A couple of years earlier, I toured with Ringo Starr and played the House of Blues in Chicago. I remembered being struck by how (well-run) it was.

This week, our members will come to Chicago from across the nation for the single most important gathering we hold each year. Celebrating our 15 years of leadership, NLGJA is uniquely qualified to bring skills and substance to the expert coverage of critical gay issues.

A lot of people think of Chicago when you say we're turning the river green.

It's just a great joy to get back together on a stage 30 years later and be able to do it,

But now, we don't have that pressure, and we don't have to stay out on the road for six months,

Yeah, it's funny how 30 years and having families and developing lives tends to change people.
