Last night was a big night down here for Chicago. I personally caught Brenmar, a solo set by Bruce from Yakuza, Office, and the Ponys, and ran into a bunch of other Chi-towners on the street and at shows. I missed David Vandervelde and Catfish Haven, but reports on them were strongly positive. I also missed Flosstradamus‘s set after the Pack—I’d already stumbled back to my hotel to fall asleep in front of Angel reruns for the second night in a row —but in usual Floss style they’re playing something like 387 parties while they’re down here, so I’m sure I’ll catch at least one.
OK, obviously I need some sort of sandwich or something. After lunch I’m hitting up the trade show for schwag—is it too early to wear a Zune T-shirt ironically?—and then shows, shows, shows until I fall down. I can’t wait to see what White Savage does to the unsuspecting people down here.
