Hairball
Back in 2010 a friend and I stumbled in to Buddy Guys Blues Legends, and lo and behold upon entering there was the man himself!
While Buddy wasn't performing that night, he was manning the gift shop area meeting and greeting people as they entered.
I bought a cool t-shirt from Buddy, he happily signed it with a sharpie, and then posed for a picture with the biggest smile you can imagine!
Along with the Sears Tower, there is the towering 360 Chicago (aka the John Hancock Tower) with a tilting observation deck - not for the squeamish!
360 CHICAGO Observation Deck
"360 CHICAGO observation deck, located 1000 feet above the famed Magnificent Mile in the iconic John Hancock Building,
offers breathtaking 360 degrees views of the city skyline and Lake Michigan. 360 Chicago observation deck is also home of TILT –
Chicago’s highest thrill ride – an enclosed moving platform that literally tilts you out over Michigan Avenue from the 94th Floor".
You bastard Hairball!! Was this in January when he typically plays shows there? Can u post the pic? Jealous.

No reason to be jealous, it was just a casual meet and greet with the legend himself
And no, it was in September, and no he didn't play, and if I can find the pic I will post (have it on a flashdrive somewhere), and I will wear the shirt at the final Chicago Stones show if I attend.

The Beatles press conference in the mid sixties where they had to address the Beatle ban caused by their “The Beatles are more popular than god” statement was also held at the Palmer House.

Yeah, and the $125's in the 300 level have become $115. Ugh. Well, my ticket for Chi #2 is still better than what is available at those prices, but still, kinda frustrating. I will definitely be waiting before buying for Chicago #1.

Hey flood,
Pick up the phone and call Ticketmaster...
they might be able to exchange your ticket or give you a refund if you're nice.

Two questions - we're thinking of getting an Air B&B to save some $$$... a good idea?

Also - if we do go the hotel route - can you recommend any good, inexpensive ones?
Thanks!!!

Hey all! I'm hoping to book flight tickets this weekend for Chicago. No tickets bought yet, ugh, but waiting for that PRICE DROP and need to secure at least 1 pair of Pits as we're travelling from London, UK. Please, please, please! Can't pay the outrageous prices at the moment! Also hoping there'll be another round of Lucky Dips nearer the time, but not banking on it!

Makustone... thanks!!! And I would love to see the boys in Argentina!!!!!
Air B&B I think it's gotta be!! As there's 2 of us & unless we get a private room, not sure yet on the hostels point BUT I'm definitely with you on keeping the money spent on hotels to use on Pit tickets!!!!

Makustone, is that per person or each? Yeah, it will be a week, 6 days at the least. That's a good price! We're booking the flights today then will look into this plus air B&B. If we can get a hostel room together that's also fine, so that option is also still on the table. Will see what's out there.

I've already got our time reserved for that day, 2 pm. Did anyone go on the website and see that it is called the Black Roses Exhibit and that the name of the person who posted about it yesterday is TheBlackRose? He or she must be an IORRian. Or just joined to promote the exhibit (and possibly sell fotos). And I got the impression that it will largely be fotos from the No Filter tour. I have no problem with any of this, just noticed it and wonder if anyone else did.
