advice... get along the fence line.. if you are in the middle of the lot they pack in like sardines...
good news is, they opened the lot EARLY (I wanna say 9-10?)....


ALL DAY PARTY! :D

They opened at 9 last year-I would think they will open later this time. Tons of garbage cans and porta johns set up-they are limited in the amount of space they have for cars, but generally handled the crowd really well. The staff in the lot were wonderful!

MOSES, SMELL THE ROSES! :o

I could end up going to more concerts than LARRY this year.

So WHY do I feel like VOMITING when I think of February 9th?

THere are also hotels south on 55 just off the highways at County Line Rd and Kingery Hwy (rte 83). Not sure how rates may or may not have changed at those. They are minutes down the highway 15 minutes or less.
The Parrot Dice Lounge kinda like a mirage. Here today and gone tomorrow. You should stop by and say hello when visiting Chicago on tour.

It's great that this is all getting set in motion before too many other parties get scheduled and the social calendar is full.

Matt or anyone else...I probably won't need as many tickets as the max allows, so I can pick up a few extra's for you!!

If you get extras let me know I may be able to pick some of them up from you. Being that we are staying in CHicago and not traveling to Alpine we will likely have a ton of people in tow. We've already grown by 4 or 6 from last year.
