We are back in Chicago. Notice how I didn't use the term "finally" there, NYC was amazing. It was the learning, interactive, social, and overall positive experience that we thought it would be. No doubt, something we both will continue to learn from as we attend more and more festivals and conferences of the like. BUT, home is where the heart is. You know we love the Chi, the Lou, Mil Town, and all our friends and family. I'm a Midwest boy at heart.
Aright....on to the content:
SATURDAY!
Went a little something like theeeeeeiiiiiiiiis.
Wake up.
Sleep.
Wake up.
Eat.
Then we shopped.
Chilled.
Packed.
Then Shows, Shows, Showssssssssssssss:
First show was Cantora Records Showcase at The Love. We went to check out a couple people we met over the week by the name of Savoir Adour. Definitely a great Indie Rock show. A girl and a guy sharing vocals, solos, and overall stage presence. I thought they had a great energy and trade off.
Savoir Adore at The Love
So after the Savoir set we all decided that we had to get to Williamsburg for the IHEARTCOMIX showcase at The Music Hall of Williamsburg, a popular venue. The line up for this show was insane, with acts like Franki Chan, JuiceBoxx, Ninjasonik, HEARTSREVOLUTION, hosted by Matt from Matt and Kim, and many more. You can check their blog posts and artist roster at www.IHEARTCOMIX.com. I suggest doing so.
Oh HEARTSREVOLUTION......
So basically we danced the night away. The End.
Well actually not the end. After a lot more networking, chilling on plush couches, and passing out promo material, we hit the road. So after the show we checked out where French Horn Rebellion (Scroll Down) filmed their video, and Rob's favorite bar.
We got about a game of air hockey in before we were kicked out by a chick smoking a cigarette saying her boss would be their any minute. Whatever that meant.
At this point it was about 3 AM. Ayisha and I had to be on a plane at 8AM, and at the airport around 6AM. Sleep was out of the question. We hopped a cab back to Manhattan, and got ready for our journey back to the Chi, and what a journey it was.
I was deemed the one who had to stay up for any announcements at the airport. I swear I fell asleep about every 10 minutes. Disregard that Ayisha. Luckily we got on the right plane, and I passed out right away.
I woke up in Chicago and here I am.
Thank you to all of you that supported this tremendous experience. In particular Sharod, Jill, Carrie, and Mark. We could not have done this with out you and your undying support of us and our peers. Thank you.
