Re: Who's Going to Chicago/Tinley Park June 27th, 2015?

I thought it was great!
I got to the venue at 2:30pm... the lots were to open at 2. There were no other cars going in the entrance I went in. None. I actually just stopped in the road to check my texts to see where friends were located, then continued in, without disturbing anyone. I tried to park in premier, but was told they weren't selling any more, just parking the people who pre purchased them. So I then drove farther back and merged with the line of cars that was heading in that end, and felt the 16-year olds directing traffic did a good enough job. There was ample space between rows for people to set up canopies, baggos, chairs, grills, tiki bars, etc. The groups on both sides of us were super friendly, as always, and navigating the lot was easy enough. It also seemed to me that it was quick and easy getting out of the lot after the show. So no problems or complaints with parking and tailgating.
I hate to admit it, but I was over served, which is extremely disappointing. I know I had fun, and I hope to God I wasn't too annoying to anyone. But it was my own personal episode of the Hangover. I was literally looking at the pictures on my phone, and laughing, because I don't remember much of it, and I don't understand what some of the pictures even are! Random people... no clue why I took their pictures. I woke up Sunday thinking how weird it was that he didn't play Fins! Then I saw a photo of it on my camera.
I can't wait to watch it, and can't wait to listen to it, even though it will probably make it sting even more that I was there, but don't remember. Sonny was on stage when I got to my seat, but I have no clue how many songs he played or what they were. I remember Blue Guitar. I remember Patrick Kane, which was WAY COOL, and knew it wasn't Boat Drunks (edit: HA! Boat DrInks of course), but didn't recall what song he came out for. I remember Nadirah doing her part in One Particular Harbour. I remember Banana Replublics, and sadly that's it. The rest is a blur.
But I give it a thumbs up anyway!
I saw Garry in the lot, and Dave and Janice inside, and I think that's it for BNers. Bummer to miss everyone, but there's always next time!
