We're staying with family about 10 minutes away from the venue,
and bringing two of them with us.
(one of them a Buffett virgin!)

Looking forward to meeting some new faces.

I guess this means another year without a Meeting of The Mindless Bash at Alpine Valley Resort? :(
It's a shame... this annual event benefited Make-A-Wish and was always a fun time. Any particular reason for disolving it?

OK, it is two months to the concert, and for me that means two more months to continue healing!

Jimmy-don't you think Banana Republics as a final encore would make a great birthday present for me?

We are staying @ the Holiday Inn on Cicero. Does anyone know of a bus or other mode of transportation to the show other than the hotel shuttle?

not really......
and, if I was you, I would double check the hotel to make sure they have a shuttle.. most times the hotels don't do concerts even though they advertise shuttles to area events.

While that special deal with the Holiday Inn did say they will have a shuttle, I would also be concerned about timing, and what you do with all your tailgating stuff during the concert.

Don't know of another direct way to get there other than a couple of buses which would be a pain. You could also try a cab as it isn't that far away.

Our friend who is ill will not be able to make the trip, so our group has shrunk by two.
After looking at transportation in the greater Chicago area, we have found that an all day bus rental from Michigan is less expensive than a partial day rental in Illinois, so we might bus from here so chairs, coolers, canopies etc will have a ride to the venue, eliminating the hotel shuttle problem.
