it's friggen snowing

that's right, April 10th and it is snowing.. We are expected to get about 2-4 inches. It doesn't seem to be sticking to the roads yet, but the grassy areas are pretty much covered and layering up. I hope all the weak new tree branch growth can take the heave spring snow. But i hope this might take some of the tree allergy causing agents out of the air, my nose hurts :(

Today i am staying at home and getting things ready for the trip. we leave in about 24 hours. Very exciting. But the crappy thing is that this storm that we are getting now will only be moving east and hitting chicago just in time for us to get there.. it will be snowing some in Chicago also. Nothing like following the storm across the country. crazy... And the folks here in denver will get to enjoy 60 and 70 degree weather this weekend.. something just doesn't seem fair.

But we have lined up media credentials for the aquarium and the Sears Tower. I have never been to Chicago, so it is all new to me. We are also going to try to get into the Art Museum at some point too. But the main attraction will be the three panic shows that we will be seeing each night.. Can't wait.. oh and that reminds me, we need to check set list from last night, so hang on...

Set 1 -
Lil Kin, Can't Get High, Pickin Up The Pieces, Boom Boom Boom > You Got Yours, Flicker > One Arm Steve > Jam > Solid Rock
Set 2 - Good People > Bears Gone Fishin` > I'm Not Alone, Goin Out West* > Drums** > Jam > Blight > Greta, Walkin
Encore - Up All Night > Porch Song
* w/Ben Ellman ** w/Stanton Moore

Not bad, good solid set. looks like they started pretty slow, with the can't get high and pickin up the pieces, but not bad... boomx3 is a new one, pretty catchy and i can see where it could get big in the middle, and then the rest is pretty solid (flicker is new too)
second set, good people is fun and bears gone fishin is a great, classic tune. Going out west (well i guess Cincinnati/Chicago is more west than The east coast, so ok. and there is my greta that i should have gotten for my birthday, but now that wont happen. the soonest they might play it is sunday night, but totally not going to play it tomorrow. and walkin is a good solid song.
well those are my thoughts on the sets...
hope everyone has a great weekend...
