QotD: First Signs O' Spring
What, to you, is the first sign of spring? Have you seen it yet?

Well, since I live in Chicago, where the weather is hardly different until at least April, I'd say it would have to be that bands start touring again. In fact, I'm going to see a show tonight--updates later!
The update: Kelly Shafer, a fine musician in his own right, texted me about some band called Porsches on the Autobahn, and they were going to be in Chicago on Friday, and I should check it out. Now, Kelly has done this a few times before with bands, and I have learned to trust his instincts. So, sight unseen and sound unheard, I rounded up a couple of friends and went to Elbo Room.
Disclaimers:
1. They weren't doing a very good job of pretending to be German.
2. They weren't doing a very good job of pretending to be playing live.
They were, however, VERY entertaining and a lot of fun. If you can get past the above items, I highly recommend them. We had a great time and laughed a lot and my friend even got up onstage with them and danced!
