The Fireside Bowl
Chicago, Illinois

Bands: Once a Hero, Tanka Ray, GC5, Callaghan



Day 1 of our West Coast Tour. We headed out to Chicago for our date at the Legendary Fireside Bowl. We got on the road in good time and made it out to Chicago in good time.



We had a couple hours to check out the city before the show, so we wondered through down town and had some eats at Subway.



There are no damn bathrooms in Chicago, we walked around forever and every place downtown had no restroom.



yada yada



The Fireside was awesome. We had a really cool crowd, especially considering it was a Sunday night AND mother's day. Tanka Ray and GC5 played and were awesome, playing their own original punk rock. Met some friends, played well, and sold some CD's, not a bad first day. To Be Continued...
