Accidental Trip

So about a week ago, I was just mosing around killing time and reading up stuff on the Internet. I tell ya, it's the best invention to come along for the American productivity! No shame here, as we are the only freaking nation where Corporate America is deathly afraid of the V word. And that V word would be "vacation." So yeah, no shame in saying that the Internet is probably one of the best things since sliced bread to balance out the over-worked lifestyle we all are forced into.

Anyway, my friend Santi from high school keeps an interesting group of friends, and as such I tend to read her blog as well as her friends' whenever I have the time. While balancing my life between constant work and personal life, I tripped over a band called Office in Amanda's blog. And whatcha know, they are from here! Chicago! So I checked them out on MySpace. Thank God for MySpace. Another thing I can thank Al Gore for. ;-)

Seeing that Office was going to play at the Empty Bottle Friday night, I made it a point to check them out. And oh my gosh! I love them. They have a great balance of everything I look for in an alternative rock band, although they probably wouldn't label themselves that. When I heard them rock out, I thought to myself, "Wow, they are like Oasis, Moby, Offspring, and other rock bands rolled into one; except they are way better!" It is sad that Holly and Liz had to bail earlier, considering that they had something to do early the next morning and there were two other bands headlining Office.

But yeah, I have found another band worth going ape over! And what a great accidental find. So thank you Amanda, even though I barely know you in person, except from your daily musings on Gore's contribution to society {besides the inconvenient truth}. =)
