Isn't there a back way in via 167th west to something . . . it's a left hand turn but the back way into Tweeter/World/Midwest Bank Ampitheatre?
The Parrot Dice Lounge kinda like a mirage. Here today and gone tomorrow. You should stop by and say hello when visiting Chicago on tour.

Venue sits at 191st and Harlem...
You might be able to take Oak Park Avenue back and around, but I would take Rt 30 to Harlem turn right to 191st....

That was 1pm last year I believe. 6-7 hours of good healthy drinking with 40,000 phriends. I'll have a few in me by then but not drunk. Drunk and passed out is what got me to Vegas when my wife went that route last year. I can only imagine what my wife would tax me for the inconvienence.

Congrats on the baby. I was pregant a couple years ago with twins at the Wrigley concert! NO way was I going to miss Jimmy at Wrigley even if I was 7 months pregnant with twins.

My shirt had "parakeets on board" Twins to the left, twins to the right.

I was exhausted by the end of the day, and sober, but it was well worth it. Thank God I will not be having any more kids.

Pacing is good. I want to remember the concert and enjoy the music, but a few cocktails help that along too.

Yeah not sure how the wife is going to hold up. . . It will be 1 month after but it's anyones guess. I know she won't be drinking unless of course we are allowing the baby to sample margarita's and Landshark from "the Tap" the next morning. He'd probably sleep well though.

I'm thinking cheapy water pump and cheapy booze. As for the Volcano . . . Safety cone (prolly be stolen) coated in a waterproof spray foam painted and sitting in a small pool.

Concerns: Pumping alcohol through a pump and getting it to fountain slightly above the top of the volcano for dispension purposes. As for the booze Margarita on the rocks? Cheap Tequila?

Chicago cell phone list

If you want to be on the list, send me a PM with your name & number.
I'll send the list back out to everybody about a week before the show.
I'll also try to post a reminder every week or two, more often as the show gets closer.

Actually I can multi-task pretty well. My job consists of alot of phone calls and interviews. I can type while doing both. Keeping a focused train of thought - not likely but that's my problem to deal with.
