This Past Weekend in IL & WI
Sun., Oct. 26. 2008 4:25pm EDT
We launched a "comeback" tour of sorts this past weekend in Chicago (Oak Lawn IL) and Green Bay WI. It was our second year in a row coming back to Oak Lawn IL and our 10th year in a row in Green Bay. In fact, we've now played a total of 22 concerts at the Cup O' Joy. But some audience members were only seeing us for the first time:This was the first time I heard you, so I didn't know what to expect. Awesome, funny, and spiritual all at the same time. I can't wait to see you again."
