trains, planes, cars

We had a noon flight out of o'hare on monday, so it gave us plenty of time to take the train to the airport and get some brunch once we were there. Once we were back in town, we headed over to jacq and dylan's place for some drinks prior to hitting up the Fox for the Page McConnell show. Touring with a full band, including a guitarist, the material was more akin to phish than his previous outings with Vida Blue. Great show, played lots of his new stuff, mixed in with a vida tune, a phish tune, and classics by talking heads, rolling stones, elvis costello, bunny wailer, and the commodores. It should also be noted they were filming the show professionally, and although I did not tape, you can grab a copy from etree if you're so inclined.
