I would love to go to the Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Festival because Bela Fleck, Emmitt Nershi Band, and Dr. Dor rock! Also, I saw the Giving Tree Band open up for the Bottle Rockets last weekend at Fitzgeralds and have been itching for more ever since!

I want to go the the festival because there are so many great local and national acts.. I have never seen the Flecktones or Dr. Dog, and I am big fans of both... But then there are also really great local acts like Van Ghost and the Giving Tree Band... It will surely be a night to remember.

I would like to go to the Chicago Bluegrass and Blues Festival because It has a wonderful lineup! This is also the closest Bela Fleck and the Flecktones show to me and I would really love to catch it! The lineup looks to provide for a really fun day of music, and I love that there are local acts on the bill. As a college student, this would be a great way to end the semester!

I love bluegrass music! What a great opportunity to see bluegrass and blues during the winter. And it gives a chance to change pace from the holiday bustle.

My 19 year old guitar-playing son is taking an Amtrak from Albany out to Chicago to visit my brother. The one thing he wants to do in Chicago is attend this concert. No kidding. A pair of free tix would make his trip!

We're very high tech over here at ND headquarters. I put each name in a paper sack and had my son draw one out. And the winner is......Susie!

Thanks to everyone for participating.
