Well Chicago, Halloween weekend absolutely took me OUT. 😂 Kicked things off with ATLiens at Radius and brought some friends who don't normally go to shows like this. Let's just say they're officially converted because now they're asking to be invited to EVERY show. Ended the night with an overpriced hot dog outside Radius. Worth it.

The funniest part? This was the day BEFORE Halloween. We woke up the next day, looked at each other, and knew damn well none of us had round two in us. So Halloween turned into a hungover scary movie marathon fueled by greasy food and absolutely zero regrets.

Now that Halloween's behind us, let's see what November has in store…
