Cold in Chicago

Once again, the Attic show lived up to expectations. We arrived in Chicago around 8:30 p.m. Friday. After spending a few hours at the hotel, we ventured out into the blustery cold to meet up with some new friends. By the time we headed out, it was Saturday, but that's not a problem. Bars in Chicago don't close until 4:00 am. We had a wonderful time getting better acquainted with some people we met at prior concerts. Breakfast turned out to be superb burgers from room service in one of their rooms.

Returning to our hotel room around 6:00 am, we slept until it was time to meet some new bloggers at a restaurant down the street from Martyr's. Luckily, we found out there that the Meet & Greet was actually before the show this time, not after. We could have missed the M&G because neither of us took our computers. We shivered in line but once inside, the warmth was evident everywhere from the fellow bloggers we met, from Mikey, from Pete and especially Rachel. Simon was exceptional performing as was Mikey. I think that this Attic show was the best performance by Rachel that I have seen. And, I enjoyed hearing Joe Purdy and Alexei Murdoch for the first time.

Again, after Martyr's, we went out for a few hours, but not staying out until the breakfast hour this time! Weather in Chicago was freezing, but I understand the temperatures warmed up after we left. Today in PA, it was almost 60 degrees!
