Moving: Phase II

Phase II of the moving of Sara and I into the eventual new place happened this weekend. Phase I was getting most of my things into a storage facility, that happened a month ago. Phase II was this weekend.

Thursday was the cocktail party for faculty of Sara's school. It's a private school so it was a small affair, maybe 80 faculty and dates/spouses/fiances. It was upstairs of the Firehouse, an old firehouse turned into Bar/Restraunt. Decent time, got some free drinks, played some free pool, good stuff.

Friday I was sick with a cold, well Friday was the worst, I had it on Wednesday, and it's still bugging me today. So most of the day was spent playing online and watching wrestling tapes. Sara came over and we had some Chinese Buffet, then a quiet evening with 50 First Dates. We kept it calm and low key (not Low Ki'), because

Saturday we woke up early and packed up her apartment into Her brother's truck, her Dad's van, and her Mom's Cherokee and got everything out of her place. We unloaded everything at her parents, and she's now living with her parents until we close on the new place. Since I still have no car... (My car is in the shop since someone hit the side of it at some undetermined time, I've been taking the train to work and it's been highly enjoyable. Some time to myself and time with my GameBoy. It takes a touch longer but that's ok, it's getting me ready for when I'll probably be taking the train to work from the new place. Luckily I haven't had to do any walking in precipitation yet, because I hate that with a passion, we'll see how that goes, when it happens.)...I was dropped off at my house after it was done, so I didn't have to be brought back from Sara's house. And putzed around doing some cleaning around the house, and some Wrestling and Olympic watching.

Sunday helped Sara out with the final cleaning of her place. Then got taken to Ruby Tuesday for dinner as a thank you, and then I had her take me to the grocery store since I'm still carless for the vegetables for the week. She had to leave shortly thereafter since she would be grounded if she didn't get home in time for dinner. HAHA she lives with her parents. (It's OK I lived with my Mom for the three weeks between my lease ending and my condo being closed.)

You Gotta Fabe the Market

Friday I was supposed to show my house to some people, but for the second time in as many showings, noone ever showed up. That gets old pretty quick, so I’m going to have it set up so that I don’t need to be at the house for showings, so I don’t wait around forever for people not to show anymore. Then went and caught the second set of The Kissers performing in some bar up by Deerfield. Kind of strange show since I think we were the only people there to see the band, the rest of the place was just regulars of the bar that would have been there band or no. They ended up just playing mostly covers and only a couple of originals, definitely a different show, especially since the mandolin player wasn’t there.


Saturday had some Lox & Bagels for breakfast, YUM, then went off to see the first of three very different wrestling shows on the weekend. This was an outdoor show in a South Side Church’s parking lot. The premise of this group is to act out bible stories in the ring. Saturday’s show was the stories of Peter and Paul. Some of the matches included Steven vs. Doubt w/ his manager Fear; A Triple Threat of Paul vs. His Good conscience (Ben Redeemed) vs. his bad conscience (Bad Intentions); and the Main Event with Peter, Paul, & Jesus coming out on top of a tag team match. It was a good family oriented show that seemed to get over well with the kids. For $2.50, you can’t complain about two hours of perfectly fine wrestling action geared towards the kids. After that went on to the more high end wrestling styles of the IWA show. I might do a write up of that later highly fun. I’m glad I didn’t build up the Hero vs. Dragon match too much going in, because although solid, it wasn’t as good as most expected. But I’ll talk about that in the review if it happens.

Sunday had the rest of the Lox & Bagels then made the rounds of picking up everyone for the Tools show. After making the rounds, Phil started not feeling good so sadly we took him back home and forged forth to the Great White North known as Round Lake Park, IL. A one horse town that makes DeMotte look like a Metropolis. Sometime during this, I notice that apparently someone hit my car, and my passenger door doesn’t shut all the way. The third wrestling show of the weekend was a jokey, gimmicky show that was being put on by Joey (1 Man Orgy) as a goodbye present for his best friend Joe Herro, who is moving away to Arizona next week. They’ve always had a great sense of humor, and been advocates for having fun at wrestling shows. This was a joke card made by them that was to be a just go and have a fun time show. The show was taking place during this town’s little festival so there was lots of vendors and shops to take a gander at before the show, there was also the Indy Wrestling Flea Market; where a couple people selling stuff were selling off Tapes and Merch, and things like that. I picked up 3 tapes of TonyF, and picked up about 8 two-tape grab bags off the dollar table. I’ve only opened one of the grab bags, but I got a SummerSlam master and a Sports Bloopers tape, so who knows what else it’ll bring. I also got the old GI Joe style CM Punk shirt for a buck as well. The show was a good time. Highlights included the Atta-Dudes of AC Morris, and Zack Slater with Jesse Kapowski (all wearing Buddy Bands!!!) and after the match Zack said “Time out” and took a moment to talk to the fans while everyone was frozen. A Midget Ring Announcer. Joe Herro promoting, and spending the entire show wearing a Superman Costume. Steve Stone as a Mormon in a mormon hardcore match featuring felt as lighttubes, paper clips as thumbtacks, and a dildo as the finishing weapon (not flaming unfortunately).

After the show the bar that the event took place at had karaoke, and before we took off, we got to hear Carmine DeSpirito sing Frank Sinatra. Good time at the show, dropped everyone off, and then went to bed.
