Found it.

I actually have a screen grab of the conversation she had with Klipsch, but there's no way to upload it here.

A friend of mine sent me this today:

Klipsch: "Hi Lisa. We wish we were part of his tour, but unfortunately we weren't chosen. Let's hope he misses Indy enough to come bak [sic] next year. We are one of his favorite venues. Fingers crossed for next year!"

Sorry, Indy parrotheads.

No offense, but I'd take Nighthawk's warnings with a grain of salt, and a lime, and tequila. He always sounds like the "we're doomed... we'll never make it" guy in the Chicago concert threads, but everyone seems to manage to have a great time, whether they venture to the city / Navy Pier,...

A few years ago there was a Buffett cover band playing @ the Margaritaville on Navy Pier and another one further down the pier @ the beer garden, but that was when the show was @ Northerly Island. It's always best to do a night or 3 downtown before the show. That is a good hour + now from Tinley. M...

I would highly recommend NOT stopping in any bar in the village of Matteson. Its actually pronounced Mat-a-son do not call it mattson. Just can get a lil shady. If you are going to drink, I would recommend drinking anywhere west of Oak Park Ave. Yeah, but everyone says "Matt-sin," so it's...

Different, how? Would you recommend staying at La Quinta in Tinley Park instead?? Some areas not safe. I've stayed in the Hampton Inn many times. It's fine over there, and they have an absolutely wonderful staff. However, they are out of rooms that weekend... at least the last time I looked. Mattes...

If you plan on going anywhere at nighttime, around the mall.... Try to have at least one sober person with you, for the reason also being, that that area is not the safest anymore. Yeah, this. Matteson can be a culture shock if you're not prepared for it. Not bad, just different. Just know what to ...

We were pre-partying @ the Odyssey Sweet Spot. They are about to let us in early but the 1st storm came through. We waited the storm out and then they let us in. Another storm rolled through like an hour before the show and that's when we were playing in the rain while everyone else huddled under t...

I wouldn't get my hopes up, last year was supposed to open up around 2 or so it seems, and they were ready to let us all in early but then a storm rolled through and we had to wait it out. Ended up staying the tailgate right around the 2 or 3:00 mark they said it would start. Although it would be a...

Does anyone know why only certain Buffett albums are available on Spotify? It's sort of a donut, with a lot of good older stuff, and some of his very newest. There are some glaring omissions: "Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays," "Meet Me in Margaritaville," etc. Anyone know the b...

Got rooms at the Hampton Tinley! Stoked and ready to go!

Can anyone point me to a list of rules, etc. for Tinley? I heard that charcoal grills are not allowed, etc. Thanks!

Concur. I love JB, but seriously as long as there's a dollar to be made, he'll be wheeled onstage with a guitar if necessary.

Got my lawn seats. Can't wait!

Might as well start it! No Northerly Island! WOOHOO!!!!!

What's with the hatred for Tinley Park on this board? Since Toyota Park is more than likely out of the question those of us looking to attend a Chicago show will likely be presented with two options. First Midwest Bank Amphitheater (Tinley), or First Merit Bank Pavilion (Northerly Island). I am a b...

The problem is, is that there isn't a "perfect" venue to be in. Toyota has good sightlines, nice staff, good sound, but the tailgating is ok, (depends which car you are, the front car or the rear) Tinley has tons of space but with the no tailgating issue, mediocre sound and staff that's w...

Completely agreed. It was awful on many levels.
