30 Days.

Will get a good work out before heading up to Chicago. My buddy and I arrive the night before, staying over in Indiana.

Wake up the day of show and take train into downtown. Hoping to meet up with some other friends and have some deep dish pizza. Head over to Full Shilling and have a cold one or two. Now head to Ten Club ticket booth and find out where the seats are and prepare for a great show.

Not sure of Saturday, but I'll have some loose plans.

4 of us are driving in and arriving late Thursday morning. We'll find somewhere to go when we get there. My friends want to hit the TK downtown for lunch or after checking into the hotel.

Checking in at the Hyatt on Wacker asap.

Spending the rest of the evening celebrating my birthday somewhere, hopefully meeting up with some other 10C members! My friend, Jack, should be at all of the bars!

Hitting some pre-parties Friday and attending an epic show Friday night! Hopefully partying and recapping the before mentioned epic show after it's over in Wrigleyville or back at the hotel.

Checking out Saturday & driving back home.


Can someone tell me how late the L runs on Friday night & if that Groupon deal for the $9 CTA pass is still available? Thanks in advance.


25 Days to go now (EST) !

Wife and I are taking the train from Detroit Friday morning. Check in downtown and then head over to Wrigleyville to check it out. Hanging out all day Saturday and then back to the D Saturday night. I'm sure she will want to do some shopping on saturday, we haven't been to Chicago in a couple of years. I definitely want to get some pizza.

Thursday - Get in to Midway at 2:30. Hanging out with some friends Thurs night. Probably do some drinking....probably.
Friday - Party it up pre-show at local bars. Buy mamasan23 an Old Style because I apparently "owe her". Go to the show, complain about my shitty seats but still rock out, bars afterwards, drink, have a good time, and drink some more.
Saturday - Wake up thinking "Damn it, I drank too much". Probably going out again Sat night.
Sunday - Drive to the parents and hang out with them for a couple days.

Can't wait!

Whoa whoa whoa. Old Style?!??!?!?!

That is a HUGE to do list for the city. Friday lines at the shed can be hours long. Don't underestimate how big Chicago is. I'd be happy with one of those adventures for a Friday.

I love ghost tours. We plan on going to one of the parties but....... Link? (if you don't mind).
