However, I hope that this doens't mean that the Fitzgeralds era is over....Please say it isn't! I'm really not ready to pay for parking at $20 and then shell out another 8 bucks for a beer.....Fitzgeralds was the one and only place for a Webb show.......If need be, I'll talk to Jim myself and make sure you return back to Fitzgeralds
later,

We just thought we might try to reach some different folks. We used to play all over the city. If push comes to shove, we'll make Fitzgerald's THE only place in Chicago but, we're just tryin' to reach a few different folks, buy a few more guitar strings, make 3 and a half new fans, etc.. At any rate, don't worry...WW | |

Where are you goin'? | Too bad its on a Friday night, won't be able to make it down there, believe me, if I could, I would! However, work calls ...I do know that some of my "cronies" will be making the trip downtown....That will have to be one great show, damn, the House of Blues - Chicago. Will have to catch the next show at either Fitzgeralds or at HOB.....
Webb, make sure you rock that house like you do everytime at Fitzgeralds.

"Whip that boy and you'll answer to me!" | I say congrats on a great gig at HOB ... I think if HOB was smart they would book WW at all their venues at least once a year.... and promote the heck out of it so he could have the monster crowd he deserves to play for... win over those 3-1/2 new fans TIMES 100 ... then WW could buy a lot of new guitar strings. HOBs are great venues to watch a show, too bad Chi-Town is a little far for me to try to travel for a show.

Well worth the parking and admission! Wish they recorded their shows, or webcast them, or do they? Glad to see you back there Webb. | |

Where are you goin'? | This show is going to be a tough one to miss and I rarely miss Webb when he comes to town, however its not looking good. I've called in sick, taken a vacation day, heck, even taken a day without pay so I can be present for a Webb show, but I've used up all of my time from work, our fiscal year goes from June to May and I only have 5 days left and thats for my yearly Canada trip at the end of May. So.....whoever goes and I'm sure whoever goes to Fitzgeralds will be at the "House" on May 2nd, please post a full report so the ones that couldn't make it can surely regard it missing it, like me.......
Thats going to be a great show....Webb at the House of Blues, Chicago...wow....
At least I have all of Webb's music downloaded on my MP3 so I can listen to it on the 16 hour drive up North
Rock Hard,
Over and Out,

As for the web cam of the show, I wonder how hard it would be to take a lap top and "Webb" cam it? I have a lap top, but I am not all that computer smart. I doubt I could pull that off. Show would be over by the time I got it going. | |
