  • I moonlight as a waitress at Duffys on Diversey. We do tons of "wristband" parties and have a huge back room. This is enough advanced notice I think to work things out as far as reservations. While I'm in no way a decision maker there I can get you in touch with management.

    It's a bit far from Wrigley (420 w Diversey) and cavernous which isn't the best for July! But it's on the table :)

    I can definitely help once I find out if I get a ticket through the second lottery. I won't be able to afford it any other way. I might be able to help without a ticket but I don't know that for sure yet.

    So, has there been any update on location? Date? Time?
    I want to be there for sure! Will help in any way I can!
