LMAO. Nice positive attitude Ryan!!!!!

But yeah this sucks.

Meijer on Friday nights, huge show

We are at Photo's in Mt Prospect on Sat nights, followed by the MTP train station, then McDs on Golf/83, and a new place, Buona Beef on Arl Hts and Thorndale. Still have yet to do the full circuit on Sat night, but trying.

Sun, there are usually some local shows around the NW burbs
