bubs_42 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I'll be staying South of Chicago at Aloft then catching the train in from the airport. So much cheaper than staying downtown.
Cary Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 That might make sense. Aren't you down by Merrilville IN?Further west, closer to the state line.This is where those guys stayed:http://hamptoninn3.h....html?wt.srch=1Definitely something to think about - Thanks!
BTMN Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I stayed at a Hampton Inn near Midway sharing a room with Bubs. Couple blocks from the hotel we rode a train in from there and back to the Cliffdwellers deal Friday night but the Excaliber deal was a vehicle type affair. Much thanks to Bubs on that to the club and my friend Brian afterwards. With research I found it is possible to get near enough to Excaliber on the train but you have to switch lines coming from Midway.The Aloft I found was at O'hare. That is west of Chicago. Is that the one you mean? I would have to check train lines but I bet that is a doable mode to both events.
bubs_42 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I wouldn't be against staying there again. This Aloft is in Bolingbrook, the wife and I stayed there and trained into town for the Frampton Concert. Easy, Simple, Clean, and I just like there hotels. Ikea's next door among other things.
BTMN Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Ahh I did see that one listed but did not look at it fully. Train from Midway to there too I bet. HMMM.
bubs_42 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Yep. You should fly into Peoria and we could drive up together.

BadgerDave Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I'm clear and ready.Dave, I'll take Lolita's pillowbed.You have dibs on the guest room. Come a day early and we can work up something for the jam.
Hamer Dave Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Cool! Well, this will be my first. Finally meet some of you in person. I've a loft just down the street, but unfortunately, it's being rented out. You can walk to the dome room from 200 S Michigan, though it would be a pretty healthy walk. Maybe a mile and a half. Looking forward to it, better mark the calendar. Saturday, October 13th.

Hamer Dave Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Looking for any other bands for a mini-set?.... Maybe I could get my mates Lehman's Demons. I'm playing bass in this one. dave Edited to add... Or if anyone needs a bass (Chap 5'ver, and 12'ver), or guitar (too many Hamers to list) in a jam? Can help with harmonies too.
vicjoy1945 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 I think the last time I was at Excaliber was for a cast party for the film "Return of the Living Dead"...jeez that was 1985 !! Talk about scary !!!

I'm OK with mini-sets...just want to make sure that we generally limit it to no more than 3 songs per to make sure people get a chance to get up on stage.
