    Awesome!! Thanks Laura!

    I'm arriving Saturday. Staying at the Crown Plaza (believe it or not they were the cheapest I could find this close to the show).
    I'm trying to get tix for that Cubs game (Sat game).

    I'll be keeping one eye here to see where the party on the Sat is being held. See you all there!

    I think some kind of meetup will get planned for Sunday night - we just didn't want to do the fundraiser then because a) more people voted for Saturday and b) it would've been harder to coordinate :D

    I went to Wrigley Field last week for a couple games against the SF Giants Big fun, but just to let you know there were TONS of game tickets being bought and sold on the streets surrounding the Park. These were well attended games too. So, no worries about Cubs tickets if you don’t have them already. When hunting for tickets on game day remember to check around a bit before buying and barter to your advantage. Things are heatingup! Go Cubs GO!! Catch the Night Trainafterwards!!!


    so you think there is a chance to get 2 tix in the streets for saturday's game?

    sailboatcaptain, Saturday you should be at Lollapalooza rocking but if you must, no worries bout Cubs tix mon. Not only will you get in, you can get in for cheap. The SF Giants series had box office sales, fan sales and brokers had fists full of tickets. Expect the same next week.

    ~

    btw, Chicago has licensed street musicians and their plugged in! You will see them all over the city and in the airports. Make sure if you like what you see and hear; toss them a buck or two. They have badges to prove their licensed. Please don’t leave your extra dough with theseguys. Be a smart visitor :)

    ~

    I merged a Lollapalooza map and city transit map so you can get a better idea how the Festival, Grant Park and the city streets lineup. The map also shows CTA train (el) stops downtown. MAP HERE :eek: Zoom in for streets :eek:

    thanks a lot!!!
