    Oh, it's gonna rain.
    I guarantee it's gonna rain.
    Of course it's gonna rain.
    Why wouldn't it rain.

    Hahaha
    Travelling 2000 miles to see Chicago for the first time. Of course it’s gonna rain 🤣 
    Other than the shows, any other plans while visiting this fine city?
    No concrete plans, just gonna go with the flow. Might go to a White Sox game. Gonna try to eat plenty of good food. 
    Oh there is plenty of good food here.
    And I've had 2 heart surgeries to prove it!
    Haha

    Best thing about the White Sox is, I am pretty sure they will pay YOU $20 to walk in that stadium. 
    Yeah other than standing in center field at Wrigley food is my priority. If you or @Vito have any recommendations I’m all ears🍴 
    Well, are you traveling solo?
    Family?
    What's everyone like? Pizza, burgers, hot dogs, beef sandwiches,  Italian, Mexican, Chinese? What are you looking for?

    Or all the above?

    After 3 nights of perfect weather for Metallica and 30 Seconds to Mars a couple weeks ago.  I knew the odds were good we may get something at one of these shows.  But maybe we will get lucky like N2 in 2018 and it will rain before show starts, hour delay and we still get our full show in.

    Spoken like a true Chicagoan. Will fly in the day of N1 and will pack a cheap poncho just in case. But promised myself I wouldn’t check the weather report for the exact same reasons you point out. Will enjoy the day no matter what.

    Forecast is looking better for both nights. 

    Weather.com is the only website that is predicting rain.

    for anyone planning to stand in line Tuesday:

    "Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values between 103 and 107 today and around 110 Tuesday expected."

    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."

    Reminds me of standing in line at the 2013 Wrigley show. That day was ridiculously hot. Stood in line for over two hours to get merchandise. But met a lot of very cool fans that day!  
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I was at the the 2013 show, on the field, evacuated, waited it out, then the most amazing show I've ever seen. Leaving Wrigley at 2:30am was the most surreal thing I've ever done. As a life-long Chicagoan, screw the weather, and whatever happens, happens. No matter what the show will be amazing!!
