Motion City Soundtrack and Ultimate Fakebook in Chicago
A little over 3 weeks ago, I experienced one of the greatest shows ever (well, three for that matter.) Â So great that its left me speechless..well, until now. Â How does one sum up three days of awesome? Â And how does one sum up three days of awesome 3 weeks later? (The pressure is ON.)
