FROM FLANSBURGH:

"Sorry about the lapse in the podcasting - sometimes real life has to interrupt the flow of the pod - but we have some cool stuff cookin'. We'll post it as soon as we got it buffed and polished!"
Hope to see you at the show!

~ FINALLY.

i wonder what Flansy's cryptic message is all about?

i'm pretty sure T-Bird is planning on going to the show. i hope we get a review.

I'm going to that show! (Finally! A close one!)

AHH! So excited. No cameras, though. Feh, won't stop meh.

ooh! i want a review from you too!!!

you & T-Bird oughta meet up.

I'll be there! Can't wait till tomarrow.

I didn't know there were any other chicago area folks on this board, it's good to know I'm not the only one.

Yeh, I live about two hours away, in Indiana.
They should come around here more often.

I'm just wondering T-bird, where are you from..?

i was born in a Chicago suburb, but we moved when i was 5.

so, are you gonna write us a review? it doesn't have to be anything fancy. i just wanna know how it made you feel & stuff. is this your first time to see em?

Yes, it is. I won't be old enough to see 'em outside of all ages shows for a few months. And... I guess I could write a review... heck, I probably will.

ps... me & Casey posted at the same time, but the questions apply to both of you.

YaY!!!

member reviews are the next best thing to being there.

I'd love to take pictures. Do people take cameras in even when the policy says you can't..?

if they can get away with it.

i always bring a black purse & i put my camera in a black sock so they won't see it if they look in. then once i get in there i see what everybody else is doing. i usually only take pix during the first few songs, & then again near the end, so i don't get too annoying for the other people around me.

of course, it's not like a few flashes are anywhere near as annoying as the drunk guy who's always there jumpin around acting like a total @$$ hole.

(but it's probably illegal to get drunk at a zoo, so that's a good thing)

I'm glad we finally get an explanation (of sorts).

And I hope by "real life" he's talking about working on the new albums, making tour arrangements, and that kind of stuff -- not personal problems, family emergencies or anything like that.

Casey & T-Bird -- I hope you guys both make it to that show! That would be really cool if you could meet up.

yeah, i hope you're right, GR.

I am originally from Morris, IL which is a little town an hour south of Chicago, but I moved about three months ago to a town called Homewood. Homewood is in eastern Illinois just across the border from Indiana. I'm taking the train into the city since I've heard that it's hard to find parking near the zoo.

This is my third show, I saw them in Naperville, IL at Rotary Hill and at The Vic Theater in Chicago both in 2003. They came to Chicago on The Spine tour, but I had bought tickets to a different show that was on the same day.

I'll most likely write a review, we'll see.

have you ever heard of a town called Bensenville? that's where i lived. i think it's more of a neighbourhood than a town now. anyhoo, i was born at the hospital in Elmhurst.
