Nackers: Text the masses

I went to Chicago after work yesterday and got my new camera lens. It's a Sigma 70-300mm macro lens. The thing works amazing!

After getting home I received a text from Paul saying there was going to be a gathering of cars downtown near Soldier field at 10pm. Before I went, I helped Cory throw a transmission into his g/f car (S13 Coupe). That shit went pretty easy so I left his place around 8:30pm. and headed out.

I got to the Planetarium around 10pm. and there was a concert going on at the docks, so the meeting place changed. I didn't know where I was going, but I stumbled to a location across the street that I remembered from a 240 meet a few weeks prior and recognized it from photos. So I pulled in there and about 15min. later some cars started showing up.

So were hanging out with like 20 or more cars when all of a sudden everyone started going to their cars. I had no idea what was going on, but I figured I better go with. So after a short cruise through the city we pull into a grocery store parking lot. We went down the parking garage and into the shipping/receiving area where there were probably at least 50 cars already there.

We hung out for a while then about 30 of us decided to go to White Castle. After a fairly scary (and FAST!) drive down the highway, we get there and chill for a while longer. Around 2am. or so everyone started to leave so I got in my car and took the 1.5 hour drive back to Rockford. It was totally worth it though. I can't wait for the next one.

Luckily I got my new lens and I got a chance to use it. Here is what I got:
