Friday marks the one-month anniversary of my tenure in Chicago, during which time I have not been to a single concert. This is completely at odds with my previous habits and isn't helping me maintain the connection to reality that is constantly under threat by a mounting pile of important-looking books I have to read, highlight, outline and brief.
Happily, Bluestate favorite Of Montreal is coming to town, so I'll hopefully get to go, assuming I can find someone to go with me.
*Ahem!*
oh man, i'd go, if i were in town by then. but there's lots o good shows by the time i arrive. chicago has d.c. beat by a mile in the concert area.
I'll totally go - gimme a call
btw, rj, i don't know if you already know this, but your template for individual posts is way messed up in firefox. that is, the main page looks fine, but when i go to to view single entries and/or the comments on those entries, they are all cut off within the white box space.
yeah, I know about the problem with the individual archive. The sysadmin will fix it as soon as she is done alligator wrestling in the australian outback. seriously.
I think she's actually playing with kangaroo babies. The quote from her email to me was, in all seriousness: "I have an amazing number of kangaroo bodily secretions all over me."
I'm thinking of heading to the show at the Abbey Pub. It's a great venue, very small, but very intimate. I've never seen Of Montreal live, but have been enjoying their studio works.
Yeah, I bet there will be a big difference, since their production is just so sharp.
