    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 ;)

    Awesome ideas regarding the beneficiaries... We're just waiting to hear if there is a specific charity that Ed is interested in here in Chicago - if there isn't one, we can vote it up which beneficiary to choose here on the thread. That cool w/everyone? :)

    cool cool....

    my 2 cents would to go with something local....

    Another possible option to put in a poll.....

    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.

    Ok... for anyone who wants to join in, we're gonna do a Pub Crawl this Thursday, 7/17 around 6:00PM to help determine the best location for the pre-party! All are very welcome to join :)

    Here's the list we'll work off of - but if anyone feels we should add/cross off the list, please do so. I'd like to narrow it down to 3-5 bars to visit for the evening.

    I think I'm also going to call them tomorrow or Monday and check capacity - that will also help narrow down our choices.


    Kasey's Tavern
    701 S Dearborn St, Chicago, IL - (312) 427-7992 - 0.2 mi SW

    Hackney's Printers' Row
    733 S Dearborn St, Chicago, IL - (312) 461-1116 - 0.2 mi SW

    Manhattan's Bar
    415 S Dearborn St, Chicago, IL - (312) 957-0460 - 0.2 mi S

    Exchequer Restaurant - more info »
    226 S Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL - (312) 939-5633 - 0.2 mi N

    Millers Pub
    134 S Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL - (312) 263-4988 - 0.3 mi N

    Bar Louie Inc-Dearborn Station - more info »
    47 W Polk St, Chicago, IL - (312) 347-0000 - 0.3 mi SW

    Elephant & Castle - more info »
    111 W Adams St, Chicago, IL - (312) 236-6656 - 0.4 mi NW

    Cactus Bar & Grill - more info »
    404 S Wells St, Chicago, IL - (312) 922-3830 - 0.4 mi W134




    We cross South Loop Club off the list as Jeannette said it was too small. Rock Bottom is too far away, and Cactus looks a bit far too.


    So who's in? :)

    i would cross millers pub of the list. used to go there alot. i cant imagine a party of even 20 in there. long and narrow. pretty much an eatery. hackneys, kaseys, bar louie all are right by each other so you could check those out pretty easily. cactus is not really that far so that might be worth a shot also. wish i could make it the 17th but i think im working at 10pm that night. good luck though. cant wait to meet all of you. were going to have a great time no matter where it ends up being.
