 We went to the Salt Creek Wine Bar first - got on the list third - several people who had seen us before where there and excited to see us play again - we got our set off and mingled about for a bit, then headed out to naperville - 

 We have been to Miss Kittys Saloon before on wed. for the open mic & jam - this was our first time on a monday acoustic open mic - it was pretty dead - we played shortly after getting there so that was cool - then we headed home

#27 tuesday oct. 4th - FitzGeralds - 6615 W. Roosevelt rd. - berwyn, il -

 Phyllis' is a place we have been to several times - we are friendly with the host & owner, and we go over well when we play there - there were a few acts before we played - we played our set and hung around alittle bit - then headed out to Fitzgeralds

 We got a decent spot on the list at Fitzgeralds - we didnt have to wait to long to play, that was cool - played our set - talked around abit and split - 

 

#28 wednesday oct.5th - Stagebar  4358 n. cicero ave. - chicago, il -

 Headed up to Stagebar - they have an open jam run by a local band, and we have gone over well there in the past - we got a good spot and just hung out until we played - we played a little later than expected, but went off well - we headed out to try to get to Friendlys Tap so that we could get another set off but... we got there to late - so we went home 

 

#29 thursday oct. 6th - Rewsters Cafe - 3152 w diversey ave. chicago, il

#30 thursday oct. 6th - Gallery Cabaret - 2002 n. oakley ave. chicago, il

 Our first time playing at Rewsters Cafe - place was pretty dead although it was early - we played our tunes, shook some hands, then headed to Gallery - 

 We got to the Gallery way early so we got a decent list spot - chilled out and waited to play - we have played at Gallery several times before and have a good rapport with the host - we jammed our set then headed home -
