Chicago, Illinois

So for this final leg of the tour, our great excursion to the Mid-West, we’re going to team up and share TWICE the number of haiku. Enjoy.

Chicago (as experienced by Bengt):

chicago rawks out
very famous tall building
what? fifteen dollars!?

Chicago (as experienced by Maura):

this amp hates us both
a band romance seems sticky,
ease with a non-spouse

Translation: Being a tourist=expensive. Band relationships=complicated. some vacation time while on the road=some time apart visiting everything one can fit in that is FREE. Oh, and kudos to Chicago for having easy to navigate public transportation.

of the show—we got some live tracks out of it and met some nice people. We stayed for a few days on Adam’s (of A Friend Called Fire) floor, so thank you, and everyone should check out his tunes.

Set list:

Dust
Gouge Away
Seed
Desert Dogs
Crown of Love
Three
Please
Dark Surf

love, maura
