[7:32 PM group bow and hug]
[9:35 PM lights down, fireworks; 9:41 PM ready to rumble]
Up at the crack of noon and rallying for 1 pm lunch at the Spoke and Bird with the gathered Wheelies and friends. It's good to see folks again, and to trade tall tales of good times past, and share critiques and highlights of the last few shows. It's BROILING hot today, dang! But we have two tables in the tree-shaded courtyard, and every now and then a wisp of a breeze off the lake comes whispering by. Too soon it's time to run, and so we head out, taking the long route around clockwise to stop at Trader Joe's for water before continuing our circumambulation of Soldier Field to join the rest of our crew in line duty. In line kinda late today, we don't arrive until 3:47 PM. But the scene is even mellower than the past couple days, and except for momentary drama when we first squeeze in, there are no hassles at all. Just the continuous exercise of grace and patience.
5:20 PM in the doors, down to the field 7:20 PM still waiting…
Of course plenty of reviews have been posted of the event; I'll limit myself to sharing this one from Lee Ranaldo, the best that I've read to date.
