I needed a copper-bottomed excuse for not attending the Peoples' Voice Furk Festival in Beverley (UK, not Hills) this weekend, so I'm jetting orf to Chicago on Saturday morning. I'm on what's derided as a 'Study Tour', so I'm sure that some of the drinking can be done in musical shebeens.

So, I'm bringing me fiddle (but I'm only a deckie-learner) and this is my rough agenda:-

Saturday Night (22nd) - shagged Sunday Night (23rd) - Abbey Well Pub Chicago Monday Night (24th) - Rensselaer (I've never heard of it, either) Tuesday Night (25th)- Lafayette (the Indiana one) Wednesday Night (26th) - Inianapolis Thursday Night (27th) - New Orleans airport Friday Night (28th) - O'Flaherty's, Toulouse, New Orleans Saturday Night (29th) - Flying Chicago - Heathrow.

I'll also try to look in here along the road sometime

If any 'Catters are in any of the above places, it'd be braw to meet up. I will be trying to keep a journal of the trip, so if it bears reading, I'll get back to y'awl with it.
