Since my last review, I’ve come to accept that being old enough to choose to write a book review on my own isn’t a terrible, horrible thing. It’s actually kind of fun since I can write in any font and size I deem worthy. But not Comic Sans. Never Comic Sans. (As an aside, when … Continue reading

Dave Matthews Band, I’m over you
There are a few things in life I will never understand. Why buttered toast always lands butter side down, the Kardashians, Donald Trump’s hair and why Dave Matthews band is so popular. That last one is truly a head scratcher for me. Despite the fact that all of his songs sound the same, each with … Continue reading
Excuse me while I blush
Fun fact of the day about me: I struggle with taking compliments. Sometimes I stutter. Other times I say “thanks” ridiculously fast and change the subject. And then there are the times that I feel the need to reciprocate the compliment immediately and it comes out all wrong. Like the time my highschool boyfriend told … Continue reading
Plot Your Escape – Surprise Chicago Concert: March 1, 2012
I’m going to this? Somebody pinch me, please. If you don’t mind, I’m going to bother you with a small portion of my life story. This is about my inability to win contests. Big, small, short, tall – I don’t win them. I’m pretty sure that if I was the only person to enter a … Continue reading
HauteThought got a makeover!
Seeing that it’s a brand new year, and I’ve had the same layout since 2009 (call me a creature of habit), I decided that it was time to be a bit more colorful. Please enjoy this random hodgepodge of my dad’s records, 2 shoes and a bracelet of mine. Yes, we still have a copy … Continue reading
A digital spin on the music I crave
The signs are everywhere. You know that looming project you attack head on for a few weeks, and suddenly you just…fall off the face of the Earth? Progress stops, and the guilt begins almost immediately. That’s exactly what has happened here. My last song of the day was in August. I’ve been motivated. I’ve had … Continue reading
Lollapalooza 2011 Recap
Better late than never, right? This past weekend marked a moment in history. I, a song hoarder/concert lover/music blogger, finally experienced my first Lollapalooza. I know, I’m on the fast track to fame. First, this post. Next, a music publicist position followed by a million dollar book deal. Slight exaggeration. All joking aside, being able … Continue reading
Listen up, Chicago! ‘Beadquest III: Bead You Tonight’ is coming!
Flight to New Orleans: about $350.00 round-trip Obligatory purple, green and gold clothing: probably close to $50 Hotel/food/drink costs: don’t even want to think about it Grand total? A sobbing wallet, clinically depressed bank account, and minuscule dignity. Luckily, Festa Parties has a solution for all Chicagoans who bleed purple, green and gold and are … Continue reading
Fox News: Fair, Balanced and…Inaccurate?
Check out the allstar mistake published on the FOX News website. It has since been fixed, but apparently FOX spells Liverpool, M-a-n-c-h-e-s-t-e-r. I’m sure it happened because they were so focused on being fair and balanced. Welcome to iTunes, Boys from Liverpool! Click here to see the edited version of the story. Continue reading
“Saw 3D” Review
By: Tyler Deardorff Another Halloween, another SAW movie. It’s a tradition now. Ok, I’m going to be honest and get this out of the way: for some weird reason, I like the SAW movies. Yes, the acting may suck and it may be pretty disgusting but under all of that are pretty good morals. … Continue reading
