...I was told in a pm on facebook, that it was for emergency vehicles only.. That sounds great - you have one! And one of the coolest types of emergency vehicles, a blumo. I'll miss the parade, but I look forward to good stories about it on Saturday. your friend in parading around, arthur

Just a minor update...
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the MP Cruise committee has/ had informed me that they were altering the schedule and moving the advertised gathering date from the 11th, to the 4th.
However, I see that their downloadable .pdf schedule still lists Aug 4th as "Hound Dog Night", with a live 50's band.
For the gathering they have booked "Elmore James Jr. & The Broom Dusters", son of the legendary Chicago blues artist, Elmore James.
They, and the gathering, are still listed on the .pdf as happening on Aug 11th.
I am hoping that they truly did switch the gathering (and the live bands), but I can't see how they are getting the word out to the emergency vehicles, and the 50's cruisers, without updating the pdf schedule.
I suppose we'll see what happens....

sigmfsk & pop made it to CEVS but it shut down early. They are at the hotel and there's a cool looking fury blumo in the parking lot. Someone please post or give them a call when you are meeting up at the Mt. Prospect Blues Bar. The hotel is 630-897-7695 room 327.

The hourly forecast says no rain between 6-9pm (the hours of the show), but there are storms listed just before, and just after, that time. I guess it was too slim of a window for them to keep it on.

I'm being the internet connection helper for CEVS.
TK - sigmfsk says thanks for the message. The phone ringer was broken but it's fixed now. And the message cut out and he didn't get your area code.
Mt. Prospect has been cancelled today. How about site seeing tomorrow?
Sean, 76bluesmobile - do you want to go out to dinner around the Baymont somewhere tonight?
