House of Blues: Chicago

Haha, old posts. Yes the House of Blues in Chicago sucks, I hate the venue and I hate the security. The main thing in Chicago, shows have to start early because there's some stupid Chicago ordinance that makes a curfew of 10:00 PM.

Exactly. That means that if you're from out of town, you have to fight rush hour traffic to get to the show in time! That's a big problem when they have Hypocrisy playing at 6pm! Like I said...THE RAVE from now on!
 
I really love Pops down in Sauget, right outside St. Louis. The best venue I've ever been to due to the atmosphere, very relaxed, and great chance of hanging out with cool people and chatting with band members. I always meet up with Firefest9 down there and we have a great time. It is a 5 hour drive for me from NW Indiana, but it's totally worth it.
