BTMN Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 A friend I'm planning on staying with sent me these links....Here is the Excalibur nightclub (Largest in the City of Chicago) that we will be at: http://www.excaliburchicago.com/ Isn't Rick Nielsen part owner? : http://www.piecechicago.com/flash/index.html I have always wanted to go to this guitar store. : http://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/ This place looks like a lot of fun. You can buy a burger and a guitar in the same store!!! http://www.tommysguitars.com/Looking like I'm in by 10:30am local time Friday until Sunday morning. Brian's is northwest of Chicago about 1/2 way to Rockford. So how about a Friday music store crawl and some pizza at Piece?
elduave Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Redskins at Soldier Field that weekend. Good. I'm always looking for a stupid reason to do my acoustic version of Hail To The Redskins. I thought that might catch your attention, Dave. Depending on how many interceptions Jay Cutler has thrown by then, you may be able to score tickets cheap. I must have been in some mind funk 'cause I too thought the Skins where @ CHI this Sunday, but they're actually home vs Indy! This makes me feel much better. Kinda like when Scissor Sisters cancelled their MIN/STP gig on the night of the Golden Jam.

Damned good thing we didn't snag those tickets on StubHub a couple of weeks ago!
bruce919 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Can someone post the address of the event locations?

svl Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 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 parking ticket to the Cliff Dweller Club and they will validate it to get you a special $10 parking rate.
shredmeister Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 The entire event will most likely be filmed. Chris H. is working on that part as well! I better start working on my bikini lines.
BTMN Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I HATE/LOVE my J.O.B...... :angry: Once in a lifetime, so far, to meet Paul Hamer, and some of the cats from Hamer's beginning, hang out with some real good folks some for the first time, and I'm gonna be here in good ol' Tampa Bay pulling a 12 'ver and I dont mean a Hamer 12 String Bass. Life IS Good. I will at least get to go fishing Saturday morning while working. Ya'll raise one up for me and I will toast one to you about 9pm here, 8pm there if ya think about it, and then I will crank up some noise down here as I'm sure at that point there will be some HFC talent onstage up there getting it on.
cmatthes Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Quick word on dress code for the Cliff Dwellers Luncheon/Presentation on Saturday afternoon. Dress is CASUAL. Jeans are fine, but shorts, flip flops, sweats, fuzzy bunny slippers, wife beaters and gang colors are not. In other words, leave your "Jersey Shore" stuff at home!
DavidE Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Ok, so I couldn't make this event because I was told by the other 5 lawyers involved in depositions today and tomorrow (I'm new to the case) that we'd be going all day and probably wouldn't be done until 6 or 7pm tomorrow. So, today we go "all day" and we're done before 5. We're starting an hour earlier tomorrow and they now tell me that we may be done pretty early tomorrow. SO..... I could be there by 7 or 8pm tomorrow. I don't suppose there are any hotel rooms left....
cmatthes Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 SO..... I could be there by 7 or 8pm tomorrow. I don't suppose there are any hotel rooms left.... Worth checking Priceline... Just remember, there is no "Mustang Sally" allowed at the Jam.

shredmeister Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Tommys Guitars looks like a kick ass store.

Can i at least leave my fly open?

MCChris Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 SO..... I could be there by 7 or 8pm tomorrow. I don't suppose there are any hotel rooms left....Your best bet is to try something outside the city. Thundernotes and Haynie got rooms at the Hampton Inn in Munster, Indiana, the town where I live. Since you're coming from the east, this might make sense for you, as well as save you a few bucks.You'll have to call the hotel to find out if there are any rooms available, how much the rooms weigh, what their neck profiles are, and if the management would consider a trade for a Japanese Tele with gold hardware and a Fishman acoustic bridge.
