July 5, 2011 - Soldier Field - Chicago, IL

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I just booked a room at River Hotel for four nights! Now I just need to find somebody to use the second concert ticket I bought.

I'm sure you'll be able to find someone no problem. There are always people looking for extra tickets. Did you buy a GA ticket?

No, I bought the $30 tickets. I'd prefer to take a hot date!

I got a really good rate at the Travelodge for 4th of July weekend.

I got a room at River Hotel for $80/night from July 3 - July 7. Rooms looks small, but it will do.

To me, a hotel room is to sleep, shower and store your stuff.

So I asked a girl from Dayton, OH, who I've only met on the internet, if she'd like to meet me in Chicago for the show.

It's hard to talk anybody from around here to take the trip up to Chicago with me.

If she can't go, does anybody have any idea of how to find somebody that would be willing to... preferrably a female? I just want a friend for the evening, who could share the whole U2-experience with me.

Exactly!

I think we all prefer the concrete instead of hotel beds

I would actually prefer for the hotels in the area to set up beds for everyone outside in the GA line.

That would rock!!

I was looking at air matresses at WalMart yesterday

 

[lauramullen]

I can't bring an air matress. It is to hard to get on the airplane.

 

[romi]

^^ if you roll it up real tight you should be able to check it...

 

[Lila64]

My friends brought one to Hawaii for us

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I was just gonna roll it up and stick it in the box in my suitcase. I'm bringing two bags. One suitcase for clothes and stuff, and one big duffle bag for my air matress, sleeping bag, and foldup chair.

You're allowed two checked bags on airlines right? That's always been the case with all the flights I've taken.

pictures Laura trying to get inflated bed into overhead compartment.

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

Does anyone know the deal with checked bags and trains? Can you bring two?

 

[romi]

you can bring two or three, I think

 

[rosephile]

*pipes up meekly* I might prefer beds. XD

I brought pool floats to Boston last year and aside from slow leaks, they were very comfy to lie on for the hour or so between when they were finally blown-up and when the line condensed. They'll fit much more easily in suitcases and are cheap, if anyone cares to know.

Good to know

I was thinking of just bringing something like that

Good thing I have a whole 10 months to decide

I'm staying at the Travelodge.

I managed to get a room at the Travelodge for $54 a night at hotwire.

Awesome....a place to store my stuff....rest my head.....and have a shower. SWEET!

 

[lauramullen]

I booked through their site. I didn't want to take any chances if the tour got postponed again. I think it is $350.00 for the 3rd-6th and it is non pre pay.

Worst thought ever. But I'll never book anything non-refundable after what happened...

Bono, take care of yourself, you brat

before I visit anyone, I ask them to tell me outright if they think they will have any major back injuries.

But on the bright side, that made us still go to Montreal
