On the morning of August 31st the band "60xxx" was playing for the Overcast Kids (Fall Out Boy fan club). Most were unsure who "60xxx" was. That afternoon fans walked into Angels and Kings bar and saw a Fall Out Boy banner hanging as the backdrop, the same one as in the Dead On Arrival music video. Fans that had been waiting there since 8 am were crammed into the bar; only 86 OCK’s plus one guest were allowed in. Fall Out Boy played a set of songs released prior to From Under the Cork Tree as well as their new single "I Don't Care" off their upcoming fall release Folie a Deux. During their set the band called themselves "boner party" and said they were from 2002. "Let's go back to 2002, no one has camera phones because they're expensive..." said Pete Wentz.

"You can take pictures, just enjoy yourself too," replied Patrick Stump.
The surrounding was reminiscent of a Fall Out Boy show played at Knights of Columbus or the Fireside Bowl.

That night the band also performed for the Nike 10K Run. In a press conference prior to their performance we asked, "What can we expect from the new record as far as production and guest appearances?"

"We decided to work with the same producer as our last two CDs because it was natural and just flowed" and that "There would be songs with an insane amount of instruments,” said Pete Wentz.

"We used over 100 [instruments]," said Joe Trohman.

The band played a set consisting mostly of songs from Infinity On High, their cover of Beat It, and a couple old ones for a crowd that had just ran the 10k race for a foundation of their choice. The fans met the barricade at the end of their run; some of them there since 8 am as well. The stage was set on Chicago's famous Soldier Field and fans of the band volunteered to support the Nike Company and see the show. The crowd was relaxed and the weather was awesome. Fall Out Boy proved that whether it was a small capacity venue or a football field they could give their fans a great time.

"We got involved with the race because it was in Chicago and we wanted to play in our hometown,” Patrick Stump said.

"Which is the biggest Nike 10k race in the US," added Pete Wentz.
