Isn't there a back way in via 167th west to something . . . it's a left hand turn but the back way into Tweeter/World/Midwest Bank Ampitheatre?

All roads lead to the World Music Theatre. Other main one is RIDGELAND

Venue sits at 191st and Harlem...
You might be able to take Oak Park Avenue back and around, but I would take Rt 30 to Harlem turn right to 191st....

I'll be buzzed by 11 that day so I won't be driving . . . just as long as I get there . . . .

I'll be pacing myself. I won't start to drink heavily till the Tinley parking lot let's us in. Plus, I've got to make it the whole week. hahha I just need everyone else to remind me to pace myself at Tinley.

That was 1pm last year I believe. 6-7 hours of good healthy drinking with 40,000 phriends. I'll have a few in me by then but not drunk. Drunk and passed out is what got me to Vegas when my wife went that route last year. I can only imagine what my wife would tax me for the inconvienence.

Congrats on the baby. I was pregant a couple years ago with twins at the Wrigley concert! NO way was I going to miss Jimmy at Wrigley even if I was 7 months pregnant with twins.

My shirt had "parakeets on board" Twins to the left, twins to the right.

I was exhausted by the end of the day, and sober, but it was well worth it. Thank God I will not be having any more kids.

Pacing is good. I want to remember the concert and enjoy the music, but a few cocktails help that along too.

Yeah not sure how the wife is going to hold up. . . It will be 1 month after but it's anyones guess. I know she won't be drinking unless of course we are allowing the baby to sample margarita's and Landshark from "the Tap" the next morning. He'd probably sleep well though.

ANyone ever recall seeing a booze volcano at a tailgate? I'm wondering if it can be done and how.

i don't know if i've ever seen a volcano that shot out the nectar of the gods, but a few years beack we had a huge volcano that erupted confetti and stuff like that every hour... it was pretty sweet.... don''t ask how they did it - i have no idea!

I'm thinking cheapy water pump and cheapy booze. As for the Volcano . . . Safety cone (prolly be stolen) coated in a waterproof spray foam painted and sitting in a small pool.

Concerns: Pumping alcohol through a pump and getting it to fountain slightly above the top of the volcano for dispension purposes. As for the booze Margarita on the rocks? Cheap Tequila?

Don't fail me now Tinley Parkers! I am at work and float through here all day we need to post post post

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we're slipping!

Chicago cell phone list

If you want to be on the list, send me a PM with your name & number.
I'll send the list back out to everybody about a week before the show.
I'll also try to post a reminder every week or two, more often as the show gets closer.

Everybody's on the Phone...

Actually I can multi-task pretty well. My job consists of alot of phone calls and interviews. I can type while doing both. Keeping a focused train of thought - not likely but that's my problem to deal with.
