well, we've had a change of plans..............instead of 16, there are 2 of us. the rest of my family backed out yesterday - some due to very understandable and legitimate reasons, and some not.

anyway - my boyfriend mike and i will be there...........we're planning to make a long weekend of it and will probably enjoy not being tied down with 14 other people!!

we're going to head down early thursday morning and jump right in.........and might hit the cubs game on friday if we're not too hung over.

There are four of us coming from Nebraska. We have never been to a Buffett concert in Chicago. Looking for some advise on were the pre tailgating parties happen for the Thurs. concert. We couldn't get a hotel in Tinley Park so we have to drive from downtown Chicago. Hope to get some feedback.

if anyone needs hotel rooms for the show, let me know.........we have rooms for thursday night and friday night at the holiday inn in matteson. i'd be more than happy to call and transfer them in to your name/credit card number...........they're $93/night (government rate - since the people that were originally staying there worked for the fed!) i just need to know if you want a king with sofa pull out bed, or a room with 2 double beds.

24 days!!!

I'm not 100% I'll be attending Thursday yet. 8/26 is my oldest's birthday, so the only way I'm going is with keets in tow. However, they were complaining at the start of the Hilary Duff concert because everyone was standing.

I have an extra room at the Holiday Inn in Tinley Park I will not need...the reservation is for Wednesday and Thursday night. If anyone's still looking for a room in the area, send me a message and I'll transfer it to you.

We are looking to have a wastin away time at this concert. There are four of us coming. I'm the only one who has been to a JB concert and that was about 6 years ago at Sandstone. I want these guys to experience a good time, because I know how crazy it gets. Since I've never been to a JB concert in Chicago can you guys give me a heads up on where to go and were to park at the tweeter center for tailgating!!!

Fiins up!!!

easiest thing would be to go back and read the Thursday night and Saturday night threads-that will give you all the information you need!

Hey Sailing;

I work part time at Tweeter. Doesn't matter what gate you go in, either the main gate or the east gate, they will direct you to the west lots first and fill those up before they fill up the smaller east lots. normally the gates open at 4 PM for parking but sometimes for Jimmy they will open them at 3 if there are a lot of cars waiting....get there early and have fun!!

Depending on what Im working---I may be up for that pub crawl.

i don't think we'll be there until thursday morning - we plan on leaving home by 6am. we will be two tired parrotheads.

the other option is leaving after work on wednesday and heading to milwaukee to stay with friends. we have to figure that one out, though - not sure how they'd feel about us strolling in at 10:30pm.

we're parrothead orphans since the rest of the family ditched out - hopefully someone will take us under their wing in the parking lot! HA HA! get it? WING?!!

We are sixteen days away from a show here in the midwest and this thread is lost 3/4 of the way down the page! I think we could use some excitement!!! I am stoked. I am going to the PHlock at the Rockthe weekend of the 20th, and 21st of August and then it is off to see Jimmy 5 days after that on the 26th. Barely time to recover! I am soooooooo ready for the concert!!!

I work security at Tweeter in Tinley Park and I just find out that I will be working the lower aisle JUST IN FRONT OF THE STAGE!! how cool is that....

I have to keep an eye on all of you PH's. but I will be as close to Jimmy as I could probably hope for....!

Got an extra or 3?

j/k! Congrats! We'll look for you on the big screen, assuming we see you outside 1st and know who to look for!

No extras, sorry. I have been trying to either find out or set up a BN tailgate session, pub crawl, whatever for awhile. Would love to meet other BN'ers.

Tweeter always releases some tickets the day of the show at the box office. I think the box office opens at 2 or 3.

I actually realized I posted that a few days ago and decided to delete the post... But it's wierd that I can say "I know where you live... by a golf course!!!" No, I am not a psycho, I prefer loco.
