Baby, it's COLD outside

To say that it is cold out would be the greatest understatement of the year, my friends it is C-O-L-D here in Chicago today. This morning at 7 am the windchill was minus 30 degrees Farenheight! That's fatally cold! With the windchill Chicago was 102 degrees colder than Miami, Florida. DAMN!!
Tonight is the Annual Winter Bike Ride to the Baby Doll Polka Club. and I hope that those bike riders bundle up! This is the 4th year that we have done this and every year it's been packed. Everyone says that we Chicago folk can handle the cold but riding a bike in minus 30 wind chill is pretty damn extreme. I am going to take a lot of pictures tonight of the festivities- I am very excited to play this show tonight but even more excited to meet all of the people who are crazy enough to ride a bike for 15 miles in bone chilling weather!! Kathy Schubert if you are there tonight, please come up and say hi.
As of 1.30 pm it is 1 degree!! Brrrrrrr We are 1 degree warmer than Gnome Alaska!!
If any of the bikers are reading this- please BUNDLE UP

I did a search on my name and found it on your website. I was one of the cyclists almost rode in 0 degrees fahrenheit two years ago to the Baby Doll Polka Club. However, my feet were so cold that when we reached the start of the Orange Line, I hopped on and went home. Didn't even have to carry a bike because I was on the back of a recumbent tandem with an arm in a sling because of an injury.
I did make it to your performance at the bowling alley this year - especially since it was a non-smoking environment.
Why did you say you wanted me to say hello?
Do you know me? I don't even know exactly who I am writing to.
