I've never been to Chi town and I'm flying in on Friday early and staying until Monday, my hotel is .5 miles away from Grant Park, does anyone know if there are any good local dives for after the music stops?
originally i wasn't going as i am getting married on saturday the 4th in pittsburgh, but yesterday, i convinced my soon to be wife to fly to chicago sunday morning, go to the show, fly back to pa at 5am on monday to start our honeymoon trek to niagra falls.
all i have to say is i am marrying the most wonderful woman!!!!
i told her yesterday that she has made me the happiest man in the world.....twice
Based on this story, it is my opinion that you totally have the right woman. Congrats on your marriage and getting to go to the show.

I want to get to the front! I dont care if I am squashed. The last time I saw PJ was Lolla '92 and I definitely did NOT have anywhere near the front row, or the 30th row for that matter. I want to experience what many of you already have. Hopefully........
Nope, we don't accept outsiders into our group. If you haven't met us before the end of June it's too late... you'll just have to suffer up the front with the rest of them :cool:
Kidding of course we'll have a PARTY at the back

Don't think I'll make it before the weekend.

I didnt read through this thread, but will there be a meet up with pit members? there are a shitload going. i'm pleasantly surprised.
It seems with everyone's crazy schedules and itineraries, it would make the most sense to have a post-party Sunday night, that way everyone who wants to be there can be there..
I have so many bands that I want to see, not sure when a good time to pre-party would be. Could even do something on Friday for those of us who are going to be there for all 3 days.

How fun! I can bring cupcakes.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

I'll be sporting my "message pit" button.
yeah.. that's why I was thinking a post-party after the PJ show might be the best bet for a big ole party.. even Friday there are bands playing after Lolla I think?
Hey everyone....I've been kindof absent for a while. Things have been nuts. I am for sure coming all 3 days with my friend from work.

And call to you across the sky....
