That's the spirit

[GW in IA]

Damn! This crew just keeps looking better and better. Gonna be a thing.

Maybe a thing and a half. My tickets arrived and for some reason I bought two for Saturday, so if
anybody hears of someone looking, let me know. I must have been drunk or something.

[Tyler]

I wish, but no. Y'all have fun.

[Gaetzi]

Ahh, peer pressure, alive and well as a parent and an adult... And via an internet message board, none the less. I hate you guys! $300 round trip flights and I have a bunch of friends in Chicago.. The more I think about it, this is actually doable for me.

I know a guy who lives by the creed: "always go to the show"

That's pretty cheap. You won't regret it

[beantownbubba]

The more I think about it, I'm in.

Fixed that for ya.

[Bill in CT]

My tickets have arrived!

[Cubfan06]

It was my fantastic wife idea, since she was jonesing for a DBT show as much as I was. Beth will be going on Friday and I will be attending on Saturday.
The other will be hanging with a 2 month old on alternating nights. We are glad to get out and see some DBT.

Looking forward to it!

Amen to that, you only regret the shows you don't go to.

Officially in for Saturday!

[loopyhelsbells]

Have fun guys.. Due to my new position in work its impossible to get the time off...Boo.
We will be back over early next year for a tour this time yeah..

I am very excited to get a two night stand at a new venue for DBT (and me) in Chicago! I have only heard great things about Thalia Hall. I have also heard good things about the restaurant, Dusek's, and the bar, Punch House, that are in the same building.

For those coming from out of town, the venue is 2 miles east of the relatively new, gigantic Lagunitas brewery. There is a taproom with a small but solid food menu and of course many tasty beers. It's a short cheap Uber ride from the venue and highly recommended. Both the venue and the brewery are short walks from the Pink line on the CTA also.

While it might not be as good as you can find in the South, there is some pretty damn good BBQ practically next door to Thalia Hall called Honky Tonk BBQ.

Simone's is a decent funky/artsy bar that is a couple blocks away with some decent food too.

As someone said earlier in the thread don't go venturing too far off 18th street if you're without your wits. The neighborhood has come a long way but especially points south and west you wouldn't want to be drunk, alone, stumbling with your wallet and cell phone in your hands after the show.
Nothing to really worry about if you use common sense.

Can't wait for these two shows! Happy to have an appetizer down in STL in 2 weeks.

What about parking in the area? Any tips? From Google Maps it looks like all street parking.

[MrsUncleFrank23]

I just ordered tickets. Really looking forward to seeing all of you.

Well all right! This just keeps getting better!

[GW in IA]

It's hard for me to say. It hurts me to the core. But for once, I have to agree with Pornstache. This does just keep getting better!

[Mr. B]

Haven't been hanging around this board much this year, but definitely looking forward to seeing some familiar faces at the Chicago shows. Great venue, capacity of about 800, a lot smaller than the Vic. And I get to sleep in my own bed! Counting down the days to my first rawk shows of the year!

I have been expecting your return to the college football thread.
Look forward to seeing you and the Mrs. in Chicago.

What they said.

Mr. B, I think I owe you a beer from, like, 5 years ago. Or maybe you owe me one, i forget.

Street parking shouldn't be much of an issue within a 3-5 block radius of the venue.

Ha ha ha ha! Pornstache. That's great. Thankfully, he is without the pornstache at the moment, and I'm praying it will not return anytime soon.
