Hey there again, did you get to see Cradle?  I think they played your area right before I saw them in Chicago Sunday. The concert was excellent!  Unforgettable and Most memorable. They really gave their all for Chicago. They must be tired as hell. I was looking at their tour schedule and they are doing shows in a different state almost every night, which means they are sleeping on their bus, unloading when they get there, then packing up, sleeping on the bus again to the next state.  They are getting breaks about every 5-days, for a night, then back on the road. OIt appears they won't get a real break until April. I was looking on Fearnet for an updated blog to see any mentions of the concert I attended (and others) yet I imagine they haven't had any time for updating.  I took a lot of photos, yet it was hard to get anything really decent, or clear, or just a good capture as I was being moshed, squashed and crowd surfers going overhead. I captured one of the crowd surfers on footage. I was trying to get some footage and it was the same as trying to take pictures, at one point in the video, the camera was aiming at the ceiling, and then when the crowd surfers were coming overhead, security would get in the way of the camera to catch them and bring them down.  Yet I still got footage during the last two songs of the encore  ;)  I'm doing what I can to salvage any images to post some, I might make a slideshow of them. Also, I had footage, one of the vids I captured, of James McIlroy playing his guitar, doing the headbang/hair thing, it was less than a minute because I gave up trying to get it any better, I turned it into a very kewl .gif image ;) Anyway.. Just wanted to see if you went and to share my experience and to let you know that I DID get some captures to post ;) Hope you were able to see them. I'm grabbing the player from the CoF group as well while I'm doing all of this and posting it to my page. Thanks for allowing me to use it. Take care. Until next time

Hey there! How's life treating recently? Haven't seen you posting much on Exile or here.  I haven't received any notifications in the email about any posts all, so I had to wonder if all is well with you. I'm hoping so! Are you going to be able to make it out to any of the Cradle Shows?  I just now found out, as of a couple of hours ago, that they were going to be near me on Sunday :s  They won't be in my area, St.Louis, so I'm leaving early Sunday Morning  to drive from St. Louis to Chicago (Nice long 4-5 hour drive) I want to get there as early as possible and get a decent place in the line (which will be insane I'm assuming, Especially in Chicago, Lot's of metal bands hailing from the *Windy City* ;)  well, I'm rambling on and on.. so I'll stop at this.  I hope all is well and that you get to see them. Take care.. until next time xox

Happy Halloween!! I hope you're having a great one!! xox
