Chicago City Limits

I went to check out the local band Ten With Strangers at Chicago City Limits in Schaumburg last night. I found about them through myspace. I wanted to see them play because they were looking for a guitar player. I talked to one of the guitar players after the show, but it looks like they may still have their other guitarist after all. Guess I’ll have to keep looking.

Chicago City Limits is a cool club. I hate places that are too smoky but either they have good airflow or there weren’t a lot of smokers. The price of Rum & Cokes varied between $3 and $4 (averaging $3.50) each time I ordered one. I didn’t realize the price of rum fluctuated that much.

At one point I see the sound guy walking to the stage carrying a hockey stick. I’m thinking maybe he didn’t like the band, but he ended up “adjusting” the power supply to some of the stage lights.

It has been ages since I went to a club to see a band. From now on I think I’ll try to do it at least once or twice a month.
