Can't beat Chicago blues for live music. Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Sunnyland Slim, Mighty Joe Young, James Cotton, Eddie Clearwater, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown...just to name a few. Man those people put on some kicka#* shows. That record-setting 26 degrees below zero and wind chill of MINUS 83 degrees in the early-mid 80's...I came out of a club at 2:00am and had to deal with a dead car battery But skiing, Steamboat, and mountains wouldn't be so bad either. At Keystone back in November, I saw a guy on a homemade ski-bike. He made it from a mountain bike frame, had suspension and everything. Very cool.
