Chicago Fans - who's traveling to see some shows?

PJ-Cubs

Fans in Chicago and Wisconsin - who is roadtripping to go see some shows in May? Which ones are you going to?
I have never traveled to see the band outside of Chicago but now seems like as good as time as ever.

From Chicago you can take the amtrak to Alton which is close to St.Louis for around 40 bucks..I am not sure what it would be for Chicago to STL roundtrip...You can check at amtrak..

i'm thinking about it...i to have never ventured out to see the boys. are any of the midwest shows outdoors?

given2fly23

probably Columbus, Indy and MSG (fly).

KingJeremyD

Indy show is outside for sure...

davidtrios

indy and cleveland (with love on two legs).

mvw

Indy for me! Wish I could do more, but I know this alone will satisfy my fix.

andyzoffhegoes

From Madison. Going to indy Cleveland. Should be enough this year.

I'm opting to stick in the midwest. Having seen them already at MSG and Boston, it seems like there'll be less Ten Clubbers at these shows. Driving to K City, then St Louis, coming back to Chicago and then heading down to Indy for the Friday show. Saw them in Indy in 2000, and it was a fantastic show and I don't remember anything bad about the venue(getting out of the parking lot aside).

Alpine Bound

I have never seen PJ outside the chicagoland area (alpine included)... I'd love to go to StL or Indy. both are a 4-5 hour drive from the city. However, only my ex-girlfriend shares my love for PJ and I dont wanna go with her. Guess I'll have to wait til the next Chicago stops

Damn my friends for not liking PJ since 1999 :evil:

I haven't figured out my plans yet, as I'm waiting on one of my girlfriends to decide if she'll roadtrip with me. Because of my schedule (damn grad school) and lack of funds, I'm choosing between Indy and Cleveland, and I'm hoping for MSG I as a good excuse to go home to Philly for a long weekend.

i might opt for indy...if it's outside and i don't get ten club tickets i can just pick up lawn tix; always liked the lawn. either way LIVE PEARL JAM!!!

mirrorthelight

I myself have never traveled outside Chicago to Pearl Jam either. Planning on driving to Indy (3 1/2hr drive), pending tickets. I would love to do Cleveland as well but I don't think I can get Monday off of work.

Indifference71

Indy for sure, already booked a hotel. Maybe Columbus....still trying to figure that one out.

loladog1

I plan on going to KC, Cleveland, and the NYC 1 Show....possibly the Indy show... That is....if I can get my presale 10club tix!!!

I'll also probably be rolling solo to the shows...so let me know

simmers33

KC, St. Louis and Indy for me!

thunderDAN

you guys ever ride Megabus?

looks like you can ride Chicago to Cleveland round trip for $10--

I maybe interested in going 1/2 with someone else for St. Louis.

Does anyone know if this Megabus thing is ok for white people?

i'm still debating...i was leaning towards Indy and Columbus. But the Colubus presale ticket go on sale during a meeting. feck.

KC is a haul from here. St. Louis..does anybody really wnat to go there.

Clevenland is a monday after a friday show in indy so that's not really good timing.

mega bus....that's an interesting thought tho. can't beat $10...it'd cost me about 75 in gas to make the tirp.

I rode it in College to Chicago and it was mostly college kids.....that was when gas was $3.50 a gallon, but I haven't been on it recently

dougfloyd

I was going to mention Megabus too. There is a route between Indy and Chicago too. Never taken it before so can't say what it's like, but I think it's cheap.

I had tentatively planned on going to Jazz Fest, but now that they're playing in KC 2 nights later, that's looking like the better option.

Jazz Fest
---
Pros: More Fun in the Quarter. Get to see a ton of bands

Cons: 2 hours of PJ songs max, $500 3 hour flight (minimum), far far worse hangovers due the depravity of the Quarter

KC
---
Pros: Cheaper, Quick Flight, Hotel right next to Sprint Center, 3 hours of PJ, My old home so I still have a ton of friends there, new P&L District surrounding the arena

Cons: No French Quarter and all the things that come with that place
---

Seems like a no-brainer to me. Might also try to get to Indy as well.

sullylove

definitely indy...maybe MO, and/or Ohio

shadowcast

Indiana only for me.....was thinking about KC and St. Louie but Im holding out for a posible Alpine/Wrigley deal in the fall. I can can hope.....

oona left

Hopefully IN and either Columbus or Cleveland. Hell, all three if I get my way.

That is, if I can get a road trip partner. Waiting on a friend, who doesn't seem to appreciate that I need to know now!!

I'm going to look into Megabus, in the event I end up traveling alone (scary thought). Thanks, whomever, for the tip.

indifferentman

I'm looking for someone to split tickets with for Cleveland. My 10C number is a 245xxx. Not great, but good enough to get me in about the front 1/3 to the middle of the floor at most shows.

I live in Plymouth, WI (hour north of Milwaukee). I already have plans to see Noblesville (and have someone to split tickets with for that show) and will be planning on driving from Noblesville to Toledo (little brother lives there) Sat, then doing the Cleveland show Sun. and going back to Toledo before I drive home on Mon.

If anyone wants to split tickets with me PM me.

I am looking to go to Indy and St. Louis

Indy will be a great show, much like the artist formerly known as the world music theater.

I am pumped for St.Louis, they always get great shows too.

only suckable thing is I have to drive back to Chicago after both shows, work one day, mother's day the other....I am going to be a basket case.

Alpine Bound

I just saw how cheap Megabus is from chicago to cleveland and back! I may just have to go there Sunday AM, catch the show and leave on the 1am home! I don't have tickets for any of the shows, but was hoping to find someone with spares (and a better 10C # than my 337xxx)

81

its official...i'm headed to Indy. my brother who lives in bloomington is going with me. too bad he can't drive a stick.

IMGONNALUKIN

Trying to find someone that wants to go with me? ...Still looking. :x
