Chicago Green Music Fest 2012 in Wicker Park- Featuring Dinosaur Jr

I passed up their Lolla pre-show which I heard was amazing so I scored tickets right away for their November return to Chicago at the House of Blues. Should be a pretty good way to celebrate my birthday! If only it wasn’t on a Monday…

Here’s a look at what you missed if you didn’t catch them at Lolla this year. See if you can spot me in the crowd.

Sold Out

My Morning Jacket front man Jim James comes to the Vic for a 420 show.

His new solo album, Regions of Light and Sound of God, is great and is currently streaming for free on NPR’s First Listen.

Never miss it. Scored a 3 day in the 5 seconds before they sold out. Hope my buddies don’t get scalped too hard to get in…

Opener: Juan Wauters

The late show sold out before I got my shit together, so I’m going to the 6:30 show. I saw this young Canadian at Pitchfork and he was awesome. I’m looking forward to this one. Bonus – I can be drunk and home by 10:00 pm.
