Oh yes, we're such crazy, irresponsible parents...LOL! As I stated in my original post, we did have this worked out months ago when I first got the tickets as a responsible parent would do. However our grandparents can no longer watch her due to another commitment hence why I'm looking at ALL my options right now given that everything is paid in full at this point.

I think we'll just leave her in the hotel room while we go to the BBQ and the show. She's pretty good about entertaining herself and it'll only be a few hours. I mean what could go wrong? :corn:

You should of drew straws as to who stays at home with daughter and just gone solo in other words leave the wife at home and i do have two kids that are teens but i never had to take them to a concert that i wanted to attend , i'm sure you will work it out though sorry if i came off like an ass i do that once every 20yrs or so ...

People who are blaming you for your plans falling through are just silly... pretty sure this is not an ideal situation for you, but youre just trying to roll with the punches... I will tell you though, that I tried to do the 3 in 2 seats deal at a police concert at Wrigley and it didnt work out well. My sister who is probably only slightly bigger that your 7 year old had ticket a part from us (long story) and we tried to sneak her down by us. There simply was NO room! Wrigley seats are tight as hell as it is. It was a pain and everyone around us was pissed... It may have been easier if we were at the end of a row but we werent and there was just no room.

And as far as the 10 club thing, I would pass on this as well. Past events may have been tame, but summer, wrigleyville, pj show, pj fans = trouble.

Here's what I would do if you trust it: https://www.monicare.com/hotel-babysitt ... ce-chicago

It's all good bro, I remember meeting you at PJ20 and thought you were a pretty cool dude. Heck, if memory serves me correctly I think I even shared some of my California kind with you during one of the tailgate sessions that weekend.

Ah yes, finally someone who gets it!! Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions, they are appreciated. The wife is very particular about who we leave our daughter with so I'm not sure if she would agree to a nanny service but its at least something to check out. I'm also toying around with the option of bringing our niece along with us so she can watch our daughter while we go to the show.

We mett ? really , like i said i came off like an ass i hope all your plans work out great and you and the wife & kid can have a fantastic weekend ...

thank god the full schilling is a over 21 establishment.

Anyone under 18 should be allowed in with an adult guardian, no?

Bringing your niece to watch her is a stellar idea!! Best idea yet!

Mamasan talked to the bar and because there will be so many people there for the party, they are not allowing anyone under 21 in...if it was a normal day then someone under 21 could probably get in with their parent

Damn sucks that your sitters bailed on you like that. If you can't find someone else to watch her at home for the weekend then I mean .... i guess it also depends on your hotel and the location. it doesn't seem like a huge deal to me to leave a 7 year old in the hotel by herself for a few hours. Make sure the hotel has cable and internet, have her bring some of her stuff to do, coloring books or homework or whatever. Maybe you can rent a Wii or something Is it obvious that I don't have kids?
i would say bring her with you to pick up 10c tickets maybe people will be acting stupid and she won't even want to go and of course make sure she's got a way of texting u and her mom during the show, like every hour on the hour to let u know she's ok.

Billy will be happy to keep her company

I'd love to bring my daughter, she's 8, a huge fan, but no way is she ready for a PJ show. She's seen Ed live a couple of times. The 2nd time the crowd was obnoxious, outdoor venue, but they were having a good time and I understand that. It really hindered the way I could enjoy the show because I was worried about her. My husband and I are flying in, we have GA. Would love to bring her just to see the city, but would require some sort of sitting service. Maybe we can go in on a "baby" sitting service at the hotel, this way the 2 would be together? Anyway, a thought. I'd like her to see and experience Chicago. We however have the option of leaving her home with the grandparents.
BTW, we did the old trick with the tickets at the Ed show and had no issues.

did you use the "kid trick" to get your photo with EV?

that seems to be a common tactic these days.

Hunger Strike

No that's really me and Ed. No tricks.

Our daughter LOVES to travel so she got super excited when we told her that she was going to come with us to Chicago after all. Obviously I want to share my favorite band with her so I thought I would try to figure out a way to make it work for Wrigley as that would really make her Chicago trip a memorable one for years to come. But you're right, I probably wouldn't enjoy the show as much only because I would be constantly worried about her and if she could see or not so it's probably best to not take her.

Maybe they'll finally announce a fall tour and they'll swing through the Bay Area and I can take her then.

So you already told her she was going with you and your wife to Chicago, and now you're pulling the rug out from under her and telling her she's not going now?

Geez! Welcome to life, full of heartache and disappointment!
