When All Goes Wrong

So, g came to visit this weekend because we had tickets for 2 Smashing Pumpkins shows. They played at the Auditorium Theatre which is a beautiful concert hall built in 1889. The show was pretty good and Billy told some funny stories in between songs. The show opened with Jimmy Chamberlain playing an absolutely disgusting drum solo that I wish I got on camera. Billy wore an interesting combination of white Zero shirt, a man skirt, and high top sneakers. The show was pretty long so I ended up sitting at the end during a 20 minute Pink Floyd cover. Eep! Definite boy music but still neat to see. Here are some photos of the first show:




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.
