The next day I decided to dazzle g with a homemade chicken pot pie...It didn't exactly turn out as planned:
A little sad looking. We should have recognized it as an omen. We did eat the pie, then hopped on a bus to go to the second Pumpkins show. But, we got trapped in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade traffic which was like no other. We were at a standstill downtown right when the show was starting. So we got off the bus and started running down Dearborn, then snagged a cab, then ran to the theatre...only to find out that the show was cancelled because Billy was sick :( So I have a December 8 show to look forward to now. And lots of leftover pot pie.

When it comes to pot-pies, I leave it to the fine folks that furnish my grocer's frozen-food section.
Also, I'd have thought a 20-minute Floyd cover would be about the best part of a Pumpkins show! (Zing!) Billy does rock the manskirt pretty well, though.
boo to colds! My theory is that Billy did it on purpose to get you to make a second Pumpkins related blog post...
It was a great show, considering Billy was sick and they didn't play an encore, they did play a good 2.5 hours. Definitely cool to see Matt Walker and Jimmy playing a single drum kit during the Floyd cover. And The Beginning is the End is the Beginning, awesome. I love that remix, so it was cool to hear it live.
For the next show, we should both make a point of nervously pacing back and forth through our row, just to get people back for Friday night. :)
and I'm noticing a trend in Chicago, thanksgiving parades a week before thanksgiving (it appears there is another on actually on thanksgiving too), July 4th fireworks on the 3rd.....Do they have a new years celebration on boxing day?
