If I lived in Chicago...

...seeing as how there are two, that's right two, JB shows in Chicago this week, I just have to ask: is anyone going to both shows?

I live in Dallas, and we've never been blessed with two shows in the same week (please...hold the hostile responses that blast me for my lack of recognizing that some cities don't see JB ever), but I must say that if we did, I'd be there, right up close, for both of 'em.

we're from minnesota - i'd go to both shows but the ball and chain (aka boyfriend) wouldn't be up to it..........he's not a diehard like the people on this website!!

we'll be there thursday, though - pass me another drink!

we're coming down from Grand Rapids, MI for both shows for the second year in a row and will continue as long as he's doing them... this year though we've taken last years experience and planned a bit better and will have everything we'll need to be much more "comfortable" while we tailgate at both shows.

I'd be at both if

a) Thurs wasn't my daughter's bday
b) I wasn't going to Vegas

I don't have tix for either, but I may still go to both anyway

Not catching the Chicago shows....but will definitely be at both the Vegas shows and considering the San Diego show inbetween!

This is the first year I get to attend both shows! I can't wait! It's the first time the stars have aligned just right for both of us to have time off from work and great sitters for the 'keets (Thank you to my sister in law and 16 year old niece

)

Just do what AngelBeech did last year-slide in behind someone who has a ticket. Who says you need a ticket to get into the show?

Have been going to both shows for years, Thursday we always take our two kids now 16 and 19. Saturday we have a party at the house then limo over for the show with friends. This year we are also seeing Mac on Friday!

I'm not going to Chicago this year, but I did go to both Indy shows. I was one of of the few parrotheads I know that did that. I did go to both Chicago shows last year though.

it should be a good time, it almost feels like an investment after buying all the tickets in march or april...seemed like it would never get here, but it has...hopefully the rain gods will be kind to us

Going to both. Have been for the last 4 years. Going to only Sat fo a few years before that (plus out of town shows). This year and last I have taken Thu and Fri off of work too so I can fully enjoy the festivities

Yup, both shows... Like the other person said, "Jimmy, Cubs, Jimmy." Oh ya, I was at the Cubs game last night too.
