    I like this thread.... and what about post-show bars. Someone from Chicago should pic one... and just let us know!

    I'm talking to the Dark Horse today about a post show deal, something like $15 for 2 hours of all you can drink draft beer. I'll post again later today when I get more info...(if more people would rather do the $1 thing, they'd probably do that for a specific domestic beer, but they have more choices if we want to go the other route)

    They will have tons of PJ tunes on hand, before and after the show. I'm working on coming up with any other PJ related ideas, it's such a great bar and they would love to have the fans come and hang out. PM me if you have any suggestions or ideas!

    This sounds like a good idea... you can count me in. And if my PJ buddy and I don't actually get in to the show... we'll head over and get the place warmed up! (Warmed up = being depressed and getting stinking drunk)
