Hello List, First let me say that i damn excited i found this list. I really like the multi-genre aspect of it and people are really helpful. I am getting cozy with my echoplex and am getting ready for a show. I thought I would put the word out in case any of you were here in Chicago. It should be a really great event and it's free.
