The owners actually work there! Attention lazy America, the owners are physically working all day everyday. Hands down the best Pita Jungle!

Four Points by Sheraton Chicago O'Hare Airport

Jeff:  Not the nicest Sheraton I've been to.  I don't know if it was a prom or a wedding, but there were 200 Asian girls in pink dresses swarming the place.  I could smell people having sex from the hallway.  It made for a difficult night's sleep.

Chris:  Total chaos during check in at one in the morning.  I think the entire wedding party was in the lobby.  Overall it was a sad night because Ryan didn't stay with us and Patrick had to fly back to California and leave the tour.

Ryan:  I stayed somewhere else.

Jeff:  Obviously a great club.  It's been there for who knows how long.  I love how intimate the room feels.  Good place.

Chris:  Thumbs up all the way around.  Nice staff.  The backstage has been renovated since the last time we were there and it is very nice.  The guy in charge of merch was very nice and friendly.  One of our best crowds for this tour.  Rakim played after our show but we missed it.

Ryan:  I like Chicago and I like the Metro.  I had my crew (ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, current girlfriend and daughter) there and we did it up.  It's a real fun place to play and watch shows.

Amy:   (still sleeping)  zzzzzzzz

Jeff:  We had the pleasure of breaking in the house sound guys.  It was their first night on the job.  Very similar to the rest of the House of Blues chain.  Good sound/big room.

Chris:  Our hour sound check turned into a five minute sound check due to the reasons Jeff stated above.  Maybe we shouldn't have stole the instruction manual for the monitor board?  The staff was nice.  The food they made us was very good.  I had salmon and a salad.  I was very impressed with the upper level stadium seating.  Nice to be across the street from Fenway.

Amy:  (sleeping)  zzzzzzzz

Ryan:  It was brand new when we played there (2/26/09 w/ Jimmy Eat World) so the green room and all of the backstage were immaculately clean.  The staff was real nice.  I would give it four stars myself.

Chris:  The Trocedero gave us vouchers to eat here as this is one of their favorite places in the area.  We got take out.  I talked sports with the owners at  the bar while for 20 minutes waiting for the food, and I like that.  The chicken pad thai is thumbs up.  Not spicy enough though.

Jeff:  I had the C #2 and it was delicious.

Patrick:  Pad Thai.  Tofu Vegetables.  Extra spicy.  Awesome.

Amy:  zzzzzzzz (Sleeping)

Ryan:  I had vegetable fried rice.  It was good.

Jeff:  I love the way this place looks.  It's definitely love.  But due to the fact it's a haunted old building the amplifiers tend to make ghost speak.  And I don't speak ghost.  The dude behind the monitor board...

Patrick:  The only thing that's haunted about this place is the 15 foot mural of a buff dude with a handgun and a big penis.  And I like that.

Amy: Yuengling and bathroom security.  I bit it hard coming out the back door into the alley in my heels.

Chris:  The streets smell like fish, and I don't like that.  This is the coolest looking room of the whole tour so far.  The stage is definitely haunted.  If you have a single coil pickup guitar you're fucked with tons of noise.  The production manager was rad.  They don't take any of your merch money and that rules.

Ryan:  Ghosts don't bother me, we have a thing worked out.  It sounded great.  The front of house sound guy (Frank? s orry) was very cool.  I would give it 5 stars.

Jeff:  Good staff, good food.  Gus front house is totally pro.  One of my favorite venues.

Amy:  zzzzzzzz (Sleeping)

Chris:  Everyone who works there is great.  They take excellent care of the bands performing.  They fed us lunch and dinner.  I definitely recommend the vegetarian meatball sub.  The sound is great on stage as well as off.  I love it here.

Ryan:  This place is great to perform at.  The sound is good, there's a cool balcony to stand and watch bands play, and they have a bunch of great vegetarian/vegan stuff to eat.  Bonus if you get to see them move the stage forward at the end of the night.

Jean (the GPS unit):  Keep left.

Patrick:  One of the best clubs in the US of A.  Also, it's ironic how some of the best salsa is so damn far away from Mexico.  And I like that.

Jeff:  You pull in and stay in the car while they do your oil change.  "Home of the 10 minute oil change."  Our main operator Horace Byrd had the quick wit that made the 10 minutes seem like a minute and a half.  When I told Horace we were going to review him on Yelp he said "maybe I'll go to the show tonight and review you."

Patrick:  Horace Byrd is my homeboy.  An honest job done well.  The dude behind the counter was replaced by a women behind a clipboard and I like that.

Patrick:  Although I find it odd that the jvm 102 error only claims 1% of all blackberries, I've got to say that the dude behind the counter made my day.  New phone, no charge.

Jeff:  I was standing in the lobby and a women in there tried to get Ryan and I to switch to Verizon.  I told her it was too expensive.  She asked what I had and I said T-Mobile.  She didn't say anything after that, and that made me happy.

Chris:  There was something really eerie about the Verizon store.  I think it was haunted.

Jeff:  Joe was friendly and had a dog.  Studio 3 is a very large room.  The PA was the only downfall, otherwise top notch.

Amy:  Joe offered me some of his chicken steak.

Chris:  I really loved Joe's dog Cannon.  Real sweet dude.  Normally on Sunday the place closes at 8 but Joe let us stay until 11:30 which was much appreciated.

Ryan:  This place was pretty cool.  We rocked it for 6 hours.  The supplied amps aren't all that hot but we brought our own in so it didn't matter.

Patrick:  Must love dogs.  And I do.
