if you're going today, I'd advise you leave for Hart Plaza sooner rather than later. there were so many people there yesterday that the police weren't letting anyone else into the fest after about 6 or 7 PM. equally large crowds are expected today.
see u there.
ate din-din at Pontiac Diner (used to be Maya's Deli, half a block north of the Crofoot) last night. best Reuben I've ever had. will most likely have another one before the Covenant show. :D
