Whew! Remember this plan I developed on Thursday? HA!

Here is my weekend in 3 points: listening, working, and watching.

1. Listening: A good friend texted me Friday evening to tell me that he was on tour performing with Durand Jones and the Indications and would be in Chicago in just a few hours! I didn’t know the group before this event, but they are amazing the venue was sold out. My friend left my name on the list so that I could get in to the venue, which had me feeling like quite the VIP. The group went on at 12:15 a.m., so I rang in the weekend with some live and upbeat funk with hundreds of other Chicagoans at Empty Bottle. Have a listen below.

2. Working: When I received the message about my friend’s performance, I had just finished registering to become a Lyft driver. I have yet to make my first drive; I am thinking of giving it a go on my commute back from work. I will keep you posted!

Have you tried lyft? Are you a driver? If you are interested in driving, you can check it out by going here.

3. Watching: My many hours spent consuming the great Netflix cache of Star Trek has me taking about how to treat surrounding communities and cultures. Biggest take away: as a citizen of the world/galaxy/universe/etc. always follow the prime directive.
