Here's the story of the Rollins Band/X show in Chicago: first, every tollbooth on the interstate between Madison and Chicago was under construction. Warren and I had more than enough change for tolls, thank goodness. I had my google directions to the House of Blues, and Warren had the gps fired up. Its a good thing we had both, 'cause the gps got confused when we hit downtown Chicago. LOL The HOB website said that doors opened at 6. In what part of the known universe does that mean that the music starts at 6:05??! There were supposed to be two opening bands; Sevenshot Screamers and Riverboat Gamblers. We had arranged to meet Paul for dinner before the show at a Thai place across the street. When we got to the show at 7:20, Rollins Band was already half over! Gahhh! We lost Paul right away, but we got right up by the stage (house right), in front of the stack. This time I brought my earplugs, but Warren didn't. Its 8 weeks later, and he still is hearing buzzing.
We were going to try finding my internet buddy, Sandman, at the show, and it turns out I was standing right behind him.
