Chicago Day 1

Woke up at 4am to catch the 6:30am flight to Chicago for my very first out-of-town trip with GM for the Easter Musical. At first I was worried that because I don't know the brothers and sisters in the team too well hence I will feel awkward or what not but thankfully everything turned out well.
Our United plane was delayed for 1 hour (something was wrong with the communications system) but we arrived in Chicago before 2pm local time (Chicago is 2 hours ahead of Vancouver). Finally got to meet the local church and the choir that will be serving with us. It was interesting to see everything finally fall together (I have only seen the musical once almost 9 years ago so I don't remember a thing).
Unfortunately, we didn't really get to venture out around Chicago today as we were mainly devoting our time to rehearsals. We did manage to have meals around Chinatown twice though (the church is situated in Chinatown) but compared to Vancouver Chinatown, Chicago Chinatown is a lot more "dead" - there weren't a lot of people walking around.
Tomorrow night will be our first performance. I am most concerned about messing up my lyrics.
