I'm really grateful that I got to go to Chicago last week, however, it also meant that I missed the biggest thing that has ever happened in our town. Except for when the state capitol seal was "stolen" in 1910. And trust me, that was a big deal. 103 years later and people around here are still bitter about it. So I guess technically I missed the second biggest thing to ever happen - a Mumford and Sons concert!
The city has been planning it for at least 6 months and it was suppose to be a huge, weekend long festival. They were setting-up a couple of days before we left and we were already experiencing crazy traffic. Not sure how they fit all those people into our sleepy little town but apparently they did. And I heard it was an awesome concert.
Equally upsetting, maybe even a little more so, was that a few weeks before the conference I saw some advertisements that Kevin James was coming to campus for a performance. I love Kevin James - he is hilarious! I am sure his stand-up was great. So I jumped on the computer to get us some tickets and was stoked when I realized they were really reasonable. But then I realized his one day performance was the day we flew out. Really? That stinks!
Then when we were in Chicago we're walking down the street when we see a billboard advertising...Kevin James! So I run over to check and...he's there the day after we leave!
I guess it's like so many other things in life - it doesn't matter how bad you want it, sometimes you just gotta accept that it's not meant to be.
