    Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
    decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter
    he grew a beard.

    I am sorry, I should have been more specific. How about the Chicago charity that I am associated with? :)

    We got shut out for 10c night 2 tickets so if we get them through tm we (Amy and I) will be there on Friday. If anyone has an extra pair let me know. We would love to help out. Will let you know after Friday if we are going to make the trip from St. Paul. Wish us luck!!

    Terri


    Well no luck with tm either so we won't be making the trip unless by some miracle someone has a pair of night 2 tickets to sell us. I will help keep your thread on page one so people know about the parties. You all have a blast!!!

    EDIT! Well thanks to the folks on here who said tm still had tickets we got 2 tickets in restricted view, not together. Oh well at least we are in the building!!!!!!!! We will see you at the party and will try to bring some boots and other stuff to give away!!

    That's how I got mine. I actually called because I could get 3 tickets but not 2. That's f'ed up! I called and the guy couldn't explain why so I ended up getting 2 tickets in different sections, which sucks, but I am happy to be in the house!! Oh yea these were limited/ restricted view too but I don't see what would be in the way besides the ceiling!! LOL

    yeah I do not get the limited view thing... not to mention they are they same price......?

    But it might be that her are further back in the balcony that the lower rows stick out and make it hard to see.

    I have never been to that theater so i am not sure, I have been to the chicago theater which I image is similar and there are no bad seat in the chicago....

    anyway that was off subject back to the party ;)

    if your doing the crawl on 17th you might want to add BAR LOUIE to the list to check out. the food is awesome (ckn ceaser sndw best sndw ive ever had) i think they have happy hour specials that would work for our time frame. cant remember if it is big enough though. its about 3 or 4 blocks from venue. when checking out bars remember to look for a juke box so we can keep pj/ed music playing. most of the bars that serve food usualy let people in under 21(not always though) so thats another thing to keep in mind. im from chicago and went to sd 1n2,this solo tour is like pj desert something really special for real fans. im soooooo pumped. going to milw tc tics, chi 1 tc tics, chi 2 tict bastrd tics. expctn something special 4 last show also(he didnt disapt sd2 last show of west coast). went to my 1st n 2nd pre prtys in wst plm beach n tampa. what n awesome time. im so glad we did. count me in for prtys 1 n 2 here. one last thing to keep in mind is the size of bar as you may be lookn at more than 40. just trying to help. p.s to the people workn on setting this up its so cool of you to help out others.
