Yeah, we had fun today. On Wednesday, Katie and I were offered tickets to go see Dave Matthews Band at Soldier Field tonight. We weren't going to go because concert tickets generally cost an arm and a leg anymore (unless you go see Pearl Jam who like to keep their ticket prices down - God bless you guys), but then Katie's mom offered to just give them to us. Score! But of course we went. How do you say no to "free"? I can't. Neither could Katie. So, despite having to contend with Taste of Chicago traffic, Katie drove in to the city and I took the train to meet her at Soldier Field. Our seats were way at the other end of the stadium, but Dave had four huge digital screens on stage so we could see what was going on. But our view really wasn't that bad anyhow. The cool thing about our seats was that the angle allowed us to see the stage and the skyline of Chicago right above it with a sunset just off to the left. Tres cool. Only wish I smuggled a camera inside to snap a shot or two of the view. Dave played a lot of stuff off the new album which Katie and I still aren't too familiar with. Unfortunately, he played hardly anything off his debut album "Under the Table and Dreaming" which is still his best one (in my mind, at least). So, despite the traffic and the lack of old material, the concert was still a blast and I wouldn't mind seeing him again in the near future. But, not before I check out another Pearl Jam show.
