Just want to let everyone know that I'm going to Wale on Sunday night and I am so excited! He's on my list of people I need to see live that I have not yet. Also, he's playing with K'naan at the Metro, which has become one of my favorite places in Chicago take in a show.
In case anyone was wondering about Guetta, we left early. The best line of the night came from my pal, "he didn't even play any of his big songs." Well that's because we left before he even took the stage. Unfortunately techno is not our thing, and we knew of a party going on that we were upset that we were missing. We danced for the opening act and peaced. I think it would have been better if it wasn't at The Congress. The Congress is pretty much the biggest of the general admission places in Chicago, and it's just too big. We'll see how it compares to the Aragon Ballroom which I have never been in, but did manage to buy tickets to see Them Crooked Vultures there in May.
In the revelry that was birthday celebrations we did manage to fill our upcoming month with quite a few shows. Starting first with Wale this Sunday. I was supposed to go to Major Lazer on Saturday but decided not to because I will be seeing him a week later in San Francisco. Also this Friday I'm going to try to go to Dan Black, but I have to see if I can convince people to go with me. Also in SF I'll hopefully be seeing Yeasayer. I know tickets are sold out, but that's what craigslist is for. Then, another thing I am pumped for is at the end of April Mike Posner is returning to Chicago, playing some gross skanky club. We're watching him then leaving, but I know it will be awesome. By the way, the album was supposed to drop in 2010 and we're 4 months in and still waiting. Frustration nation! Then in May we've got Them Crooked Vultures and Broken Bells at the Vic. The Vic is awesome and it will be the first time I will be seeing DJ Dangermouse live.
Look out for a month of video blog posts.
