THURSDAY, JUNE 24
This ended up as one of those decision days (well, not really). I had planned on going to Antioch, Illinois, for their It's Thursday concert out at the bandshell. They always have great bands, plus food tents and lots of drinks. The local restaurants all have stuff as well. We especially like going to the Lodge, which is adjacent to the bandshell.
However, Liz informed me that the Pistakee Lakehouse, on Pistakee Lake, had a special guest performing with the New Odyssey Guy, Gary, and that was his former bandmate for 30+ years, Mike. Mike went to elementary school with Liz in Chicago and was her boyfriend for part of that time. Well, I didn't have much of a choice now, did I?
So, we went to the Lakehouse and got seat right next to the stage at the tiki bar and enjoyed a really good show. Mike had retired when the band (New Odyssey) decided to call it quits a couple years ago and this was his first time back performing. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of him.
