The cache container is typical for the series. Bring your own
scribbler. Please replace the cache exactly as you found it. GZ can
see high amounts of muggle traffic so be sure to use an appropriate
level of ninja skills. Coords were confirmed on GoogleMaps. Please
include any concerts/shows you have seen at the venue when you log
your visit online. I have seen Sevendust and Gravity Kills here.
The House of Blues grew out of founder Isaac Tigrett's love for the
unique American art form known as the "the Blues". Weaned on this
music during his early childhood in Tennessee, one of Isaac's goals
was to introduce the world to the music of the rural south,
including the Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Gospel, Jazz and Roots-abed
Rock & Roll. The very first House of Blues opened its doors in
a converted historical house in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1992
and is home to live music, original folk art, and delta-inspired
cuisine. The House of Blues is dedicated to educating and
celebrating the history of Southern Culture and African American
artistic contributions to music and art. House of Blues Chicago
opened in 1996 and is located in the historic Marina City complex
on the Chicago River and is modeled after the spectacular
"Estavovski" Opera House in Prague. From legendary acts such as The
Who and Al Green to contemporary artists such as Pearl Jam and
Jurassic 5, House of Blues Chicago has been host to some of the
world’s most renowned musicians. In keeping with tradition,
the House of Blues Chicago displays the "Crazy Quilt" and keeps a
metal box of mud from the Delta Mississippi underneath its stage.
