Such a sweet location, i am really excited.....PS there is a bar down the street called Sheffields that is pretty chill and has an outdoor beer garden!!!
door71
Damn...a Monday.

We'll be there though. Sheffields sounds cool.

I wish our drive was as short as yours AK.

We're probably 3 to 3 1/2 hours away.........depending on traffic.
-AK
Yeah, thats a haul. I'm about 30 minutes away.

Beware... parking in the area sucks big time.
door71
We plan on getting there between 6 and 6:30.

I always like to leave plenty of time for error.

d'oh! Tickets are a pain, but being towed is the worst.

I got to the area really early and snagged a spot on the street for the Cult show. I've been in the area since then and have had less luck with parking.

the ones ive been to there have all been doors open at 7, show starts 8-ish, but, like everywhere else, depends on the band
-AK
If you get there early in the afternoon, you're likely to hear the soundcheck from outside.

There is a backstage door that opens out into an alley right next to the theatre. When the band is soundchecking, you can hear things pretty clearly if you hang out in that alley.

When do tickets go on sale? It's a little over a month away.

Where can you park that is close?

Better change that arrival to between 5 and 5:30. Why not leave earlier from work.


I am not insane quoting myself.

Go anways.
reagan1099
Good advise, you wont regret it.
bakerychic
i'm kind of leaning that way. i have a feeling this is going to be a once in a lifetime thing and if i don't go i'll be kicking myself. i just don't like being in chicago at night by myself.
-AK
The area that the theatre is in is safe.

Although if you're a Sox fan, you could run into trouble.

Tickets are on the way.

See you there!!!

Too bad you can't make any of them.
Moorish Idol
The last time I saw D21C it was at the Congress in Chicago. Amazingly I got to stand right in front of the stage, five feet away from my Idol, the great Ray Manzarek, and I thought NOTHING could ever top that.

I've been saving for just this occasion. I went for the VIP seating.

YEAAHHH

Hope to see you guys there.

cool.gif
