Hello, Chicago.

We’re just coming into the West side of Chicago… easy drive today, perfect weather and zero traffic… pretty amazing. Unfortunately we had to skip the World’s Largest Truckstop for the first time ever… we had a nice long lunch at The Machine Shed in Des Moines, one of our favorite breakfast places in the midwest… but it caused us to run a bit behind. It’s 7:24pm right now and we have to load in at 8pm at the venue, and we’re probably about 45 minutes out, sooo ya. We should be perfectly slightly delayed. Not bad.

The set tonight is only supposed to be 40 minutes, but we’re going to try and get set up super fast so we can maybe start a bit earlier and get a longer set in… ideally we’ll play our hour-long Festy set beginning to end, to get it warmed up and feeling good for Sunday.

It can not be overstated how GREAT it feels to play music after sitting and driving for 8 hours… so the longer we can play, the better.

See y’all Chicagoans shortly!
