Man, I sure wish Haole Kats!!! would have been able to make the Chicago trip financially viable for us again this year. We just couldn't work out the numbers to do it, or we sure would have. Although there was no Exotica, last year's road trip was a blast, and The Sandbar was a highlight. The Sandbar is a VERY nice room. Nice vibe, GREAT food, nice stage -- with great amps and an incredible sounding VINTAGE drum kit already on it!!! If any of y'all go, try their ribs. I was very impressed with the quality of the meat and how perfectly done they were. Man, if we weren't so busy, I'd be tempted to just grab a cheap flight and come as a participant...
