Day 1 -

Things got off to a little bit of a rough start, and it got a little rougher when we realized we weren’t going to be able to use the car top carrier.  After an hour (+) of finagling, we figured a way to pack both the luggage and the gear.  4 hours later we rolled up to Cal’s on the south loop – turns out it’s a liquor store/stockbroker bar by day and underground indie/punk venue by night.

We unloaded before heading over to eat some Giordano’s for some Chicago pizza.

Never go against the family....

We loved the set from the Remaindermen – great drumming from stickman Chris K. – and can’t wait to see those guys again.  The lovely William Winter put us up for the night in his amazing abode – altogether a pretty amazing day 1.
