For those of you in the Chicago area tomorrow...

--UPDATE--

Man was this a long day. But definitely fun! The band did pretty well, but unfortunately WGN (the only station that broadcasts the parade nationally) cut to commercial just before they got to us. I mean, Jesus, you could see and hear us in the background, and then BAM, commercial. I think we were probably on the local stations, but who really cares about that.

The great thing about parades is that you see some crazy things while waiting in line for the parade to start. I saw the Pikachu bug car (yeah, I know it's nothing new, but I thought I'd mention seeing it drive by), and this really AWESOME guy who looked nearly identical to Johnny Depp dressed in a Jack Sparrow outfit. He even did a good job of acting drunk like captain Sparrow. Or maybe he wasn't acting? :) And a couple years ago I got Bozo the Clown's autograph. That was the year Bozo went into retirement, I think.

...what am I doing typing this? I'm so friggin' tired right now. I think I should just call it a night.
