Summer Concert Traffic Begins
So I’m heading home, cruzing up I71 when just after the I270 overpass traffic comes to a screeching halt. Moving at a pace of 2 mph the Polaris exit sign looks ohhh so far away 
*HONK* *HONK* I hear as a champaign Toyota Highlander cruises by me; It’s Bambo! He calls me up on my broken cell phone and informs me there is a Dave Matthews Band concert tonight up at the Polaris Ampitheater. The even better news is DMB is going to be here again tommorow night… JOYYYYYY.
For future reference here are the scheduled concert dates for Polaris Ampitheater as of June 7th, 2005:
