A storm blew into Chicago around cocktail hour today. In addition to stray bolts of lightening there were buckets of rain. Buckets and buckets of rain. I think it dampened the attendance at The Jay Pritzker Pavilion's World Class Jazz Asia concert. The pavilion can host over 10,000 people (4000 seats in front of the stage and 7000 on the great lawn). Seats have to be reserved but the lawn is open to all. It's great to a grab a blanket (or in the case of the 2 women in the forefront-folding chairs!), a bottle of wine, loaf of bread and thou and enjoy not just great sound but a wonderful view.
