All right now that Alpine is done, time to start planning for Chicago.
As of now I am sitting in the lawn (unless I can score tickets in the pavillion), staying at the Days Inn in Harvey (unless rooms become available in Tinley Park). Will be doing the Mac show Friday night.
For a meeting place how about the Holiday Inn in Tinley Park? It is only 1 mile from the venue and there are lots of people in the parking lot that get the party started early.

Do not lock and load us yet, but I have been informed since y'all were so nice to Mrs Bear, every attempt will be made for a repeat performance.

Thanks for the tip. I think I decided to fly it after that long ass road trip.Coconuts wrote:Hey Kev, if you're booking, Northwest is cheaper than Southwest for equally good flight times. Actually, it looks like everybody's cheaper than SW.

Im thinking we should meet someplace at the venue. Because I know me and my phlock will not be stopping at the Holiday Inn. Plus we know everyone is going to be there tailgating.Hoosier PH wrote:All right now that Alpine is done, time to start planning for Chicago.

Markham Comfort Inn
I was thinking about staying here. Anyone ever been there before. Getting kinda late for reservations and I might have to settle for something further away.
Just an early warning (and we will certainly have updates pre concert.)
For those who will not be staying out there Friday night-----both the Dan Ryan Expressway and the Tri-State Tollway are under construction.
You MUST allow extra time to get down there this year (I just got home from the Springsteen show so the road conditions are on my mind). I normally take the Ryan-57-80 and today took the Tri-state, but also ran into some constuction on it, with the huge number of trucks being the biggest problem.
That being said---I can't wait for the Buffett show!
