I have tickets for the Thursday show but I won't know for another few weeks if I'll be able to get the time off to make the trip.

Total of 6 of us are making the Thursday show. We will be coming down from Michigan to be there when the gates open. The party should start earlier ...... like at the Tweeter Center in Camden. The gates there open near noon.

We actually went to breakfast at Bananas, the restaurant at the Holiday Inn, that Saturday. The parking lot was filled with empty Corona Boxes!!!

He is pretty sure that the village will allow Tweeter Center to open the parking lot at 3 PM Thursday AND Saturday. He also mentioned that grilling is tolereated to some point.

SWEETNESS!!!!!!!

1987----your not gonna bring one of those Monster Grills I see in parking lots around town are you?????

If my dad lets me, I am gonna hook one up to my Taurus... by the way, we moved our website to www.grillinjs.com , you can rent them now!

All weekend

should re-phrase that---more then all weekend----- Wednesday Night/Thurday Morning til Sunday sometime

Where is the party Wednesday night at? We have to leave on Friday so we wont be able to party then, but we will be in around 10 pm Wednesday night and I am sure we will be up for drinking after the long drive

There is a restaurant/bar called Banana's at the Holiday Inn / Tinley Park, I would start there...

Also, for all the out-of-towners, I am putting a list together of area bars and restaurants. Being from the area and working in the entertainment industry, I frequent many of them and am curerntly checking on promos for the week, etc. As things pop up, I will post em.

Why not start up the road with a little Oak Park Ave Pub Crawl - Im always in the mood for a few pints of Guinness at my old waterin hole Teehans - well before they remodled the place.

Thanks for the info! You guys will have to let me know where these places are at. I know where the one at Holiday Inn is though.

Oak Park Ave is right near the Holiday Inn. You turn left onto 183rd from the parking lot----and not even a block is Oak Park Ave. And right at that corner is the famous Dendrinos. Open til 4am in the morning Not exactly a black tie bar, but if you need beer or booze---thats the place to get it.

Ahhh Oak Park Ave. Lets not forget about these great watering holes on Oak Park. Start at the North end and head South... Tinely Inn, Blue Iguana (live music on weekends), Teehans (Sir Gumby's old waterin hole), ED & Joe's, Bogarts (great steaks), JW Holsteins, Jim's Inn (never crowded gin mill), and end at Dendrinos (only bar in the area open till 4am).

And remember, there is also Windy City Campground.. PH's start ariving on Tuesday and the last of them are gone by Monday. If anyones is staying there, thats a party! Good luck getting into the campground if your not staying there. Helps to know someone staying there to get the entrance gate pass-code.

more to come....

My girlfriend and I are coming up for the Thursday night show -- any VPHC members headed there? Also, anyone coming up to Chicago from southern IL (Marion/C'dale) for this show that is looking to caravan or tailgate? Drop me a line! Looking forward to seeing all of my fellow Parrotheads at the show!

Fins up!!

OT-2! Another late nite spot that I happen to have closed more than once, just wanted to keep things close to the Tinley area in case someone wanted to park & do the crawl.

sirgumby, what part of town are from originally?

I thought I was the only person from New Lenox on this board! What a small world. At least I can talk to somebody about how boring this town is! And how we don't even have a real restaurant!

There's less than 60 days to go! Time for some excitment.
