Watch out for each other. Remember the golden rule "Stranger danger"! Enjoy!

Ah, very true, BSJ, although in this particular case perhaps we should extend the safety motto to "Stranger on a quiet street danger ahead". Luckily for a few of us, some well-known musicians completely disregard this rule and chat to you anyway!

Thank you all! We’ve safely landed in Chicago (and not to worry, we’re also traveling with our dad so I don’t think we’ll run into trouble in the stranger danger department). Although we’re not really “city folk”—the town I live in (and have for all my life) has a population of, what is it? 6000?

Have a great time, you two! I am both excited and nervous for you! Not that you should be nervous, I am just a perpetually nervous person.

If he isn't an ELO fan, I think Jeff and the band can change his mind.

BIuebird don’t worry about it, I’m much the same way with being nervous all the time haha! I have to admit I was kinda nervous, with Chicago’s reputation as such a big bad dangerous city, but after the day out and about on the town, I actually feel really safe! The city is very clean, lots to see and do, and the people are nice. tightrope my dad was more of a casual listener of ELO but my obsessive playing of their records has certainly converted him into a fan himself. He was very impressed with the Sac show!

I saw the ELO shirts and that makes them trend setters as well.

nobodyschild I was honestly such a nervous wreck the week before the Philly concert, it was really sad. I worried myself sick with excitement, it was very frustrating and I felt pathetic. lol I am glad that you are enjoying the city, and that some of your worries have been curbed! It's nice that your dad was able to come with the two of you as well. Enjoy yourselves tonight!

tightrope yep, we sure lucked out in the cool dad department As for last night, I “Can’t Get it Out of My Head” but I also can’t quite wrap my head around it all! I’m sure everyone is dying to hear all about it but I’ll have to wait until I’m settled down enough to give a thoroughly juicy report (and something hopefully comprehensible—right now the best I can describe it is something along the lines of AHHSKKSFDLKPS!!! and a lot of arm waving around) Pictures are on the way, and the details later, but I’ll just say one thing for sure: “never meet your idols” in no way shape or form applies to the incredible Mr Lynne. (Or Dhani Harrison, for that matter!)

Very much looking forward to details and photos when you get the chance!
