Is this related to the show? Because I can't make the show, but if you're talking random acts of chest painting or whatnot, it's something to consider.

Does anyone know how big this place is and how it compares to the Vic?

 

According to this, the main sanctuary can accommodate 1000 people:

I may not recognize you at the show due to a rare memory-loss condition that happens from time to time. Don't be offended.

Count me in at the $75 level. I got the ticket a couple of days ago. It'll be an early birthday present for me. #35 will be on August 12th. See you'll there.

We can't make this because of a family wedding. I'm sorry we'll be missing you!

No worries, looks like we'll have another chance when this big Chicago show is announced on Monday. I'm in Louisville now, so closer to your neck of the woods. Send Rob a hello.

Wow, that's a helluva lot of info on Chicago....

 

But nothing on a hotel close to this venue. Only thing I've come up with is Super 8. Would love any other suggestions but seems to be closet choice....and I'm not staying in the international youth hostel!
