As you all can tell, the Plot Your Escape event did, in fact, turn out to be real. I may have been the only one on the face of the Earth who was worried about a possible scam, but to me…no info on the internet can be a deal breaker. The internet knows all and … Continue reading

Songs of the day – Plot Your Escape artists – Sara Bareilles and Maroon 5
As excited as I am for this Plot Your Escape concert, I have a few fears…mainly because there is practically zero information about it online. I could Google for hours and come back with nothing more than a time, location and pile of tweets from people asking how to get tickets. However, I did meander … 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
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
Song of the day: “ATL to LA to ME” – Stamps
Today is Friday and as usual, I spent my morning on the prowl for a “Friday” song. No, Rebecca Black’s hot mess of a YouTube video will not be gracing your ears via Haute Thought today; though if you want to have “fun fun fun fun,” you go right on ahead and add that song … Continue reading
Song of the day: “Falling Apart” – Matt Nathanson
Listening to DJs Eric and Kathy during my frantic race (if I could highlight “frantic race” and make it size 100 font, I would) to the train station this morning, I learned a bit about Matt Nathanson. Eric informed listeners that Nathanson has to be at least “6 foot billion” and both he and Kathy … 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
Featured Artist: California Wives
Forming a band from a group of individuals that have been trained in genres ranging from classical music to rock music to electronic is a difficult feat. Each style has its own strengths and complications, and attempting to fuse them together could easily turn out to be a jumbled mess. California Wives, a four piece … Continue reading
Yay or Nay: Just because you’ve seen it, doesn’t make it right.
Police report: Fashion crimes have taken a severe turn for the worse. Individuals are wearing leggings with crop tops. Red and hot pink closet vomit has been spotted on individuals roaming the streets of Chicago. What’s ok to do and what isn’t? With as crazy as some of the items labeled as “couture” in our … Continue reading
The Man in the Mirror
Today, the world says goodbye to an international superstar. Michael Jackson, a natural-born performer, stunned audiences everywhere with his songwriting abilities, versatile voice and impeccable dance moves. I found out about Michael Jackson in a text message while I was in the middle of the city of Chicago. Since this was such a shock, I … Continue reading
