Reel Big Fish House Of Blues Chicago.

Why is it this winter  that every

 shoot has to be in horrible weather?  So why would this trip to Chi-Town to cover theReel Big Fish concert be any different?  After getting about 3 hours of sleep the night before because of another shoot, I headed out to Lansing MI. to pick up my ast. Andy. We fueled

 up, picked up the usual road

 food candy bars and 

Taco Bell and we were off... The ride there was uneventful until the GPS and I had a little disagreement downtown Chicago & after that was settled we checked into the Hyatt and went right 

to the House of Blues to get

our credentials and got some dinner.  From dinner it was straight to work as the open band Tip The Van was getting ready to go on... beside getting the usual token beer spilled on me and getting kicked in the back of 

the head by a crowd surfer, the show went pretty good & the new Nikon D3's were amazing in the low light! After the show everyone was talking about the blizzard warnings for Chicago and MI so Andy and I thought long and hard about leaving for home right to be safe, but opted for sushi instead :)  At RA , one of my favorite sushi joints.  After a belly full of sushi goodness it was into the cab back to the hotel. We again thought about leaving to beat the storm but then decided that sleep sounded better than safe driving conditions... after a few hours it was time to leave c

hicago behind and drive straight into the blizzard that we had been warned about. So with a ten pack of Taco Bell taco's

 in hand we drove 35 miles in hour in white out conditions & made the 3 hour trip more like 4 hours.  All in all it was a good trip with good images !! :)
