I'm catering a 200 person wedding south of Minneapolis on Saturday, but I'm thinking of Sunday just cause I'm not gonna get a chance otherwise. Cry me a fuckin river, right?
But still, I love Chicago! :phish:
Requested tickets to all three shows, hope to see you all there! Miss the Paug folks, it's been years.
Somehow I don't think my wife wants to do this for our anniversary.
Enjoy it, guys.

Yeah, that's the dilemma I'm having. The wife and I are on vacation for our anniversary from the 15th-23rd and we're still deciding what we want to do for that week. Going to Chitown for Phish really isn't her idea of a good anniversary vacation.

I don't think I've seen you since that Dr. Dog show we saw in the basement of The Murat.
I have family in Chicago....

From the livenation FAQ -
QuoteLive Nation Presale
If you have a Live Nation account you'll get email alerts about some upcoming Live Nation presales. You can use the same login info from your Ticketmaster acocunt to log into Live Nation. No account? Get yours now.
Need the Live Nation presale password? Use "party" or "magic".
There's also a LiveNation app presale. I assume if u use the app, you can pull tickets. The app hasn't worked for me for the last few days. Anyone else having issues with it?
Confirmed.

I wouldn't say that was easy, but I pulled 2 floor 3 day passes for the wife and me. Gonna hit it again tomorrow for friends. I'll take any extra floors after Paugers are taken care of.

i was a little skitched out because it said no tickets were available, but a pass was sitting there in my cart, which was weird.
i had to make doubly sure they weren't lawns.
Kinda bummed I still haven't seen a Northerly show. Won't be happening this year but I want to check that spot out.

I was on the floor all three last time I was there and it was tight. The weather sucks, but I enjoyed that venue.
Tickets arrived yesterday. Excitement level - Elevated.
I'm trying to make this happen. Just have to convince my friend who's going to Dayton to do this too
Put me as a "?"
I am rolling solo to this, I guess - staying at the Hilton right on Michigan across from the park because I had points to cover the room. That's unemployed priorities right there!
Is this Roll Call up to date? Anyone heard from GBL?
I am only going to 2 of these I think, to be fair to the wife.
Debating which night to skip.
As of now thinking saturday.

Owning a ladder is nothing to be ashamed of.

Things have been a little hectic as far as planning trips this summer, so this one has been on the back burner.
There is a chance I will make Saturday and Sunday, although I don't have tix. Will definitely be in CO at the end of summer

I haven't missed a Chicagoland show since the return in 2009 - and I'm pretty sure you've been there every time. You gotta make it down!

Got my plane tickets. I think I'll roll up to the lot and try my chances at dirt cheap lawns.
Do any of you Chi town residents have any suggestions for lodging? I was thinking airbnb and a taxi to and from. I'm not familiar, what places should I stay away from?
KOP comin in HOT. Also anyone still need a hotel room. I'm driving up from STL with a buddy and we still need a room.

i'd spend the extra money to stay closer and not have to deal with a taxi to and from. that's going to be a nightmare. basically, if you are a short walk to the venue you'll be fine. stay away from places that seem very very cheap. don't go too far south. don't go too far west. and the lake is on the east, so if you're going to be a taxi ride away, you want to go north. damn, this friggin' city.
The last place to get cheap is the show. Fuck the lawn at this place.
Never spent any time on that lawn. I remember people bitching how you cant see anything unless youre in the front row of the lawn. Rest of the lawn is all sight views of the back of bleachers. When I looked back from the floor I couldnt even tell there was a lawn back there, its like it sloped downhill from the floor.

I got an airbnb, Idk what the setup is but I can contact the guy to see how big the room is/other available options. It's like 20 blocks from the venue in Northern Chincatown really close to public transit. But if the room is big, you're welcome to stay.
I'm looking for Saturday Floors/Stands anything really. So I cant help you there.
Thanks man! I'll be in touch.
map of venue and surrounding parking lots.
Plans tomorrow? I should be checked into the hotel by about 2pm. I'm staying right by the park... Blackstone Hotel at the corner Balbo and Michigan.

I'll bring some limes for that water of yours!
during the summers i spend a ton of time outside. this last week or so in the chicago area has been absolute crap. like hot as balls with 95% humidity, damp, wet, storms..total crap. last night the blue sky started to appear and the humidity dropped a ton. it's actually cool in the house right now with the windows open. low 70s. i might even bring a hoodie tonight. and that is awesome!
yeah lawn supremely blows at this venue. though the sound isnt half bad. if i didnt already have a lawn ticket id upgrade.
i will be rolling up to the south lot around 6.
see you then.
same. ill hit you up tomorrow. :phish:
So, no free parking at soldier field? That blows.

Started a little iffy but this set it picking up. Solid Wolfman's, TAB song, and LxL. That TAB tune was a nice treat.
as i wake up in my own bed this morning and laugh out loud at all the thoughts that pop into my head, i am completely amazed at the shit that we continue to pull off. unbelievable!
It was good hanging out with these dudes. Also willie, aphineday, gbl' s buddy tait... I think that was it.
