"The Chicago Blues Festival is like a rowdy relative who comes to visit every year. He breaks stuff and insults your neighbors, but you sure do have fun." <-- Who is the neophyte, poseur Chicagoan who wrote this? Blues Fest is none of those things and only an uninitiated transplant would suggest it is. If anything, that's a description of Wrigleyville after a Cub's game (where this writer probably just moved to from downstate a couple years ago.)

That lead doesn't even make sense. Go back to journalism school.

Yeah, where's the editor and the rewrite? Oh, sorry. I forgot. They've all been let go.

I agree with you here. Because seriously, how can you be rowdy and disruptive at the Blues Festival when you're stoned and/or buzzed?!

I suggest getting a seat near the stage and not the grass if you're not into contact highs. Not being a meany, I'm just speaking from experience. Have fun!

Now let's get the Jazz Festival with the Blues Festival and you can chuck them both in the river to be picked up by the boat that picks up the garbage. Oh we went to see jazz last night, Oh the blues were sooo good!
