Anyone been to HOB Chicago? Surprisingly never went while I lived there --- looking at L'Imperatrice there in April but wondering how crowded it tends to get? Not so much worried about COVID but tend to avoid *super* packed places on principle, especially if it's open floor/no seating.
But one thing I feel I learned from COVID is how much I took for granted being able to go to shows *and* how rarely I'd been doing it, for all sorts of reasons. So trying to get back out there a little more frequently and worry less, lol, take advantage of the opportunity to be out and see music knowing life doesn't always offer it.
