I asked people who went last year, but they weren't sure if they were available at the door or not, so I just sucked it up and paid it! :x

There is someone with 2 for sale on the exchange asking for $20 ea to cover fees.

More Tail Great Info

This is the first time a sanctioned event has been held at the HI. They are making large preperations for it. Just off the group list:


The Pilot House Crew is excited to release the much anticipated
details for Tail Great 2006! So save the date - Saturday, August 5
will be the day to party! And this will be *THE* party to be at!
Remember...there is no cover charge for this event!

Tail Great 2006 will be held at the Holiday Inn - 18501 South Harlem
Avenue in Tinley Park. Our very own South of Disorder Band will
perform from noon - approximately 4:00 pm. And they are primed to
rock the house, er parking lot!

Weather permitting, Tail Great will be held outside, so please feel
free to bring a folding or camp chair so that you can relax and enjoy
the sun!! And they have plenty of room for us indoors, just in case
the weather is less than favorable.

The Holiday Inn will set up a number of bars to serve up some great
cocktails. This will allow you more time to enjoy the party, and less
time standing in line. : ) We are still working on the day's drink
specials and hope to announce them within the next few days.

In addition, lots of food will be available - Hamburgers,
Cheeseburgers, and Chicken Sandwiches for $5.00 each, and Hot Dogs for
$4.00.

Since this will be such a HUGE party, we needed to bring some HUGE
purpose for the day!

Our friends from Special Olympics will be on hand to help with Rubber
Ducky Adoptions for the Derby which will run on Friday, August 25.
You *adopt* a numbered ducky, and then on the designated day, they
will all be released into the Chicago River. They will *race* down
the river to the finish line, and the first duck to cross the finish
line wins an exciting prize!

And of course, our club will be hosting a cash raffle! All proceeds
from the raffle will help to support the Alzheimer's Association,
Greater Illinois Chapter. We will need help from all of our club
members to sell raffle tickets throughout the day.

The invitation is open to all! Friends? Family? Someone you just met
at the mini mart? Bring 'em with! The event is open to the general
public....Because there is always room for more parrot heads!

More details will be announced shortly!

Hola fellow parrotheads. I was wondering about the tailgating at the Tinley Park show. I've been to 32 shows in my life and 2 already this year. However, this will be my first show of Jimmy's in Tinley Park (Driving 10 hours to get to the show). Will there be tailgating and if so where? Does the venue allow it? I can't wait for my third show of the summer!!! SEE YOU ALL THERE... Thanks For the help

"Technically" tailgating is illegal but it happens in full force :D

In my experience, it's about mid-level- you won't see the craziness of Alpine or Great Woods, but it's not as laid back as Indy or Blossom. Nissan's a little more of a party, I think, but you can definitely do some tailgating.
