The Hold Steady at the Taste of Randolph Street.

Sunday evening we headed over to the Taste of Randolph Street for some food and The Hold Steady.  Despite walking over to the stage about 15 minutes before the show started we managed to get right up to the left of the stage.  This of course put us right next to the massive speaker but we could see the stage fine.

**This unattended baby stroller was right next to us almost the entire show which raises several questions:

  1. Where’s the baby?
  2. Where’s the baby’s family?
  3. Who’s food is that in the stroller?
  4. Why is no one else noticing this random stroller?

Nine Inch Nails at Northerly Island.

Last night I went to see Nine Inch Nails and Street Sweeper Social Club at Northerly Island.  I guess this is the last tour for NIN so it was great to be able to see them again (I also saw NIN in 2006 and 2008) before it’s too late.  They’re on tour right now with Jane’s Addiction but due to Lollapalooza we missed out on Jane’s.  Street Sweeper Social Club is Tom Morello’s new calibration with Boots Riley.

Springsteen at the UC.

Last night I got to see Bruce Springsteen for the 2nd time at the United Center.  The concert was great but not quite as good as the first time I saw him.   I had roughly the same spot on the floor but this time I think I might have got some better pictures which is no small task since I had to smuggle in my camera.

On the walk over to the United Center I spotted this guy.
Awesome.
