Tuesday in Grant Park

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Chicago lit up on Tuesday with a level of energy and optimism that was impossible to resist. I attended the Obama victory rally in Grant Park, and while the event itself was great, I was most moved simply by the relief, hope, and positivity of the crowd. People were everywhere. All happy, all chanting, all celebrating. It certainly felt like a transformative event, for Chicago, for America and, hopefully, the world as a whole. It was certainly reaffirming to see a campaign win primarily with a message of hope, which is such a contrast to the recent Karl Rove-run campaigns that had a foundation largely built on fear. Hopefully, I will have better seats when he hosts another victory party in 4 years!

Interview with Lovers in Arms on AlwaysUrban

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

In the past two months Lovers in Arms have…


Finished their west coast tour
Dropped their album Strength for the Weary
Played a stupendous show at SubTs in Chicago.

Even after all that work Caroline and Armando still had the free time to answer a few questions about the formation of the band, how their sound came to be what it is, and the age old question “Which is better, bread bowl soup, or the mad hatter?”
