Taste of Randolph St.

A friend of a friend here in the city recommended that I check out one of Chicago's street festivals, The Taste of Randolph St., this weekend. His description--bands by night and food tasting by day, plus the chance to walk around the streets of Chicago with a beer in your hand--sounded so great that I had to check it out right away. Indeed, the "fest's" website leaves no doubt that it's sure to be a good time. Sadly, I don't know any of the bands--I've realized that if I'm going to live here I should probably get a little (or a lot) more familiar with the inde music scene--so if you recognize anyone in the lineup as a stand-out, let me know and I'll be sure to check it out.
