A friend invited me to the OAR concert on Northerly Island last night, and I'm never one to turn down a free ticket. When we got there, we immediately felt old, probably because we were two of the few there that could legally drink.
We left about halfway through the concert to escape the drunk/high retarded highschoolers and began walking home. We walked past the Shedd Aquarium, and into Grant Park, and we were walking through the tunnel right before Roosevelt when some guy ran up behind me and punched me right in the back of the head, then punched my friend right behind his ear. We immediately turned on him and got a few good shots in before finally asking why he had punched us. He claimed that I pushed him during the concert, which is nonsense since I spent most of the time standing there waiting to hear something good.
Anywho, after shouting insults at him for a few minutes, some random guy ran in and tackled him, and about 4 other guys jumped in and started beating up whoever happened to be within arms reach. My friend and I decided not to join the melee, so we walked back to his apartment and slammed a few beers.
Needless to say, my head was pounding this morning, but the Aleve takes away most of the throbbing (although I still can't turn my head all the way to the right). That was the first fight I've ever been in outside of the hockey rink, and I can now say with conviction that I won't be joining a Fight Club any time soon.
So, make with the fight stories.
