grills steaks on man-made lava. it's made by super-heating gravel. the lava gets up to 21 hundred degrees... perfect for searing the steaks. then, as it cools down, the meat is returned to the grill and cooked to suit the taste of the diner. of course, the griller has to wear a thick leather jacket... a visor... and giant oven mitts, to avoid getting burned. but that is pretty cool. it's a little

when the shooting took place. people are only required to use a key card or just signed in. no metal detectors or screening for weapons. one expert said this. >> we recommend three things, get out of the building run or evacuate. can you hide? to the shelter in place? get in your office shut the lights off put something against the door and ultimately you have to fight. >> experts say securing

festivals. they don't just translate lyrics. the capture the spirit of the music, pass it on to the deaf audience. >> one of the additional challenges is showing what the music sounds like. how the music is portrayed, what it looks like to somebody who can't hear. and the lyrics are difficult to analyze and to understand and to understand the subtext. we also have coaches and other people to influence how we signed so that it's completely fluent and it matches the music and the intent of the artist. >> all week hard work prepping for their set. like howdy assigned songs with rapid-fire lyrics? >> we have to do a lot of research we have to know what it means before we interpret something like that. we also have to know how to condense the material in a way that we can take the intent and put it into science and get the signed in the same amount of time. we do a lot of work before hand. a lot of research. we get feedback before we, on account for our audience. >> every once in awhile an interpreter can become part of the show. >> we had one experience a few years ago with green day and he came over and interacted with the interpreter quite a bit and also engaged the deaf community and brought them into the show pull the interpreter up and manipulated the interpreter a bit during the show but at the time, in teaching the deaf audience and that was a cool experience

equally. in the last year there's been a lot of controversy about interpreters as celebrities. and about the attention that has been placed on the interpreter rather than the audience. what we recognize at all what ever want to recognize is not only is the interpreter there for the deaf audience and only because there is a tough audience so they can come have a great time like everybody else and also because the artist is there and the artist has a connection with the fans. we are there as a way to let those two communities connect and rock out. >> if you want to learn more about

roadwork between jackson and adams. left lane is blocked all scheduled to be picked up at the top of the hour. take a look at the maps we are dealing with a fire this morning in cicero at 30th and 54th. expect added delays through there. and a look at the o'hare expressway we had delays heading inbound. >> the music festival is finally here. >> ever body is up watching and short. people wakeup like 1:00 a.m. to this. i did every of these music festivals i was wondered what it's like to be the sign language interpreter whose right there on the side of the stage. so few days ago we went out there getting ready all week long and found that more. >> i am barbee parker. >> she's with lotus sign the company this serves as a sign language interpreters for the deaf community at music festivals. they don't just translate lyrics. the capture the spirit of the music, pass it on to the deaf audience. >> one of the additional challenges is showing what the music sounds like. how the music is portrayed, what it looks like to somebody who can't hear. and the lyrics are difficult to analyze and to understand and to understand the subtext. we also have coaches and other people to influence how we signed so that it's completely fluent and it matches the music and the intent of the artist. >> all week hard work prepping for their set. like howdy assigned songs with rapid-fire lyrics? >> we have to do a lot of research we have to know what it means before we interpret something like that. we also have to know how to condense the material in a way that we can take the intent and put it into science and get the signed in the same amount of time. we do a lot of work before hand. a lot of research. we get feedback before we, on account for our audience. >> every once in awhile an interpreter can become part of the show. >> we had one experience a few years ago with green day and he came over and interacted with the interpreter quite a bit and also engaged the deaf community and brought them into the show pull the interpreter up and manipulated the interpreter a bit during the show but at the time, in teaching the deaf audience and that was a cool experience because then the deaf audience became a part of that. >> despite earning kisses from green day and ozzie osborn, the team want to make sure the focus is not on the interpreter and it remains on the deaf community. >> overall deaf people are just like everyone else. what the want to do is come to an event and feel connected and feel like they fit and along and that they want to be treated equally. in the last year there's been a lot of controversy about interpreters as celebrities. and about the attention that has been placed on the interpreter rather than the audience. what we recognize at all what ever want to recognize is not only is the interpreter there for the deaf audience and only because there is a tough audience so they can come have a great time like everybody else and also because the artist is there and the artist has a connection with the fans. we are there as a way to let those two communities connect and rock out. >> if you want to learn more about them and just go to their web site they have videos up there from all the past shows and everything else. they also look for volunteers it's a little too late for this music festival but going into the next year and you can find more information on their website. >> coming up the interviews as guardians of the galaxy. will be right back. >> that is the mostthe call thee guardians of the galaxy taught at that here we are. a thief, to thugs, an assassin, and a maniac. but we won't stand by as evil white out the galaxy. >>its marvels 'guardians of the galaxy'...a band of space mis- fits who start off trying to get the best price for a metal ball that everyone will do anything to possess...and wind up fighting the biggest intergalactic bad guys....protecting the innocent citizens of nearby planets. screen characters. its a great deans list b plus. get on up about james brown. dean says if there's ever a movie where a star makes it look like work it's this one. is it a b plus. >>

bit of thunder reported but otherwise we should be dry today. our highs will make the '80s. the could have been widely scattered char or a thunderstorm. >> coming up, the latest on a deadly shooting
