Chicago: Day Four

An article by Don Quixote    No Comments

Sunday was our last day in Chicago and we decided to end our trip the same way we began it, by going to the House of Blues.

While we were dining there on Thursday we noticed that they had advertisements for their Sunday Gospel Brunch and so we thought what the heck, this beats trying to go to the Seventeenth Church of Christ on the corner (which is really a Christian Science Church – now see, that could have been exciting).

It took some help from the front desk to get things worked out since the only tickets left were for the 12:30 sitting, but we managed to get it worked out and picked up tickets on Friday. The most shocking part of the program was the cost at $46 bucks a person, which was crazy wow. Later on though we found out that they charge that much so they can give to all the various out reach programs that HOB offers to the city of Chicago and it’s youth.

I’ve got to say that aside from the slightly cramped quarters we had a blast! It was like eating a buffet at Black Baptist church. The quasi-preaching was good, the food was very good and the music was great. With the exception of the dad having some blood Mary’s (though someone it seemed appropriate) while his kids made a mess, I would go back in a heart beat.

Thus ended our trip to Chicago.

We got home around 6:30 to find a couple of copies of Harry Potter waiting for us, so if you don’t see me for a couple of days you know what I’m up to.

Stay tuned as next week we return for Chicago II: The Revenge (where we take the boys on a completely different trip to the same city). As always we will keep you posted with stories and pictures…

I can almost smell the taste of the victory!
