Re: Who's going to Chicago, 6/29/2013?

I'm going to guess on what might happen: Tailgating/parking will be in the Soldier Field lots, and they might possibly run shuttles to the venue. It's going to be quite a hike if no shuttles due to the face you have to get to the other side of the harbor. I'm sure parking prices will be at a premin...

Totally agree. Non Chicagoans just don't get the city.

Re: Northerly Island, Chicago

i for one am very excited or the venue (and i live in Tinley Park 5 minutes from where he usually plays). I thought that the sound quality at Toyota was horrible (although the last year he played that the impromput acapella version of Tin Cup Chalice sounded pretty cool. :)) I plan to stay the nigh...

"The red, blue, orange keeps on because it's the CTA!!!!" so, park at O'Hare, and ride the Blue; park at Midway and ride the Orange; park at 95th and ride the Red. (transfer where you have to.) or here is an idea: head in early, and beat the traffic. adapt, overcome, survive. Yeah try tha...

Re: Northerly Island, Chicago

Not sure what else is scheduled for Chicago on June 29th but the Chicago White Sox have a home against The Cleveland Indians scheduled for that day with a 3:10 pm start time. This could cause serious traffic issues with Jimmy's show and pre-show tailgating. dude.. it's the Sox.. and the Indians. It...

Re: Chicago!!!

I just looked and Charter One Pavillion on Northerly Island only seats 7,500. I can't imagine he'd play there. Never would. Not much parking, and if you do, it will be probably at least $50 if not more. Remember its Chicago, they are looking to legally rape anyone they can. Also why play a venue wh...

Re: Alpine

For years, Indy / Alpine / Chicago closely spaced, not so much recently. But also for years, Jimmy would announce Chicago's Thursday show, tickets go on sale, then announce BOTH Alpine & Chicago's Saturday show, tickets go on sale same date. That was the only way to fill Thursday's seats. Now, ...

Re: Beginning of the end?

If you can make it to New Yuck City I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to this one. Saw one of the ones he did in Chicagoland a few years ago, and by far it was truly amazing. Tickets are priced fair for a full day of great music on a revolving stage so your not without music for more than usually 15 mi...

Re: Beginning of the end?

Pine Knob always sells out within minutes. For a mid week show. Anxiously awaiting the announcement of a Detroit show.... But Pine Knob is also a really really small venue. Went there once to see Heart, and was amazed on the size of the place. I sat in the pavilion and was really shocked that it di...

Re: Bring Back the Intermissions, Jimmy!!

I think if he wants to do an intermission, he needs to lower his ticket prices by around $25-30 a ticket. That 15-20 minutes he is "not working" does not constitute as a "union break"

Re: Alcohol soaked fruit ?

Depends on the fruit. I usually soak cherries for a min of 6 months before I will serve them, anything else and well its worthless. I have a batch right now that has just hit the 1 year mark. They have been soaked in Moonshine made in the mountains of Kentucky.

Yeah, but.....it's a Super 8. Anytime now, Jimmy & co....if it's going to be a June show, we'd like to know before May rolls around. I'd rather a September show. If he were to do that, I may consider going again. Main reason being.... Kids are back at school ( Grammer, High School, and College)...

There is a Super 8 in Mokena right down the street (191st) which is in a VERY SAFE area. You are right off I-80, and right across the street is a Denny's, White Castle, a nicer bar/restaurant (STONEY POINT) which also has an OTB for those who LOVE to watch Horses do what they do best.
