House of Blues

I'm not sure if I told everyone, but I won through 89.7 a whole Father's Day gift for Tim. We ended up going to the House of Blues the day before we closed on our new home. We met Tower from the radio station before the show and he did a short interview, and then we went in for Tim's guitar lesson with Ben from the band skillet. It was so cool!
We spent about 45 minutes in the green room for the House of Blues. We had to go up several flights of steps where the walls are lined with pics of celebrities who have performed at the House of Blues. From what we heard, there are not many people who get to go in there, let alone bring cameras.
I met Lori, who is the drummer and Ben the guitarist, we didn't see the other two members. Tim had a 45 minute guitar lesson with Ben that went really well. Afterwards we went outside along the Chicago River and were interviewed by Tower, from Shine.fm, and Andy, from CCM magazine. We then were able to go inside and watch the whole concert! It was definitely a cool experience. If you want to check out the video of the whole experience, you can go to shine.fm It was in the middle of the home page, otherwise you can click on the picture of the band Skillet.

Oh, yeah, and Tim got an autographed guitar from the whole band!
