I had a lot of fun yesterday which I've found is preventing me from being productive today. So, I'm hoping if I get all of my excitement out in my blog, I'll be able to finally be productive, although I'm not holding my breath.

So, early yesterday afternoon I headed out for a fun-filled day of gambling, drinking and ogling Keith Urban. The real excitement began as my friend, Barb, and I were driving. We were going through this patch of construction on I-74 so I was looking around and saw this guy on an awesome, custom Harley. Being the obsessed fan that I am (I don't stalk him or anything so don't worry) I recognized the custom Harley from his video. Then I noticed the jacket and the hair. I was pretty sure it was him, but then I figured that was silly. Why would Keith Urban be riding around interstate 74 in the construction? Well, I guess I must have been to distracted by the idea of seeing KU, that I didn't notice that we had missed our exit and were now heading in the wrong direction. After about an hour (when we should have reached the casino in 1/2 an hour), we noticed we were fair from where we were supposed to go. For those of you familiar with the area, we were in Dwight, IL instead of Peoria. So what should have been about an 1 and 1/2 trip ended up being over 3 hours. We finally made it to the casino and decided to only play the slots. Just so no one worries, I came out even thanks to Barb who gave me $3 which was just enough for me to win $50 to make up for the $50 that I had lost.

After gambling and the $20 buffet dinner (yeah, I thought that was a little outrageous), we headed over to the concert. It was awesome! Probably the best concert I've been to. Now, back to my earlier point. So, part way through the concert, Keith's talking to the audience about what he did before the concert. Then he mentions that he rode his Harley out on interstate 74 and complained about the construction. So, figuring the time that we came through and what he said, I am convinced that I did see him. I know this isn't exciting to most of you who probably don't even know who he is, but I thought it was cool that I actually saw him out, not just at the concert. For anyone who is interested in motorcycles, his is even better in person than in pictures. I believe he has pictures on his website if you're interested.

So that was my excitement for the weekend. Today I've had some trouble concentrating because it sucks doing homework after having so much fun yesterday. Well I guess that's just how it goes. Back to the books for me.
