    Perhaps I shouldn't have waited to book a hotel. Can't find anything remotely close to the hotel for less than $229 a night.

    I cant believe how affordable this whole thing is ending up to be.
    2 Early bird 3-day passes--120
    Airfare for 2 from Long Island---200 roundtrip
    Hotel (Best Western) Thursday-Monday--400

    So that is 720 split between my friend and I ---360 each!
    It was a no brainer.

    I have a room reserved at the Best Western Grant Park from 8/2 to 8/6. I am looking for someone to share the room and costs with me. Your company at the concert would be a plus. The room has one queen bed, but we can rent a roll away.

    My girlfriend and I procrastinated and didn't want to spend the big bucks, we booked a small hotel room in Lyons (about 20 miles from Grant Park). Anyone else in that area?

    yes it looks extremely haunted...i walk past that hotel everyday and i always think that.

    anyway, i live directly next door to the best western grant park so it'll be great to see some fellow fans on the street!
    i mean are you going to liberate us girls from the male, white, corporate oppression??

    Might be Marriott if someone hooks us up alright...working on that.

    Do you think its possible to run into the band at any of these hotels? I think we got them all covered by now ;)
    Give a yell, when you see them...
    Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?

    Blake Hotel (or Hotel Blake) for me
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride" ! Unknown
