We remember being in London a few years ago, looking for concerts to hit, and we saw The Lemonheads were performing It's A Shame About Ray from start to finish. "Cool!," we thought, "What a great idea! We hope this catches on!" Well, a few years down the road the format has not only caught on, it's become an outright pandemic. When done correctly it can thrill, and when it's not, it can ruin our memory of a particular album for a while. more ›

After our morning at the Capitol, we made our way over to the Lincoln Memorial for the "We Are One" Concert which was to feature a range of political, celebrity, and musical appearances before an expected crowd of up to 500,000. We were plenty early as we made our way through the masses and it gave us a chance to scan the hundreds of items available to buy from the countless vendors. Shirts, towels, buttons, flags, you name it, it probably has Obama's picture on it and you're going to pay a a lot of pennies for it. Once inside the grounds, we found the press section nestled below the right side of the stage with a nice view, though the set pieces and a jumbotron obscured our view of one of the two onstage podiums as well as the actual Lincoln Memorial, but, still, we weren't complaining. We dodged CNN's John Roberts as he filmed a report from our corral and set up position for the show. more ›

Mayor Daley today informed aldermen of a plan to increase the city's amusement tax in another effort to generate revenue to help fill that wide budget hole. Under the new plan, the amusement tax on tickets would increase at mid-sized venues from 4 to 5 percent and from 8 to 9 percent at larger sporting venues. And if you're paying $12 and up to park downtown, the tax on that will increase from $2.25 to $3. So as if tickets weren't expensive enough, that's more money to see Broadway, Bruce, and the Bears. more ›

Now that the fall has arrived, it’s time to put away all those memories of summer fun like laying out on the beach, road tripping across America and cruising on the Chicago River before getting pooped on by the Dave Matthews Band. more ›
