Thanks Peoria


    Took off yesterday with a good friend of mine to head to Peoria, IL. It's been a long time since I've been to actual Peoria, I'm usually just in the neighborhood for Summer Camp. 

    We checked into our hotel and went to find food. Ended up at Obed & Issac's Microbrewery. They are located in an old church. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the church gave the restaurant a cool vibe and I highly recommend it. 


    After our late lunch we went back to the hotel and took a little nap before heading to see Gov't Mule and Avett Bros. I haven't seen either band in quite some time and was really impressed with the Avett Bros. Gov't Mule was a bit of a snooze but I expected that. 


    We woke up early to hit the hotels breakfast buffet and now we're full and headed back to Chicago. (I'm not driving) Going to see if I can work for a bit then I'm stopping to see some Phishy friends in Indiana on my way to Kentucky for two nights of Goose and more friends! 

Much love ❤️

A little Phish

    Spent a weekend at Deer Creek with so many friends! A great time was had and I'm looking forward to this weekend in Bethel, even if it's going to be a wet one!      After Phish I ended up in Ohio for a few days. Spent a lot of time outside and laughing with some of my favorites. Tomorrow I'm back on the road again. I'll be crossing off another state from my list, working, camping and checking things out. I made sure to give myself plenty of time for all of that in-between shows.  Much love ❤️

Summer of Jenn 2

    Started off Summer of Jenn 2 with a short trip to one of my favorite venues to see one of my favorite bands (moe.) play an amazing show with some amazing friends!      I was going to take a quick disco nap and head straight from Dillon to Chicago but my car has been burning oil and my roommate insisted I get it fixed before I drive across the country. $600 later and I was told to just get a new car. Thanks... I guess I got new spark plugs too but I could've done that myself.      I'm a day behind on travel so I decided to do the drive over night. Haven't really done that before, I usually leave around 2am. Wish me luck!  Much love ❤️

Skipping Stones

    Yesterday was an amazing day! We swam at Salt Creek in the tiny town of Richmond Dale (population 300). I learned how to skip rocks, we caught crayfish and played in the small waterfall. After we went back to a friend's house until way too late and played Foosball, air hockey and pool. We laughed and laughed. One of the guys there is a mechanic. I went back today with the car and almost caught a break! The part that will fix all my problems is only $25. SCORE! But no one in town has it in stock and I need to leave Saturday morning. Hoping I can find it somewhere tomorrow 🤞              After dealing with all that today I went and visited my friend at the brewery they work at. Had some awesome food and drink and then came back to the house. I am beat. Hopefully everything works out with the car tomorrow and I can be on my way to a very very busy Saturday with stops in Hammond, Chicago, the suburbs and a wedding out...
