We spent Saturday morning and early afternoon working alongside other "crows" and Chad Stokes and his wife Sybil. I love that he participates in the service projects. He really practices what he preaches. IMEC is a really cool non-profit organization. They take gently used medical equipment from hospitals and doctors offices that closing or upgrading, clean and fix up the equipment, and ship it to countries in need. We spent our time organizing furniture that would be used in medical offices.
After the project we headed home for a quick nap before heading to the House of Blues for the benefit concert. Since we got their early, we entered a bunch of the raffles, and got a good spot near the stage.
The opening band, Lucius, was quite good and worth checking out again. Finally, it was time for Chad Stokes to take the stage. He played a great mix of his new solo stuff, State Radio classics, and Dispatch songs.
We had a great time and ended the night by winning an autographed tour picture!
I was psyched after we found out we won that picture that I wanted the night to continue, so we headed over to the Hawthorne Bar for a quick drink. Once again, we got great service. We had taken two standing spots near the main bar, but were only there for a few minutes before the hostess came over to tell us two seats had opened up. Since we were only grabbing one drink we didn't move, but it was really nice that they offered. We ended up also grabbing the grilled ham sandwich with a side of frisee salad. Yummy!
With only two more school days before vacation I was feeling like I was going to make it!
