Yack! Well that was a false rise...
Adult., my favorite band of the moment, is playing some new dates. From their website I saw that they were playing Chicago on "5/7". In Europe, that means July 5 (they reverse it here), which would have been great for me because I have to be in Minneapolis for a conference on the 8th, and would probably be flying through Chicago anyway. I could have called in some favors and flown out early, making the show, and maybe chilling out in Chicago for a couple of days before flying up to Minneapolis.
Then of course I realized that 5/7 actually means May 7, and that I've been in Europe too long. My May is completely blocked off already and there's no way I'll make it out (though I do have Rufus Wainwright tickets for May 8, so at least that's something).
Hannah, you should totally see Adult. when they come. Also, Nicola Kuperus is showing some of her photography the Bucket Rider Gallery in Chicago. Opening reception is March 26th from 6-9pm. You should go and tell me how it is.
Today, I'd rather be in Chicago.
