Iron and Wine in the Garden

We were among the millions of people at the free Iron and Wine concert at Millennium Park this week. I mean, there weren't millions of people but it felt like that because it was SO crowded. We knew it was going to be crowded and even prepared for that by having some friends save some spots for us on the lawn.

WELL, by the time we got there, security had closed off the lawn because there were too many people.

SO, we ended up sneaking around a fence to get into the garden behind the lawn and it was one of those very happy accidents. It was beautiful back there and instead of feeling like sardines in a can like everyone else, we could spread out and enjoy the music. I'm sure it would have been better to actually get into the lawn and hang out with our friends but it turned out alright.

From this angle, it looks like were just hanging out in some mansion's backyard not in downtown Chicago.

Trying to get a better view

Love summer nights in Chicago!!! And Iron and Wine!
