I don't want to miss Annuals, but it looks like it. She-it. So who is down to meet by that playstation place next to the citi stage during or after The Black Angels set?

I recommend this if you like specialty brews and you have any time away from the Rock and Roll Extravaganza.  Great food and the best selection of brewed beers I have ever seen.

This is  also a Chicago Landmark, made famous by Saturday night live skit.

Also, don't you miss out on a chi-town hot dawg w. everything on it!  :)

Everything but Ketchup  ;) the hot dog vendors frown upon ketchup, I guess it's not a chicago style dog if you put ketchup on it.  I  made that mistake once and the guy went soup nazi on me  :).

I think I'm going to check out Lupe Fiasco if all goes as planned or I don't change my mind.I will be pushing towards the front all day long at that stage.

I'm right there with ya, I hope your a BIG dude.  That would mean less pushing for me  :).
I'm  thinking about having a Catheter  inserted so I can pee in a bag all day long so I don't lose my hard earned spot.  
It's gonna be frickin HOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! on Sunday.  I might have to wear my tube top  :)

[fitzcarraldo]

Yeah SR, I think that might be a better idea for placements sake. My pals band is playing at 12 30, then thinking about heading over to A t and t.

[fitzcarraldo]

The Dap Kings are Amy Winehouse's backing band. 2:15 Sunday, at the other side of the park.  Hmmmm. This is getting tough.

[Taterbug]

Did anyone score tickets to the Pearl jam show aug 2nd at the Vic theater ?

[Taterbug]

This is what I look like.  This was taken at my 40th birthday party. I will probably be wearing that same shirt minus the flashing red lips.


I moved my picture to member pics.

I'm average but I'm pretty pushy. :) the trick is to just start walking forward and just keep repeating the phrases "excuse me" and "Sorry man". I guess people think you are on a mission  or something cos I've never had to many problems but then again I've never been to a huge festival either. If there's alot of us we will just look scary and hope that there is truly safety in numbers. Plus there is an hour between shows so I think we will be cool but you never know.

eyes on the prize, murph!   [smiley=beer.gif]

[fitzcarraldo]

mj sr miss y Watch out, I got your number.




Your cell number that is. 'Excuse me, Coming through' .
Damn, that Lupe Fiasco has over a half million friends on myspaces. Looks like crazayness.  Sounds pretty good :)  Yeah safety in numbers! More people, more space.

Tried like crazy and got shut out.  You get them?  If so, need a +1?  Shameless plea, I know.

So I'm thinking of having a BBQ for all the forum members who are making the trip, that are not staying downtown. Because if you are already down there, you won't wanna come out to the burbs just to eat.

Ya think it's a good idea? Anyone interested?

Hoffman Estates/Schaumburg area of Illinois. NW Subs, about 45 minutes from Downtown.....on a good traffic day.....

Lemme know,

-MJ

What day are you having the bbq if it's still on? I will be staying at the Marriott by O'Hare airport. Think I should make the trip? Is there any public trans. that would be cheap? I would love to make it.

[Jernigan]

I'll be doing it on Friday and Saturday if all goes well. Trying to arrange
a card game for Friday night, and Saturday is pretty open.

I work near O'Hare, and am dropping off some friends from Detroit who
are staying downtown for that night, off at the L station right past O'Hare.

My place is about 20 minutes from the airport.

Send me a PM, and I'll give you the address, and number to my crib!

Bummer,  No I did NOT get any tickets,  I can understand why nobody wants to part with them.  I guess I will have to settle with only seeing them on sunday.

I'm off work on friday, I may hit you on the hip and stop by friday nite, I am a TERRIBLE card player, I assume your playing hold'em, I hold the record for fastest exit from a game, 8 minutes.  My poker face must suck.
