Yesterday's show in Madison was a blast as always-the Alchemy is a fun venue to play, despite having a very small stage. Maybe we should release our hypothesis (that doesn't always hold true, but quite often) about the inverse fun to stage size ratio. . . science fair project anyone? But I digress. . .
Today we returned to the Jelly Belly factory north of Chicago to get some tasty fuel to finish out this tour. We were lucky enough to be able to park next to the official JB car. Boy did our car feel special.
Ah, the midwest--check out the marquee message on this corner store sign. . .
This evening we finally found our home venue in Chicago. We played at the Red Line Tap, a venue with great sound, wonderful employees, cheap drink specials, a safe neighborhood, and an enthusiastic crowd. What's not to love? We'll be back in the late summer for sure. . . but now we're searching for a Steak 'n Shake after just losing an hour crossing into EST--wish us luck!
