Red, we'd love to see you again. We could hit the Duke of Perth sometime during the weekend, though I expect there will be good grub and drinks at the fest.
Sort of a two-week reminder that Chicago Celtic Fest is September 13 and 14...it looks like they're forgoing the usual Friday evening preview concert at the Cultural Center...there's a preview at noon Friday at the Daley center. If they do end up doing the Friday evening thing, I'll let everyone know.
Okay, guys, I've decided to make this the occasion for my grand return to the Windy City after number of years since my last visit. (Let's just say that a certain tricky guy was in the White House then. )
I'd love to join you for the activities, but certainly can't say I know my way around, so advice for locating spots would be appreciated.
...just get to the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Jackson Drive and walk East. The Celtic Crossroads stage is right at the end of Jackson before it gets to Lake Shore Drive and the big stage is at the Petrillo Bandshell which is about on the Southwest corner of Jackson and Columbus.
Just remember THE single most important thing to know about Chicago geography:
THE LAKE IS ALWAYS EAST!
...we'll be the guys in the kilts with the pints in our hands...
Best
AA
...I would also like to add that the intersection of Michigan and Jackson is the starting point of old Route 66...just so's ya know dat.
