    Steal this face? The headline looks like speed vs. experience. Feeling confident? Bet you an over-priced beer at Soldier Field the Hawks prevail. Either way it's going to be great entertainment. Fever is running high here. Chicagoans love their Hawks. Sweaters, Ts, Caps everywhere. It's a great time of the year. Ticket prices for the finals at the United Center make FTW look like a bargain.

    If the security checkpoints are anything like the NFL (at least in Buffalo), it will be very difficult getting any cameras in that exceed specs...a good quality lens on a cell phone is another story. Have a good day, grab some coffee for the road....king

    Some hometown NHL action. So will the Bolts steal the face off Chicago? Jumped in for the presale Cup tickets over the weekend and had sticker shock. I'd need to see the Stones open the game for the price of those tickets.

    Steve - Rich nailed it...I wouldn't risk them snatching your GoPro. Bet the bank you'll walk through a metal detector and if it were me, I'd just use the video capabilities of your iPhone - it shoots in amazing HD. Kyle - your 2nd cup chance in 10 years. There are cities that wait a lifetime. No better live sport, bro, so if you get a chance, I'd get your but in the building - amazing fun !!! I don't have a dog in this fight but I have to admit...the Blackhawk's home sweater is the best in the business :-)

    I sure they wont let me have one but I wanted to make sure. Can we take a go pro into the concerts ? It says no video . no camera with longer than 6 inches , again your safe totem ,. they also say no item will be saved which is taken from us. I really wanted to film the crowd , and the party but of course also do not want to have to rush to hotel to get rid of items . What are your ideas?

geopondermeister hit a home run. He's a masterful facilitator that always brings things back together and makes since of it all. Much like Sam Elliot's narration on the Big Lebowski. No one means to pee on The Dude's rug. It ties the room together.

I haven't been here for a while, but if the mayor is still Klang, he passed on the Dear Jerry tix as he was already offered them. The kind soul passed the gent with the extra onto me, I accepted and then life got in the way... Peace

not having caused enough trouble for one day i will add this tidbit. FB is abuzz about a cryptic announcement of an announcement. A DJ on KFOG this evening said an announcement is coming friday. i research such rumors because i have nothing better to do with my time. three unrelated people confirmed hearing it. no one had the exact wording but the announcement may be about added shows or just the simulcast details. either way- a DJ from the stationed messaged me and confirmed to tune in at noon on friday for the 'announcement'. i hate to spread rumors but lack of definitive answer is what drove dear klang mad. maybe we will have those answers on friday. i for one will be tuned in at noon. KFOG Radio

Rough night last night, T-Horse kept hogging all the blankets. Shopping for a wagon as the sound system got too big for T-Horse. Couldn't get the speaker placement just exactly perfect. Starting to resemble The Wall of Sound. Gotta remember to turn it down a little as we pass by towns on our way to Chicago. 100% Fishhead Music.

I like the idea of using a wagon and trailer. T-Horse is claiming it's customary for the rider and horse to switch off.Is he right? Says all he eats is Spaghetti-O's and canned chili. How many cans do I feed him? I don't think I can believe everything he says. He's only been here one day and has everything screwed up.

"Thanks For The Information". McKenzie Bro's are an excellent source for informational " how to" videos. Check em out on you tube. Hi boo, this horse never stops talking. He's fluent in six languages. Claim's he's the inspiration behind "The Most Interesting Man In The World" commercials. Seems he drinks way too much beer for that to be true.

Just got a great idea. We can all gather at Klang's place. Have huge bon fires, play music all night. RRRRGRRR can whip up some of his world renowned breakfasts. Anyone know if Klang has a pool. Oh well, it's California, surely some of his neighbors do. T-Horse says he has some swim trunks. Ah, this is gonna be epic. Klang's gonna love it!!!!

Santa Clara will be announced tomorrow. Shhhhhh. Don't tell Klang,it's a surprise. First a surprise party at his house and now this. Is this July 'cause it sure feels like X-mas! Really, tomorrow. Be ready Klang in case tickets go on sale immediately. I can't bare to witness another shut-out. Unfortunately all my money is spent on pre and post parties in Chicago.

Cat might be let out of the bag tomorrow. KFOG's gonna announce the Klang Dang Doodle immediately following the Santa Clara announcement. Tickets will be available through TicketMaster. Man, if he gets shut out on his own gig. Just wouldn't be right.

Let's roll with Dead Lurches. They wrote some original material. "Tweets" will be their encore. Original lyrics sung to the tune of Fluffhead (Phish). Bill will be bouncing his balls (around the room, obviously). He's a closet Phish-head. It's well documented.
