    I keep going back and forth on the DP shuttle. I'm going with my sister, who doesn't drink, so she'll be able to drive both days and save us money.

    BUT it would be awesome to take a shuttle with a bunch of other PJ fans...I would be more interested in it if 1) we could drink on the bus and 2) the bus could park in the lot so we could tailgate a la Miller Park style...

    Yes I would love to know the policy of tailgating around the bus. Obviously they cannot have drunk fools going crazy the entire day- but a reasonable amount of drinking/hanging out seems fair.

    Most buses allow you to drink on the bus. I would imagine that the bus stays in the lot, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to tailgate outside of it.

    In the past when I have taken a bus to Alpine for a show, we had no trouble tailgating/drinking right by where all the buses park...

    This sounds like very sad attendance for this bus. Instead of a party, is it going to be five strangers looking around awkwardly?? :lol:

    Anybody know if the Chicago/Des Plaines shuttle are one and the same, just making two stops?

    5 stangers picked to ride in a bus.....

    i'm guessing there will be a bus in chicago, adn it will meet up with a second one at des plaines and they will drive up 294 together.

    No, staying at the Holiday in at 5615 N. Cumberland Avenue, so google maps tells me 5 mins by cab to go the 2 and a half miles!
    Think im near the blue line to head into Chicago aswell which will come in handy, im arriving on the thursday and plan on doing a bit of sight seeing in the city.

    Yeah, it is a quick 5-10 min cab ride to the pickup spot from where you are staying. You are right on the blue line too....that isn't far away at all from the holiday inn and takes you right downtown. Enjoy your stay!
