       I lucked out and got some cheap airfare to Chicago, it just happened to coincide with Chicago Blackout Fest 2012! It will be my first time going to Chicago, was curious to see if there will be any GPH members in attendance?

      WELL , WE SURVIVED IT .Though , I really only went to see Roky , who did a tremendous set , and The Mentally  Ill , last Thursday , well , the mix was terrible , yes , these things matter , even in "Punk Rock". They sounded fantastic a few months back at the Ultra Lounge.

      I'd say it was a success , all around , tho'.

      OH , SHIT ! I almost forgot that was next weekend . I know , how could I ?   I think of ways , usually. It should'nt really affect the shows at The Empty Bottle. It's far enough away from Downtown.

      I dig 'Gacy's Place', it's a classic. Unfortunately, I can't be there for the Thursday night. I'm traveling from Vancouver BC, and will be getting in to O'Hare very late afternoon of the Friday.

       Apparently there's a NATO summit on that weekend and they're gonna shut the city down!! :(

      Incidentally , The Mentally Ill are playing a pre-show / art opening , Thursday at The Bottom Lounge, which is a straight shot West on Lake Street from State and Lake. If you are'nt driving , take a cab from Downtown , or the green line elevated train(To Diversey). Don't have the address handy , sorry.

      It's still kind of a dicey neighborhood (It's a cpippled industrial area, not a "Neighborhood"as such. ) , not too bad , just be alert. The show is at 7 ,  so , it won't even be dark , then , anyway.

      The whole of Chicago disagrees with me , but , The Mentally Ill was/is the best Punk band Chicago produced. Except , they're from Deerfield .

      ...A total of 21 bands that I don't know , but , I guess that means little. I'll be at the show , Sunday , May 20 , when Roky plays .
