Hey Glassy and others, we've played in Chicago maybe 5 times, along with many places in the rest of the midwest. In general, we have a miserable time out there because the drives are long, people don't come to the concerts, and we never have a place to stay. That said, we'll hit some places in the midwest again on our next tour (May 2012 hopefully), but we're pretty dark on it because it usually sucks for us!
