DavidE Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 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.
DavidE Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 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!
specialk Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 To everyone going: Be safe. Have a very cool time. Make some noise. Remember, pics or it didn't happen.
svl Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 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. 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..." I think I can do this. I won't be playing this time out, so might as well sing! Carmie 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. Carmie gave me good leads for hotels outside of the city, but on the north side by her.
