Chicago! (July 19th, 2007)

We met Chicago!!!!!

Jim & I got the unique opportunity to meet the band, Chicago!!!

We got the meet & greet tickets from a friend of ours at 98.5 FM WUPS!
Thanks Michael J!!!!

It was almost a fluke that we got this opportunity! First of all, we arrived late to the festival on Thursday evening. I think we got there at about 9 pm and the festival staff had to find us a camp site, while Jim went to upgrade our tickets to the VIP seats.

Anyway, Jim ran into Mike who works for WUPS (and we also know him because he also lives in Gladwin) and he told Jim to hurry up and drop our trailer at the site and get over to the WUPS tent. He could get us in to see Chicago in person! AWESOME!

Anyway, we got to the gate to get in an see Chicago and they let us in to see them and wouldn't let WUPS in, even though they had press passes. BUMMER! So the UPS crew wasn't able to get in and see Chicago, but they still let us in. It was GREAT!

Thanks WUPS!

Chicago was AWESOME to see LIVE! The sound in the open stadium was FANTASTIC. It was better seeing them live, than listening to them on the radio. The instruments they played on stage sounded great, live.

These guys can still play as good as they've ever played! What a great band!!! We'd love to see them again in concert!
