Get Excited!

I'm mostly sure the reason Chicagoans suffer through nine months of winter annually is because summers in the city are AMAZING.

As if the opening of baseball wasn't indication enough that summer was nearly here, today I found the Downtown Sound New Music Monday lineup!!! 

Over the past two years, Downtown Sound Series has has become my favorite weekly summer activity. I think I've missed three, maybe four. Total. This year, the lineup is absolutely outstanding!!! See for yourself:
