EOTO @ Chicago’s Portage Theater
October 6, 2008
Saturday night, I saw EOTO perform with Michael Kang and Kyle Hollingsworth at the Historic Portage Theater in Chicago. I miss college for many reasons…one being the great music scene I found in Columbia, MO. However, standing outside of the theater, waiting for our group of 12 (I love my friends!), I was happy to be in Chicago, such a large city, and be surrounded by happy music lovers!
The Portage Theater was a great venue. The 1920s theater was recently remodeled and reopened. It is a great asset to the city and was a great atmosphere to see EOTO perform.
As always, the band went above and beyond my expectations with their improvisational show. Their special guests rocked and brought back fond memories of The String Cheese Incident. I loved loved looooved the “Soul Shakedown Party” cover and so much more that this blog cannot handle! I don’t think I’ve danced so much in years…my feet are blistered and my legs still feel tired (all signs of a great time)!
Check out this post and find out when EOTO comes to your town!
I have bruises all over my legs. I look like a battered wife.
When are they coming back?!?!
The opener, Seeker, really helped initiate the high energy of this show. Wow. http://www.myspace.com/seekersound
