Just went to the Hyatt Regency Site http://chicagoregency.hyatt.com/hyatt/h ... /index.jsp
Big Bar looks pretty sweet from what I can see. I wonder what it would take to get the VIP room reserved. Holds 75 people.
Anyone interested????[/quote]
Looks pricey. We need a huge dive bar. [/quote]
Yeah, just looking at some reviews and it does look expensive, one review said 10-14 dollars for a mixed drink. I know prices in the city are more expensive then I am used to but damn.
I can't believe there's 87 people staying there! Has anyone looked into what the hotel bar is like? We could easily have an after party there!
I love a good hotel bar.
Unless we can find somewhere nearby with karaoke...
I'm always down for a good karaoke place...hopefully we can figure out some good places to go in the area...There's gotta be something cheaper than the hotel bar...

I'm not sure whether or not that's a good thing...

Great idea! We should reserve a bar somewhere. 87 rooms and counting....what's that, 200+ people so far? Pitch in $5/person to reserve something?? Anyone from Chicago who knows the area??

ps... i must say... i had a horrible, horrible day... and this is the first thing that made me smile and forget about the weight of the day... thanks angie xoxo
I stayed there last October for a work conference. Very nice hotel, great location. You'll enjoy it. It is a nice place to stay, especially if it is your first time there. Try to catch a Cubs game if they are in town. Just have to catch the Red Line at State.

The bars are great in Chicago. Rush and Division is a must stop. The Red Headed Piano Bar is great also.

I agree its pricey but, Its a short crawl back to the room for us who may get blacked out...

that's hilarious!
Oh that's not even the half of it... we took that place over until bar close and sang every PJ song in their book.. including Hunger Strike and Yellow Ledbetter ("there are words?! what?! i'm singing the live version..."

Rush and Division would most likely be the closest "cheaper" place to congregate. There's a bunch of college type bars in that area. It wouldn't be a very expensive cab ride either from the hotel.
I think we need to come to a consensus as to whether or not people want to just hang out at the hotel bar after, or if they want to find someplace else. Personally, I'd take the hit of paying $6 for a Bud Light if it means I can just stumble over to an elevator afterward. You have to figure that the show probably won't end until like 11:30 anyway? By the time you get out of the UC and get moving towards another bar downtown, it's gonna be after midnight anyway. Doesn't seem worth the hassle to cab it someplace else and be out for only another 2 hours. Hell, if we're not really loud, it would be fun just to fill a tub full of ice and beer and hang out in people's rooms even.
I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind - E.V.

Don't forget Chicago has bars that stay open until 4am...maybe a local can suggest something from this list (or somewhere else) that is convenient from the Hotel and the UC.
Got the Hyatt for $60/night from Friday-->Monday. Thanks for passing along the amazing deal!..cant wait for the show! Flying in from CT for a great weekend. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
PS. My forum account got messed up during the merge a while back, so that is why it shows InsideJobTodayOld instead of InsideJobToday. Ten club is working on it though.
It's been about three days now since I've been aground.

I LOVE this idea. People with an open door policy. Everybody that is open to people just stopping by and hanging out, just leave your door open. I would love to just hang out with unfamiliar faces.
So now I'm drivin the bus- Kramer
You're batman!- George
Yeah...yeah...I AM batman!!- Kramer
first post updated! 95 people!!! c'mon...5 more!! and I thought 50 was amazing...pfffffff!
a side note about the list...it's just a list of people's board names who are confirmed to be in the house. Some of those are rooming together, others are bringing several people along, so god only knows how many actual rooms/people we've got going on there, but either way it's fucking impressive!

That would be hilarious! The hotel would wonder if they are under construction. Thanks for the laugh!
