Don't laugh at me...but do we need to know our 10C#? What do you guys do at the pre-party--just meet each other and hang?
I am asking for a reason, but I might need to save it for my "milestone" post. LOL
Nope.. you just need to show up, be friendly & approachable, introduce yourself around and have a great time!sgossard3 wrote:how early do people usually show up at the pre-party? this will be my first time doing the dorky jamily thing... ill hopefully be downtown by like 4-5:00... hope you fuckers are ready to PARTY!
We get people there before *we* even show up, so really it's whenever you feel like coming down!pj infinitum wrote:What is the parking situation in that area?
I would, and plan to, park at the parking lot right next to the Congress hotel. It's directly across the street from the Auditorium and 2 blocks from the partystargazer375 wrote:*waves*
I've been reading these boards on and off for a long time now but I'm delurking because I really want to meet some local fans and hang out before the Thursday show. (Can't make it to anything before the show on Friday.) I hope that's cool, and I know I suck for being a total newbie.
I can't wait for these shows. It's kind of driving me crazy.
No wayIt will be nice to meet you!

are you guys picking up your tickets before or after the pre-party? how long do you think the pre-party will go?
In Milwaukee the pickup window opened at 4:30. You can just walk over and back again because Kasey's is only 2-3 blocks away. The party will run until 7:00/7:30 ish

Go to the Piano Man on Clark & Grace and ask for Ticket Teddy. He'll hook you up with a fine seat at a fair price.0 -

Totally real. He has a beard and will either be on the corner or inside the bar. Just ask the bartender. Get there at least an hour before the first pitch.0 -

The Bears have a preseason game tomorrow at 7PM at Solider field, which is very close to the venue.....
That said consider
parking is going to be a super bitch and very expensive
there is going to 50,000+ extra people in the nieghborhood
bars packed, and drunks everywhere, after the show traffic is going to suck monkey balls (sorry ECM)
