    One day away!!!

    I am arriving at OHare around 10:30, then taking the blue line down to the Hotel Allegro.

    I'll probably chill out or walk around a bit, then head over to the preparty!

    See you guys there!!!

    I've heard this about Friday as well...

    So I am getting into Chicago tonight from San Diego! I've got all day tomorrow before the show while my buddy works. Anyone going to Wrigley? I'll probably head over there myself if anyone would like to join. I assume i can just scalp some tickets...

    On Thursday, we will be raising money for the veterans in honor of Tomas Young, and on Friday the Wishlist Foundation will be the beneficiary so that we can continue to 100% support and host these fundraisers for the next tour :)

    but can someone tell me about the pre-parties?

    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!

    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! :D

    We get people there before *we* even show up, so really it's whenever you feel like coming down!

    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 party :)

    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 way :) It will be nice to meet you!

    excellent - i work until 5 - and ill have to pick my buddy up from ogilvie - but hopefully ill be able to swing by for at least a drink to meet you fine people!

    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



    Updated the RSVPs!

    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.

    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.

    Does anybody have advice as to meeting Eddie before this show?

    (Where he will enter, where the tour bus will be, etc.???????

    It will be amazing!
    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.

    i just realized!!!!!!!!!!!

    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 ;))

    Good Luck see you all there :D
