    It's in a really nice area. Getting a hotel way close to the Symphony Center is going to be super expensive for that reason. I got a hotel at Chicago North Shore Holiday Inn (8 miles away) for way cheap on Expedia, just planning on taking the subway/cab.

    Since the topic is on then what about London? I'd be looking for some cheap hotel, but 2 requirements: bathroom in the room and no continental breakfast Also somewhere close to Victoria Station would be great, but other places might be fine too.

    Are subways pretty safe at night there? Most of what I know about subways comes from movies, and there's usually something shady going down in movie subway stations at night lol.

    Those headed to tonight's shows in Chicago, I would highly advise you to leave for the show early. Both the Pride Parade and the Taste of Chicago are happening, there's going to be several million people packed into the streets downtown and parking/traffic/CTA lines are most likely all going to be pretty gummed up.

    Thank you for the tip. I was planning on getting there an hour early, maybe I'll shoot for 2 hours early now

    first seat violin totally dat ass'd Susan Calloway during Kiss Me Goodbye lol...good show, though there were kind of a lot of miscues, good thing it's a pretty laid back demographic. Seeing the FF6 opera house live was pretty surreal, quite a nostalgia bomb.

    I don't blame him. Susan Calloway was hot haha.
    I think the first performance was a bit smoother (and Dancing Mad with the pipe organ was probably my favorite performance of the day), but the sing along with Nubou was pretty fun.

    (And I did pick out xerodok and said hi. It's easier to pick people out when they wear unique outfits haha).

    Susan Calloway is hot as hell. Sadly, the Atlanta show had some chick who.. well, her voice wasn't good. That's for sure. Wasn't *horrible*, but could have been a lot better.

    Susan had a bit of a stumble on her first song, got choked up for a second at the start, but recovered fine. There were also a lot of A/V slip-ups with the stuff they have projected onto the background screen, and one of the stage techs couldn't figure out why this guitar was giving feedback(the cable wasn't plugged in all the way, hurrrr).

    The young guy playing the solo piano pieces was a boss though, and Arnie Roth kinda wailed on the violin while Uematsu was playing the easiest keyboard part ever lol.

    Thanks for saying hi!

    I thought it was a great show, definitely wasn't expecting the piano solo in either of the shows by Benjamin, pretty awesome.

    Damn, I wish I had realized more people were at the Chicago show, I'd have said hi. I was in row B on the left side of the floor both shows. I got recordings of everything but the audio has pops in it every so often

    I ended up going to both shows and the first show was much better than the night show. The choir was epic and Susan Calloway has a damn flawless voice (minus where she coughed at the start of the night set). Interesting crowd there for sure. I was the one wearing a vest and tie and my friend was wearing a dark vest an tie. Doubt any one remembers the crowd days after though. Lol
