Why, it IS a walk in the park.

Tonight, Metro kicks of its 25th anniversary by going grand with the Decemberists, the Grant Park Orchestra and Millenium Park. This rare orchestral performance starts at 6:30 p.m., so make sure you leave work at a reasonable hour. If your boss asks where you are going, just say you've gotta see history in the making. And leave it at that.

I heart the Decemberists. Sigh.
