Also, just talked to the Cliff Dwellers Club, here's the skinny on parking.

Park on Wabash & Jackson at the C&A Building- bring your ticket to the event and CDC will mark it to get you a special $10 parking rate.

 
Only problem is that we don't have tickets to the event!

Your parking ticket, the one you get from the garage when you park. Bring it to the Cliff Dwellers Club and THEY will validate it for the special rate.

At least that's what they said on the phone.

 
FYI...Just to avoid possible confusion, It's the "CNA Building" not C&A...although they sound the same when said

Hey, if we could put the rest together and can't find a suitable female vocalist I'll do my best at Chrissie falsetto, and I don't do that for just anyone. /emoticons/default_sad.png That's too good a song to pass up playing- the solo alone is worth the price of admission.

ahemmmm (major throat clearing) "Ki-i-i-id, my only..." /emoticons/default_laugh.png I think I can do this. I won't be playing this time out, so might as well sing!

Anybody with suggestions for a place to stay that isn't crazy expensive or far away? Too afraid to use Priceline because you never know where you'll end up. Made that mistake once. Never again.

Best I could come up with would cost $550 for two nights after taxes and parking. And that's IF there's really a room. Plus 6 hours in the car each way (at least)... gas... though my wife was going to go with me. Might just be too much to throw together at the last minute.

Carmie gave me good leads for hotels outside of the city, but on the north side by her.

Any ideas on places outside of downtown between Ohio and Chi-town? And places to park downtown near the action for reasonable prices? Looks like South on 90 .

For example, would Calumet City be a bad place to stay? (Ok, forget the Baymont Inn there. Horrible reviews).

Ok, I give up. Tried to find places outside the city for the last couple of hours and there was a hitch with every one.

I'm throwing in the towel.

HAVE FUN!

Be safe. Have a very cool time. Make some noise.

Carmie:

You are on! CM will lay bass (right, Chris?) and I'll do guitar. If we can get a rhythm guitarist on we'll be more than groovy, but could do it anyway.

Cal City is FAR away, south, near the Indiana border. North Side would be better.

 
It's ON!

Had a great time hanging and chatting with some of the HFC'ers who made it to Chicago for the event:

Elduave, MCChris, Thundernotes, Steve Haynie, Earachemyeye, BadgerDave, Shredmeister, Bloozguy Ray, Bubs_42 and HamStd.

I'm sure there will be some pics and updates tomorrow...

 
Hate I'm not there. Ya'll really should go have breakfast or lunch at Xoco, corner of Clark and Illinios.

 
I was fashionable late of course but made it to the top of the world last night. Of course everyone is great and things are just going to get better.
