Machines Gone Mad @ The Blues Bar Sat., Nov. 1st

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:01:29 CST

So here is the plan:

If you have kids:
Take them trick-or-treating on Friday night. On Saturday afternoon, feed your kids ALL of their candy at once. When they crash throw them in bed and come out to the Blues Bar in downtown Mount Prospect for the best rock in the whole Chicagoland area.

If you don't have kids:
Take the 3 year bottle of pickle relish out of the fridge. Get the last hot dog bun out of the cabinet and load that sucker up with the old pickle relish and eat it over the sink. Then, come out to the Blues Bar in downtown Mount Prospect for the best rock in the whole Chicagoland area.
