let's party

They say you find love when you least expect it, and, let me tell ya, love was certainly the last thing I was looking to find at a bar at the end of an extremely stressful week of final exams during my junior year in college. The universe had other plans, though. I met Pat when he was bartending at Bruno's Lounge in Rogers Park, Chicago. Pat was working the night before my last (and most important exam) of the year, and my roommates convinced me to go out for "one" beer. Pat was nice and gave me a coaster and we didn't think much of the encounter until the next night when we met there again and I forced him to play me songs on the jukebox. We got to talking, and the rest was history. Not much has changed since then, and Bruno's is still our favorite spot in the entire city for a cold beer, good tunes, and memories of falling in love that fateful summer. XO -B
