Hey guys,

I'm from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I'll be heading over to the windy city next Monday night to attend my cousin's wedding over the weekend.

Anybody here know were I should go to hear some good live music?
Are any of you guys playing in those gigs?

Buddy Guys "House of Blues downtown is a great spot.

Head over to http://www.chicagoreader.com/music/thelist/index.php. Best way to figure out what is going on during the week.

Will you be in the city or somewhere in the suburbs?

If you are into blues, I would recomend going to 2 places. both are in the 2500 N. Block of Halstead.

"B.L.U.E.S. on Halstead". Then head across the street and north a half a block to "Kingston Mines". Blues might be a bit better known, but Kingston has 2 stages of blues playing alternately.

1 block. 2 venues, 3 stages, need I say more.

The wedding is at Millennium Park, South Michigan Ave.

Are any of you playing in gigs this week? Would be cool to see a fellow TBer in action.
