    If people are looking for a Chicago-land PJ get together, then I suggest the bar Alive One. Its on Halsted just south of Diversy. It has a juke box that usually contains a couple of live boots from concerts.

    *Disclaimer: I have not been there in a couple years, so I dont know what is currently in the juke box.

    Hi,


    Isn't the Ashland the place that the two pre parties was held at for the pre Backspacer shows in Chicago?..

    This is a pretty kickass bar...But, I am down for a place with a jukebox...I can't remember if the Ashland had a jukebox or not?..

    Yes it is. It doesn't have a jukebox as far as I remember but it has karaokee and video games like guitar hero etc. At least it did at that time.

    Sounds like a plan! I haven't been to Alive One in years, but it used to be really awesome so I'm sure it still is. My vote goes to either March 10 or March 31...anyone interested send either myself or RF283878 a PM and we'll get it together.

    Hi,

    I am down for any of those dates...It doesn't matter to me...But, if I had to pick one... 3/31 would be my pick...I think Alive One bar will be a great place to have it..I always like bars that have Jukeboxes...I seen on Alive One website they have one of the PJ's Gorge shows on the juke..

    I am totally down for this get together..Just want to make sure we stay at the Alive One for a pretty good amount of time...I will be taking the train all the way from Alton up to Chi town....Does anyone know how far the Union Station is from the Alive One bar?....I am probably will be going solo....I am up for splitting a hotel room with someone..Also hang around the next day and do some sight seeing...

    Alive One is not very close to union station. But you could take the el from downtown north to lincoln park where alive one is. There's a brown line el stop about 2-3 blocks from alive one.
