Blues and B.B. King

As Chicago is the Blues capital, it is only fitting that I am finally falling in love with the Blues. Last night I went to the Blues Fest to actually listen to the music. The Fest concluded with a phenomenal performance by B.B. King. I am still slightly in awe that was able to see him live. I truly do love this city.

You can't tell, but this is B.B. King. My friends got better pictures, but still, this is B.B. King!!!

This is the crowd crossing Michigan Avenue from the Blues Fest. Michigan Avenue was open to traffic and so was the street we were standing it. It was kind of amazing to be part of this crowd. Normally during the larger fests some of these streets are blocked off so that the masses of people can safely get to the trains, but they had crossing guards instead. I must say they had a very tough job (much of the crowd was drunk or high by this point) and they did very well. Yeah, Chicago!
