Ravinia Festival for David Byrne
We couldn't have had a better time over the weekend at Ravinia for David Byrne. We went up there with Nat's family and if every trip to Ravinia was like this one, I would LOVE going there to see shows. We parked right near the main gate (we didn't arrive to a bit after six pm, so we weren't super early birds), the weather was just right (not too hot), there wasn't an opener (David Byrne went on really close to 7:30) and he didn't play forever (we were home by 10:30). From the looks of the place, I wasn't the only one enjoying myself. There were more people standing up to dance at this show than most of the other ones I've been too. I guess the CSO doesn't give you much to dance too (and the susher's wouldn't have it anyway, right?!). I took this photo above (click on it to get the full feel) and while it is doing some weird things (like cutting Ryan's head off - guy in red in foreground), it gives you a feel for the night. Lo
