EFI 9.1 - Tour Report: 1.26/27.09 ~ Chicago, IL

George On Tour
George reviews the Chicago shows


Allstate Arena @ Chicago, IL - 1/26/09 & 1/27/09

What do you know? It's cold in Chicago, too! Waiting in line wasn't a whole lot of fun in Chicago, either, but it was fairly uneventful. Both shows went off without a hitch, and I don't really have any cool stories to tell. Although, I did get my pic in Chicago Tribune. I also got some Chicago-style pizza the first day. You know you're getting spoiled when you start to expect rare stuff when the band plays two nights in a row somewhere. Nothing out of the ordinary for these sets, though. Granted, both shows were great, but I was thinking that the second night in Chicago would have yielded a rarity.

The Good: Having a night in between shows where we didn't have to travel
The Bad: Did I mention that I hate being cold?
The Ugly: Brad asking everyone who left the arena for a "Chi-town" pick.
