Its around 11:00 pm on friday night, and I am enjoying some local bands at the usual hangout, The beanery. The beanery, or the bean as we all call it, is a little coffee shop/ live music venue nestled in the not so lovely downtown area of Chicago. I, (chad) am enjoying a jones (soda) when I see my lovely friend lisa enter the building. Lisa loves it here, this is what she calls her second house. She is friends with all of the staff and pretty much gets what she wants from the place free and no questions asked, so shes pretty cool to hang out with.
