How the hell do I even speculate "covering" a band!? BTW the band, JSP, will be starting at the Parrot-Dice Lounge at around Noon. They play party hits, Classic Rock, Blues and Current Hits. Dancing will likely happen spontaneously. They are a newer local band with members having played with national acts on Leno and the stages of Lollapolooza. They will grace the newly built PDL Stage.

So new THIS Year - a hula hoop Dancer complete with flaming things, an airbrush tattoo artist, and JSP

Returning for its 2nd year . . . Drink-O, our Larger Wheel of Chance, The Foam Pit with a Larger pit

Still there not willing to die - Me and Captain Andy.

Born at the last Tinley Show and still growing . . . Ugh . . .

How do you have time for a job and a family?

Like you, I am checking all the weather reports for Saturday!

These next 4 days of work will be HELL . . . Friday will be a Blitzkrieg War to get it all wrapped up and Saturday . . .

Saturday will be a little slice of heaven on a patch of sand in Bridgeview.
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.

I may have asked this question before...BUT...
Does anybody know which direction the seating count goes if you are looking at the stage? Is it 1 to the right and 2, 3, 4, etc. to the left?? Trying to figure where I am in the row with seat no. 25.
Thanks!!
I should know...this is my third JB show at this event. I guess the memory fades more every year or beer!

Last year, I had seat 1 in Section 1, and it was on the right aisle as you face the stage.

Section 1, as in section A1 on the floor? I am in A4 and want to know if I am closer to the center or the outside. With your answer, it seems I am closer to the center. Happy FINS!!!

I was in A1 Row 22, and I believe it was the last row of the section.

Just cancelled my Holiday Inn reservation in favor of the one I have at the Hampton Inn-same complex.

A couple of things:

If you look at the seating chart from the Toyota Park webpage and imagine you are facing the stage, the seat numbers go from left to right. So, if you were in A2, row 1, seat 1, your seat would be next to isle between sections A1 and A2. There are 28 seats in the row. This is according to a rep from the Toyota Park Box Office. We were in A2, row 1 last year with a fantastic view of the speakers and about 1/3 of the stage. Our seats were closer to A1 than A3 and we were pretty p*** about it.

Also, the wife and I are still looking for 2 in sections A2, A3, or A4. Help us people, help us!

I also need a guess of how many people with be in the caravan / tailgate. We need to know how much stuff to bring. We usually bring way too much and throw some away. We would like to cut back a bit this year.

See you guys soon!
