[SuiteMadameBlue]

Just an update - down to 2 venues in different Chicago suburbs.... one theater (seated) and one large bar/club (standing mainly).

And the line-up is really coming together....just have to hear back from most, but if they all are go....it will beat MRF1 easily.

Is one Rosemont Theatre and the other The Vic ?

If Matt comes up by you, Jim, I'm there any weekend of any month. Matt, Jim has a great pad and it's in the middle of fucking NOWHERE. We could sing, jam, shoot his guns, drink beer and there's not a motherfucker within miles of his property. Get stevew2 and his fucking boxed wine there, too.

Let's make this happen

You guys are SCARING ME!!! He's right though... I can do anything I want to out here. It's funny Dan mentioned guns, because we did bust out some 22's while he was here for some good old target practice. There aren't many houses you can go to and do that without the cops showing up! I love it out here, and the great thing... I live 15 minutes from the capitol city of S.C..

Don't worry, I get really fucked up but I don't fuck shit up, just make sure Dan doesn't bring Wayne.

Wayne has been placed on 3 years of travel probation. I talked to him yesterday and he's just about finished with traffic classes for his FOURTH DUI. He isn't going anywhere near Jim's house. Jim would shoot his fat ass and it would take all day to bury a hole for that fucker.

LOL, poor guy. I DVR'd that Jesse Ventura show Jim, is it whack?

[Ehwmatt]

Everyone? 2 people is everyone? No date change...

Now now, I count at least 4 people: myself, Ratgirl, YoungJRNY, and DrFU. I'm sure there are others

There were definitely some cheese factor involved, but overall... I thought it was a very interesting show! I've had a few questions about Sept 11th myself, and it was cool to see them asked on this show. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Get back to ya tonight... I think I missed the first 7-12 mins before your post reminded me to DVR it, so I hope I didn't miss too much good stuff at the start

I'm thinking either Joe's on Weed St. or the Double Door. Maybe even the Rialto Theatre in Joliet and perhaps Paramount Theatre in Aurora. Can't wait to find out where it will be.

Joe's is too small, I believe.

Crap - if that's actually a possibility I'll be really pissed that I can't come

Yeah, that'll help sell out the place!

Looked at Joe's - but won't be doing it there.

What are folks general thoughts on a General Admission show - standing only? (With facilities to eat and sit down next door...)

The VIP idea still stands, but obviously won't have a "best seat" element to it.

I think I may recognize the venue you're pondering.

I was going to make two guesses at it, actually (and both kind of work with this description, but one fits better) and I bet I'm spot on with one of them. But I won't make the guess on the board here since this is your deal. You'll tell us when you're ready. If it's the one I think, I believe I have a contact there. A perk of being in hospitality!

A standing event would be ok, I think. Personally I can't deal with standing only crowds very well, but the nice thing about it is you can get up and move or go outside or whatever. Many of those types of places have outdoor areas for the summertime, so that would be good too.

Thanks, wasn't sure if I'd missed a mention of them somewhere. Haven't heard a thing about them in years actually.

Went to a concert at House of Blues in Chicago, had a nice dinner and then stood for the show. I think there was a VIP section up on the balcony. General admission was on the floor. I thought that worked out pretty good

I'm fine with that idea, of course I am fine with any idea as long as good music is being played. I will be standing most of the time anyways.

yup--itz cool. we can make a muffin and a bottle of orange juice last all day!!! I think the peeps are Firefest were well aware of the Mr. A connection for us. no one challenged us. hehe

I dunno, drew--we are pretty hardcore about front row--all of us here--so there may be some Texas size throw downs and a few cans of whoop ash opened. 'specially if Gail and I are there and want the spot. I think a few went down in Orlando at HOB when JSS was with Journey. mwahahaha. (i'm kidding, k?)

my marching band has a parade that day but I've already begged off. AGirl'sGottaDoWhatShe'sGottaDo.

Neat. At least I'll know who to latch on to.
I'm small so I get squished pretty easily trying to score front spots.

[portland]

I will take second row.......I don't want any of that Texas smack down!!!!

House of Blues is very $$$$ to rent. So that is not an option.

Mel and I are lucky, we're short so our friends feel bad and HAVE to let us ahead. (at least they better feel bad!)

If that's the case....I am 5'1" so I want the front too.....

[S2M]

There is no male on this board shorter than myself....Dibs on front row!
