I wish there were more Culver's in the city

I know I said I was going to blog more, so here I am trying to make good on that. I just get so easily distracted by other things!
It's spring time here in Chicago, finally, and I've been loving it. Warmer weather means outside on the bike, having the windows open so this apartment can air out a bit, and seeing lots of live music!
It's not that bands don't come through in the winter. They most certainly do, but you gotta be a really cool band if you think I'm gonna leave the indoors for even a second when it's 2 degrees out. So now it's warmer, and the concert season has begun. Last Thursday, A took me to see Spoon at the Aragon. It was pretty good, though we got there late (5pm doors, wtf?!) so were pretty far back. Oh well, easier access to the beer line.
We're going to see Fanfarlo this Wednesday at Lincoln Hall. This is a newer venue, but I've heard good things and I'm excited. I'm really excited because I just got Them Crooked Vultures ticket for later this summer. They're the newest rock supergroup, and they're fantastic! Also going to Pitchfork, and probably gonna go see Atoms for Peace (Thom Yorke's new solo(ish) endeavor).
In other news, I heard a story today about a guy in Huntley (suburb of Chicago) that attempted to buy some milkshakes at a Culvers with a $100 bill bearing the face of Abe Lincoln. I know it was a Culvers because I Googled the address, in case you were wondering. Now, at first I thought that this just poke lowly of our criminals here. I mean, who is going to fall for a $100 with the wrong president on it?!
But then, I realized that it actually speaks lowly of our fast food employees. The counterfeiter just figured "Hey, kid only works at Culver's. He can't be too bright!" Turns out he was terribly mistaken. I guess I have a new respect for Culver's Workers*
