Have to agree with Jen on this one. He is an addict in serious denial, and, with his addiction as out of control as it is, we can only hope he survives.

Keep in mind that most of this discussion, and the media attention is about a relatively small number of colleges--most colleges remain reasonably easy to get into; it is the highly competitive schools that get most of the attention. As for the comment made earlier about getting on the school or the...

I am a college counselor at a private high school in the Chicago area, and spent many years on the college side of things. so let me share a few thoughts. Applications at the country's most competitive schools continue to grow beyond all reason. In the mid-70s, Northwestern, for example, had 8,000 a...

She died of the same type of cancer as my father, at the same age as him as well.

An activist on AIDS when nobody else cared about what was then perceived as a "gay disease."

Sail on!

Edit, never mind, finally got in! I'm going to be sitting in Section 126, row 16 seat 7... not too bad considering...

and I keep pulling up section 102 which I won't do.

Matt, it may be you and me driving this thread again this year. At least I have 4 months to find a ticket for this concert!

Thanks that sounds like a pretty good deal. I ended up booking a room at Sleep Inn, it's in a complex of like 9 hotels. I called and talked to the lady at the front desk. They sounded pretty parrot-head friendly. She said last year their hotel shuttle took people to the concert and picked them up w...

I haven't checked yet, I'll probably do so when I get home tonight... but this time around I'm just looking to "get in" so any port in a storm.... Trust me, Dave, you wouldn't want the "port in a storm" that I have been pulling up all day. tried from 9:55-11:15 this morning, and...

I have been rejecting that section---have a friend who was in 133 last year (parallel section on the other side of the stage) and he could not see the stage at all.

So for the first time in my memory, I couldn't get a ticket in the lower level other than sections 133 or 102 so....

I need one ticket on the lower level.

Please PM me if you have a ticket that needs a good home!

looking like I will be going through the ticket exchange--needed one in the lower level (not field) and the only tickets I could pull up were 133 and 102, both with no view of the stage.

I just pulled up A5 row 10 for a single ticket, keep trying (if you want to pay that much)

actually looking in lower stands---the floor seating is just too tight and claustrophibic for me unless I have an aisle!

All I am getting (for single seats) is Sec 103 or 133, both with no view

Just spoke to Toyota Park Box Office: Premium spaces will be available at the same price as last year . . . $75. RV Parking is $200 for the day Lots will open at 8am. They will not allow the Parrot Dice Lounge to Reserve in Advance its normal Front Row Spaces - Bastards! They are opening an hour ea...

Didn't that information roll out a bit later last year?

two questions: does anyone have an idea about pricing of tickets? any suggestions on hotels near the stadium? thanks. we should know ticket prices by Friday when the newspaper ads will be in the papers. There is a group of hotels on Cicero, just south of Midway airport (about 8 motels, all sharing ...

Planning to be there. Got to work Monday out as I may be in a meeting when tickets go on sale
