Ghostly Night Out

Chicago is gripped by Halloween and it's quite funny because I'm not quite sure what I'm meant to do.

In the midst of my apartment-hunting exercise, I pass all manner of grocery store and clothing shop whose windows are decorated with any manner of cobweb and/or jack-o-lantern.

So tonight's sojourn to the Ghost Bar suggested some sort of freaky visit to a place where grown men dressed as Frankenstein or Dracula.

Sadly, in a way, this was not the case.

I went out - AT MIDNIGHT NO LESS - to one of the coolest clubs in Chicago. Called "The Ghost Bar", it is a haven for cool music, ultra modern decor, and not altogether bad music. Plus the barman is a friend of my friend, so we got free drinks.

I found it amusing to explain to the American barman (very cute - by the name of Ryan) how to make a vodka, lime, and soda. Very complicated list of ingredients haha.

But hey, I was getting free drinks, and I was in one of the coolest places in town. Did I argue? Hell no.
