On Friday night, Liz wanted to go see Lady Gaga so we went to her show. I was actually really impressed with the performance she put on. It had great energy and she had lots of cool costumes and outfits she wore. She's also quite the character and seems to be a very intense person.
Before we went to see Lady Gaga on Friday we ate at this really awesome restaurant in the Hard Rock Hotel called "China Grill." The food was quite tasty and I'd definitely go back again. The restaurant itself also had a pretty sweet look inside.
After Lady Gaga, we walked out of Grant Park and ended up walking around Millennium Park which was fun as well. We got a few cool pictures thanks to the huge metal bean there.
Saturday night we went to Green Day. They played a lot of their older music and at first I was under the impression that they wouldn't be as active and as interesting on stage as Lady Gaga. I was wrong. Their lead singer, Billie Joe, was amazing. He had so much energy and enthusiasm it was incredible. He really knew how to get the crowd into the music. I really liked the music they played as well, probably a bit more than Lady Gaga's music. They had lots of fireworks and fire shooting out randomly on stage to help create some excitement. We also got a lot closer to the stage for this one, as at the end we were probably only 75 yards away from the right part of the stage. When we saw Lady Gaga we were probably around 350 yards away from the stage. We ended up getting a ride home from the park on a bicycle taxi for two, which was cool.
On Sunday, we ended up meeting some of my friends for lunch. Then we left lunch intending to go to Erykah Badu at 5 PM after Liz got done getting a pedicure. By the time we got over there though, it was too late to get to her show so we just ended up wondering around, grabbing a bite to eat, and looking at the fountain in Grant Park. Afterwards, we checked out the pool at my apartment (which surprisingly enough I hadn't done yet) and relaxed in the hot tub for a bit before calling it a weekend.
It was a fun weekend with my awesome girlfriend and I'll probably go to this event again next year.
Here are some pics from our weekend adventure. Liz took some really amazing pics!!!
