Any other out-of-towners who are planning to visit the city by the inland sea for IPO Chicago (or any other reason this spring), let me know and I'll send you Mike's update, too. There aren't any local bands playing during IPO (aside from those scheduled for the festival itself) that really pique my interest enough to make me want to skip a night, but it'd be great to see either Richard Thompson at the House of Blues or NRBQ at Fitzgerald's on April 26. However, that's IPO's Not Lame Night, so I'll be standing behind the merch table at the Abbey Pub, wearing my Not Lame t-shirt and basking in the adulation of people who keep calling me "Bruce". > Bob, looking forward to renewing his aquaintance with Demon Dogs at > Fullerton station (if it has not closed down yet) > B^) > Whaa? Demon Dogs is closing? Say it isn't so! Gregory Sager
