Hiya Guys,
By now you all know I'm an absolute fan of EST. Two years ago I drove up to Chicago to see these guys play at Hot House. Well, their coming back again in January, the 18th to be exact.
Needless to say, I'm going back up to see them. I've alread dropped an email to my boss I'm taking the 18th and 19th off. I plan on driving up Wednesday morning and coming back Thursday.
There is a strong chance that Jon VerHalen from Lowther America will go again also. Last time I went, tickets were $10. Hot House is down on Printers row, just south of the river. The club is on the 2nd floor. Its a nice lilttle venue that has maybe 30 tables and boothes. Acoustics aren't half bad. We'll probably grab dinner at the bar just down from the club (burgers and beer).
Anybody interested in going along?
(this includes any of the Chicago guys that happen to be reading this - Gonfishin?, Jammin Joe?, anybody else?)
If you aren't familiar with their music, heres a review or two of their albums that I did a while back.
