Some plans are in the works for a pre-show gathering that might involve a MMJ memorabilia auction for charity.  Some Chicago-based folks did this a few years ago and got some participation from management.  Stay tuned...

Pearl Jam fans do something similar, pre-party fundraisers via the Wishlist Foundation. GREAT idea.

Thanks, I used to be on their board  :smiley: Thinking about organizing a pre-party for the Wednesday party. Rock Bottom, maybe? They're about a 10 minute walk away, and have an upstairs room that we might be able to use.

There aren't a lot of places close to the theater that have space to meet up with a big group of folks and aren't too stuffy/businessy  :beer:

I work for Sixpoint Brewery and am on a mission to book a pre-show for the 3 night run. I'll be sure there will be a nice price at wherever is booked. That said, I'm down for suggestions!

Edit: The parking next to the hotel is $39 per day with the hotel's discount. (Pretty bogus you have to pay for outside parking, but it appears to be the normal money grab for being downtown.)

You'll be paying for parking just about everywhere in Chicago. Even in residential neighborhoods there are deeded parking spaces.

Download and use Spot Hero when you come into town, in my experience lower prices than advertised in the same garages. 

Also play with the times you are booking for, sometimes I book for longer and get a cheaper rate.  Just make sure you can get your car out when you need to.

Just read this and am reviving the topic for anyone driving in. When I drove in for Lollapalooza a few years back before I moved here I found parking for 4 nights in a garage for $40 flat, and that's a total. You may have to do a bit of walking/CTA to your hotel, but any savings are good savings when you're budgeting a trip. Listen to the man, SpotHero or any equivalent will usually do you well if you put in a bit a time.

UPDATE!

I have just confirmed a pre-show 3 night feature of SIXPOINT BREWERY at Public House! This spot will feature 5 Sixpoint brews (4 taps and 1 can) and will have discount pricing for us MMJ fans! I mentioned the charity idea and we'll sort that out closer to go-time if possible. You can see the iconic Chicago Theatre sign from the bar!

they're asking for wow factor for the SCS.

let's try going all out and getting them to play at dawn straight through on night 3.
some get stoned, some get strange, sooner or later it all gets real.

That works for me.  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

How about trying to get OBH as an opener for one of the nights?   :beer:
