Chiago 2011

Just after arriving home from Colorado, Chris saw that Soundgarden was playing in Chicago the following weekend. On a whim, we decided to go - this was their first tour in about 15 years and they had no scheduled dates in Detroit. Plus, we love Chicago.

We got to Chicago a few hours before the concert to check into our hotel, and got some AWESOME Chicago style deep-dish pizza for dinner. The concert was great. Chris Cornell (the lead singer) is an AMAZING vocalist, and never disappoints at a live show. The following morning we got up early were going to get up early, but apparently our non-stop schedule had worn us out. We slept in until 10:30. So much for hitting the city early and heading home by noon. So we rolled out of bed, late, and went to check out Millenium Park and grab some grub at the Cheesecake Factory before heading home.

Albeit short, it was a fun weekend. Good music, good food, and a walk in the park. Have to admit though, when we got home we were ready for a day off!!
