Chicago Theatre - Chicago, IL (June 9th, 10th, & 11th) Roll Call

[parkervb]

Just booked some accommodations, here's some info that may be helpful for you:

Was just able to book three nights at the Congress Plaza hotel (about 8 blocks from Chicago Theater, across from Grant Park) for $139 per night.  Used Priceline's express deals tab.  This was the price for one King, if you want 2 double beds it's $127 per night.  It was listed as a 2.5 star hotel in the Millennial Loop area for $127.

Was also able to find 72 hours of parking for $18 total with in/out privelages using SpotHero (THANKS!).  It's about a mile south of our hotel but we don't anticipate needing to make that walk very often.   There were closer options for about 45-60 total if you're not into walking.

surprised that more people aren't looking at AirBnB for accommodations.

Hey guys, I have a single GA Pit ticket for Wednesday, June 10th show. My buddy is backing out because the Blackhawks are playing that night. Selling for face value. Please PM me if interested. Thanks

Pm sent.

This will be my first MMJ concert (aside from Lolla '11), so I'm not sure which time I should get to the venue to make sure I get a poster. How voracious are MMJ fans when it comes to getting posters? If the show starts at 7:30, would I be okay getting there at 6:45? Thanks for the help!

At the time that i looked the prices were astronomical for downtown.  Some very cool places definitely but just not in my price range.

Anyone coming from the south can also catch the south rail line. http://www.nictd.com/

Free parking and plentiful at the Hammond station, $5.25 each way and stops at Northwest corner of Grant Park.(Millenium Station). Done it before and very convenient way to get into the city.

I had a great AirBnB booked for all three nights. I had to cancel because I am donating my liver to my mom in 3 weeks, I don't think she would want it after what I had planned for it those 3 nights! I'm still going to all 3... just drinking water....! A little bummed.. I had big plans for my sons first MMJ shows, but it beats the alternative!

Anyone else this would be a pretty epic way to start a show with the "wow" factor Jacket is going for?

Rollin' Back opener -->Friends Again ---> Ready to be called upon --> Big Decisions

(Had to mix in big decisions as they do flow well together and think new material should be sprinkled in)

i'm still trying to trick them into playing at dawn straight through so they're obligated to play just because i do.

What I think is that we take out he Waterfall tracks on nights 2 and 3, substitute B-Sides and EP material, then take out Circuital on night 3, plug in the waterfall, and sprinkle on some more B Sides and EP stuff and call it a day.
