shit-faced (which isn't likely) I may do that.

Sunday:
Visit with the family in the morning and probably into the afternoon. I think my mom is having people over for BBQ and a swim, weather permitting.
try to catch up with some friends... Matt beck is in town from Rhode Island, so we talked a few weeks ago at meeting up at Frankie G's to reminisce about old times... and I'm sure we'll watch some game on the TV. I haven't confirmed this one yet, but I'm pretty sure that's the plan. It has to be later in the day because of the other stuff I said I was doing earlier.

Monday:
Kristen has to leave on a train, since she has to work on Tuesday... so I will take her to the train station at some point, but we may try to catch up with some people before then if we have time.
That night I am not doing much of anything - I'm sure something will be going on... if not, I will go to my condo.

Tuesday:
Go to my condo to check things out and clean the rest of the crap out of there. I also need to paint a few walls, etc. I will spend the majority of the day there, I imagine.

Wednesday:
I need to make a few rounds, networking-wise. I am seeing about a new project I might work on (remotely, of course) in StL. I also need to see about getting paid on some stuff I've already done... I hate hunting down money.
I am also going to be playing in the Divisional Playoff game with my old softball team. It kinda works out perfectly because they actually need a player and I will be in town. So, despite my absence the past 5 games, I will be playing the entire game.

Thursday:
Head back home to Chicago. Hey... I have work to do!!

Pretty action-packed weekend, as you can see. Hit me up if you want to.
