See it Again

I saw the last half of the Twista video on BET last night. Most of it featured partying on a boat while floating down the same section of the Chicago River over and over again...I saw the dancing groupies around Twista and remembered back to one day last spring where I sat on my bus as we drove by the river. I saw trucks and equipment set up. It looked to be a filming session of some kind along the river. As my bus drove right by the set at 8:30 in the morning, I saw a few model-looking types sitting in fancy directors' chairs on the Wacker Dr. sidewalk. They were freezing their asses off. I specifically recall a smoking hot african-american woman in a skimpy brown dress (turns out she was in the video). I recall thinking to myself at the time "I want to be a rap star." So when you see the daytime shots in that video...picture me rolling by on a bus near the bridges in the background...pondering life as a non-rap star.
