My 611 roommates and I got together last night to spread some Christmas cheer to all those finishing their shopping and dining in downtown Naperville. My friends, Chris and Mark, arranged about 10 Christmas tunes in a week and we met in Naperville for a burger and a beer. About 6:15 we headed out to play for anyone who would listen; we played on street corners, in bars, at restaurants (Lou Malnatis & Chipotle offered to feed us), in bookstores and where ever people needed to smile. We had such a blast and think we might make this a new tradition. Here are a few pictures of us playing outside Barnes & Noble. Check out my facebook for a video of us playing. We don't sound half bad considering two of us hadn't played trombone in two years and we played for over 2.5 hours (until 9pm).
