dimebag benefit in chicago

I heard about it on the radio this morning. Here's some more info from Blabbercunt:
DISTURBED, ANTHRAX, DROWNING POOL and SOIL have been confirmed for a benefit concert for The Dimebag Darrell Memorial Fund on February 23 at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. Tickets go on sale January 8.
I would love to go, but seeing as it's on a Wednesday night, I doubt I could find anybody to go with. And I'm not going to the Aragon Brawlroom by myself.
 
Someone needs to film this. Yes indeed!
Justin, you should go. And don't forget to film Buddy_Love_Bomb vs TD!
 
Not to be the "negative" guy, but I submit to you one simple question: Why is this benefit in Chicago, Illinois? Don't get me wrong, I love Chicago. Every visit I've had as been awesome. I think I like it better than NYC, at least it seems a friendlier version of NYC. I have some friends there. One guy lives in Wrigleyville like one block from the ball park, BUT, Dime was from Dallas/Fort Worth, and the other victims were all from the Columbus area. It just seems odd to me.
