  Even though some of our roster has decided to leave,  the Midwest All Stars are still able to win games. nbsp;  Last night,  we took out one of our obnoxious rivals and won the game 5- 1.
nbsp;  Little did I know that it was the first round of the playoffs.  After the game,  my boy Rick asked me if I wanted to go see one of our friends from good old Knox College perfom at an open mic night. nbsp;  I figured 'hey,
 why not? nbsp;  Thursday nights seem to be fun and I need to do something'. nbsp;  So we go. nbsp;
 Good times! nbsp;  Even though there was really not much of a crowd there,  Chris and Curt were more than entertaining. nbsp;  Actually,
 I had no idea who Curt was but then Chris gave me his guitar and I played and sang a few songs w/ Curt. between songs,  we chatted and he told me he went to Knox for a year but moved to Chicago and goes to UIC. after deducing all this info,  I realized who he was.
he's good friends with Karen aka 'Kare Bear',  I remember her telling me about him. nbsp;  Anyway,  he's a cool guy and I'll probably go there next week and play again. nbsp;
 Songs we played: nbsp;  Ghost,  Clarity,  Man On The Side,  No Woman No Cry,
 and My Stupid Mouth. nbsp; nbsp;  Good Times!  So that ended,  Rick and I decided we needed more so we went to McGee's(
1 Bottles WUT WUT!  they closed down and we weren't done yet. there was only one other place to go.  TY's! nbsp; nbsp;
 Wow that place is lame,  although sometimes you can get lucky and have a good time there. nbsp;  Not last night though,  but it was still nice to do something to get& nbsp;
my mind completely of you know what. nbsp;  God bless ya Rick!
