I just heard exciting news this weekend that Cheap Trick is going to play a show at The LImelight here in Peoria on February 9th! I just bought a ticket and I’ll have post on that show the next day on Friday, February, 10th! Until then, here’s a half a dozen Cheap Trick links and then a look at what’s coming up here next week on MBIP!

Coming up tomorrow is our Saturday Night dinner at Knuckle’s Pizza. The pizza is wonderful there, but I sampled something other than pizza last night, tune in tomorrow to see what I had there! Tuesday we continue our “Year In the LIfe of a Sandwich” food tour and this week I met Erik Reader and we sampled some Spanish sandwiches at Panaderia Ortiz Bakery (pictured above.) I kind of have a plan for Wednesday, but it’s not for sure yet, so I’m not going to put it down just yet and Thursday, I think I’m going to do yet another, “Can I Eat My Lunch In Here” segment. I already feel a little sick about that, but these things have to be done! Friday I’m kind of thinking about going to The Basket Case on Main Street, it’s been a while since I’ve been there, so we’ll see. That could change too. So enjoy your Sunday and just like The Velvet Underground, we’ll see you at All Tomorrow’s Parties!
