Guys, if anyone needs GAs to either show, they dropped a bit ago, and I just pulled up pairs to both nights.

[I Move in Mysterious Ways]

Looks like TONS of GA's for Chicago 1. I put in 50 just to see what would happen, and the confirmation page said I could buy 50 GA's . . . I didn't, needless to say.

WTF. They sold out in seconds in March...Note to self...Live Nation spelled backwards = EVIL NOITAN. You see that....they are NOITANS!

Guys, I'm sitting in my hotel room at Travelodge. Had to park at the Grant Park/Van Buren St garage. It's just a few blocks from the hotel. I'm a little uneasy about walking from the 146 bustop to the garage though... anyone familiar with it? safe enough?

Stopped by SF and couldn't find a soul except for dock workers unloading concessions and equipment. Where is everyone? Is it worth coming back over for the sound check? Anyone out there at the TL also?

 

[CloserToKnowing]

Saw someone post about the Shedd Aquarium lot. When does it open? How long can I stay parked there? Just wondering if I would have to move it after the 1st show and come back.

Kind of creepy being here alone

I would call them.

Did talk to a local that got tickets for Sunday. He said he was at the sound check last night. The band came out together but didn't stop to mingle or chat.

 

[CloserToKnowing]

They only have someone live there until 4pm. The website does say 6am though. Assuming it would have to be moved by 12 or 1am. That would be steep for two nights - - $90. Something to keep in mind for Sunday I guess.

Yes that area is fine for miles. Literally miles.

That's pretty cool. But, by looking at it, it seems the old Soldier Field would be more conducive to this stage. This stadium is designed to be high to get you close to the action on a football game. It looks kind of crowded in there. No room to breathe, so to speak.

No, as far as I know not yet. You can set one up real quickly and then we can flock like sheep!

 

[Moser]

Just a couple of minutes...man I hate these waits lol.

 

[sdunn]

No, as far as I know not yet. You can set one up real quickly and then we can flock like sheep!

But I like it right here!

I'll listen to the interview to help cheer me up. My check engine light came on a week before I have to drive to Foxboro

 

[sdunn]

Aw! I just got goosebumps when Bono said he had tears streaming down his face.
