Imaginary roadtrip, Chicago edition: two nights of Wrens!

at Schubas

Purchasing a plane ticket to spend two nights with the Wrens at Schubas may very well have been the best decision I've made in the last several years. The shows were mind-bogglingly wonderful, the band was both seamless and deconstructed, the sound was just right, and the energy was -- well, indescribable. Prop all this adjective up against the backdrop of a venue on everyone's short list, add in abundant sunshine and an excellent subway system, stir, and you've got yourself a very imaginary roadtrip.

So that's my excuse for missing Calexico (but my amigo Sam caught them and wrote about it ). On with St. Vincent!
