I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a busy week this week. Â As you read this, I’ll be in Nashville for a romp through the historic Ryman Theatre, but when I return to Chicago, I hit the ground running with shows for most of the rest of the week: Milk Carton Kids on Tuesday, Megafaun on Wednesday, and a road trip up to Milwaukee on Saturday for more Andrew Bird. Â It’s almost like Christmas!
