This damn Myspace quiz has engulfed my life, I'm not sure about that question and a couple others...

I think the first "Smashing Pumpkins day" in Chicago was 7/7/1998. I don't know if they made it a yearly thing or not.

Hmm, I've seen a lot of conflicting dates.

nearly every stop on the us adore tour declared that day (they day they played in a particular city) smashing pumpkins day for the city..
