I freakin' love Glen. Love love love. Going to see him Sunday at Metro and again
Monday. Can't imagine what would justify not going to see him for free on Monday night.

Last night's Metro show was great. He's a super generous performer. Did you all get a chance to see (or buy) the Metro's poster for the show? If no, here it is, by Charles Crisler:
Packed.

That is one of the best posters I've seen in a long time, and a Chicago print!
Yes! it is gorgeous. Thanks for posting it Sarah.
Note the rolled up jeans + chain guard combo. Somebody is super worried about chain stain!

Fantastic show. 2.5+ hours. That guy owns the stage, whether solo or in a group. Beautiful night at the best venue in town. The fog rolling in was a perfect touch. Had to look over my glasses on the ride home on the LFP.
Tomorrow:
Opener:
Main act:
Tonight: Cairo Gang and Dawes
Besides Glen H tonight's lineup is probably the biggest name of the year. Dawes has been burning up the festival circuit for a few years and XRT has played about 3 of their songs to death...
Not a big lover of country here but I do like rock with a hair of "south" and I think that fairly describes them.
Radar suggests we're done with storms for the rest of the day. I'd try to get there early for this one.
