I love summer in Chicago! Can't wait for the weather to start acting like mid-may. I'm looking forward to Ted Leo at the end of July, at Millennium Park. I can't wait to spend lots of time eating picnics on the grass there.

I found your blog after that meetup at Rockit... glad to have found lots of fun Chicago ladies to follow online!

Seriously great music heading this way! I'm excited to see Iron & Wine and The Head & the Heart! Also going to see Bonnie Prince Billy on Monday, hooray! My husband's old band opened for My Morning Jacket a long time ago- they play shows in Louisville all the time since they're from there so I'm hoping to see them a lot once we move!

Oh I'm so jealous of the line up you have coming to Chicago! I wish these bands would tour more around the southeast!!
