Orphans Tour

Thinking back to what's happened over the past few months (besides the epic hol - more to come on that later). Steve (work friend) was very lucky to get tickets to the Tom Waits 'Orphans Tour' in Chicago in August. We flew down on the day (narrowly avoiding missing our flight on the way there and stuck in the fallout from the terrorist scare whilst trying to get back the following day). Chicago is a great city. We stayed in the centre and had time for a wander along Lake Michigan before the concert. We had terrible seats but the atmosphere and the concert itself was fantastic. See the setlist on the 'Eyeball Kid's' blog.

And here's a few photos from Millennium Park. There's an amazing 'music pavillion' at one end designed by Frank Gehry where we sat for a while listening to an orchestra rehearse.

  1. Tom Waits in Chicago - now that's cool. Millennium Park makes the Hollywood Bowl look a bit ancient.
