ireallylovemusic vs chicago : sods law in full effect.

hell.o
expect a period of surreal calm over @ ireallylovemusic, as in less than 7 days i head off to the big city lights of chicago on work related funkiness. subsequently 7 days of gig opportunites meant i checked the listings, and, would you adam and eve it, the ninjatune crews are in town the day before i get there ! one self, coldcut and even dj vadim each performing a mere few hours prior to my arrival.
so that's one big grrrrr i got going on.
then, last week, i receive the new cd by deadstring brothers. a 1972 exile on main street styled country rock-n-roll album on bloodshot records. so, checking the sleeve art more closely, i find that the label are chi-town based. way hey. not only that, but the label is home to one jon langford - oh yes, one of the legendary three johns himself.
however, once again, a little digging reveals that the band are to play the nearest gig-centric town the day i have to pack and say ta ra to the family.
i mean, am i jinxed or what ?
having said all that, i have found that thomas dolby is playing a couple of shows at a venue called matrys, so that could be interesting.
of course, if there are such things as readers of this gubbins are from the home of wax trax, then please give me some pointers as to how/where/when i can fill some of my time.
onwards !
