eatin', lookin' at art, and musicking in Chicago (Anneke van Giersbergen and Novembers Doom)

A metalhead living close to Toronto has it pretty good. This is likely true of most any music fan, really (though it may depend on the particularity of one's taste). For me, anyway, the number of bands on my 'must see' list that haven't played southern Ontario at some point is relatively small. But once in a while a tour doesn't make it to Toronto, and there's no end to worthy festivals and special events happening elsewhere. When the draw is strong enough, it's time to head out on a road trip or hop on a plane. My latest music-related travels took me to Chicago to see Anneke van Giersbergen and Novembers Doom.
