Think of this as an adventure.
We aren't going into this unprepared.
I don't care what I need to bring, I'm NOT going to let the elements prevent me from having a great time.
WE are die hard fans.
WE can do this.
I accept the challenge of Mother Nature.

IMPORTANT STUFF TO KEEP IN MIND
1. Clothing does not make you warm; it is your body processes that keep you warm. Clothing merely provides the insulation to preserve your warmth.
2. Layered thickness is warmth.
3. Keep your torso warm so that it can send heat to the extremities.
4. Avoid sweating by ventilation.
5. Keep rain and wind out of your insulation.
6. Use your head. Keep it covered when you're cold; remove cap as you warm up to avoid sweating.
7. Strain one muscle against another to maintain metabolism.
8. Wool clothing is best but needs wind protection, synthetics are next best. Down is OK as long as it stays dry, cotton is a poor choice.
9. If your feet are cold, put a hat on.
10. Remember the word "COLD" -
Keep your clothing - Clean.
Avoid -------------- Overheating
Wear clothing ------ Loose
Keep it ------------ Dry |

Of the two Chicago bears games I have ever attended, one was the NFC title game against the 49ers where the windchill was 26 degrees below, so I know how to dress for Soldier Field.
The only thing stopping me and my better half from going to Soldier Field this Wednesday, IS NOT THE COLD, but Michael Cohl's pricing scheme.
If we can find relatively good tickets for under $150 total, we will be there. Otherwise, we may just have to get our Stones fix with Tim Ries and Darryl Jones, as the Martyr's show is walking distance from our apartment. |

No shit... LJ, you and I are trained professionals at this!
I have had extensive research these past few weeks whilst parking my ass out on a steel bleacher each Friday night to the tune of a high school football game out in the middle of some prairie!!! I have been primed. Bring Mother Nature's wicked ass on...Soldier Field is going to be a cake walk, lol |

You guys will not let a few stinkin' snow flakes slow you down!
That weather is following you home, though. I see that it's headed our way.
This has the makings of a legendary Stones show.

Show is very much open....I do , however, predict an excellent setlist. We will work very hard today and tommorrow filling it in as we did Giants, but weather doesn't help...we do our best.
Also, have the Stones ever performed with space heaters on stage?

Make sure the wings of the plane are de-iced before taking off. Be safe and enjoy a very similar crowd to the humiliation that was Buffalo 97-the last concert ever in that god forsaken town. |
