This was our 18-month anniversary day! We went out that night to Naperville Ribfest. We met up with our friends Rodney and Christina there.
It was still incredibly hot, but C and R had managed to score some prime real estate in the shade. Jason and I split a delicious rib sandwich and a huge plate of cheese fries. 
Yummers. We drove Rodney and Christina crazy using our "What's deep but not profound" riddle. We'll be surprised if they ever want to hang out with us again after that ... ;) Then we went to check out Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. We got up very close to the stage to the standing room only area. We were surrounded by people in leather, with tattoos and spikey hair. As we were listening, we all realized that we only knew one song by Joan Jett -- I Love Rock and Roll. Although a couple others rang some faint bells.
After they sang that song (wildly successful
with the crowd), we ran off to see Foghat. We watched them for ages but those dorks never sang any of the songs we knew! Although we did thoroughly enjoy watching the lead singer sing into a fan with his long hair blowing around. Now I wonder -- why didn't his voice get distorted by that fan?

Thanks to Rodney's super iPhone which provided us with directions.
We started out this day with an 18-month anniversary breakfast at the Egglectic Cafe in Wheaton. Then we headed to Batavia to save Jason's mom's cats from starving while she was visiting her sister out of town. The kitties were very happy to see us. Then we went for a bike ride around the Danada preserve in Wheaton. It was 85 degrees, no shade, we forgot water, and there are some good-sized hills. Desperately, we sought out a soda machine at the Danada equestrian center for some liquid refreshment, but it denied our dollar bills! We almost committed vending machineicide. We turned around pretty quickly, but we did do 6 miles total.
