frazman Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Dear all, I will be attending Lollapalooza in approx ten days and needless to say I am very excited as not only am I getting to see one of my favourite bands in their spiritual home, I am getting back to one of my favourite cities, Chicago. That is a big deal beacause as an Irishman living in London for the last four years, I don't get to visit very often. However, having spent a summer working in Chicago and living two blocks from Wrigley as a student nearly 7 years ago, I know how much the city rocks. However, this excitement has been tempered by the fact that my friend that I was due to be travelling with has had his plans destroyed by his inconsiderate f*ckhead employers who require him to stay in Ireland . This leaves me as a solo voyager for the weekend, something I am not altogether comfortable with. So I am hoping that some of the VC Chicago (and beyond) crew attending the festival might extend me a welcome and consider hanging out/having a brew or two with me over the course of the weekend. I would love to meet up with you guys and I have always wanted to meet you when I eventually made it back to Chicago. My quick blurb:James, 27 yrs old, Irish, living in London last 4 yrs, likes loads of music, sports (all the usua ones for a European - soccer etc, but unusually also likes baseball - big Cubs fan) - am attending the whole weekend and looking forward to seeing Wilco (obviously), My Morning Jacket, New Pornographers, The Frames, Flaming Lips, Ryan Adams, Sleater Kinney, Iron and Wine etc and of course, Chicago. Likes a beer , likes Chicago nightlife etc, and staying Northside for the weekend. Anyhoo, PM me if you are feeling charitable with your time, conversation etc or reply to all if you feel that this has the potential to snowball into a large scale meet up, Thanks for reading, James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frazman Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 I should add to this that as a result of my friend not being able to make this I have an extra ticket for the weekend that I am selling at face value or best offer, not greater than face. I know this perhaps should be in the marketplace, but my problem in the original message applies and I guess this is somewhat related, Thanks for reading James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
