Elixir Sue Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ooh, thanks! I might just do that. Wait, is that one way?No, round trip! I got mine on American, but there were some United flights popping up on kayak.com for the same price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j4lackey Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thanks, ELiz. Gonna check it out right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 No, round trip! I got mine on American, but there were some United flights popping up on kayak.com for the same price. Havent checked personally, but it might even be cheaper to take Southwest out of Louisville. Usually I can get round trips for about $79-$89 from Chicago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yeah, they do have great deals, but I've found that in order to get Southwest's cheap fares you usually need to buy them pretty far in advance. I just checked their site and for the same days (17th - 19th) it's $127 each way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest zacincceo Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 7 AM flight out of boston tomorrow so psyched!!! anyone have the scoop on posters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drinky Crow Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You should go see Rhett Miller and the Serial Lady Killers at Park West on Friday night and Liam Finn and Eliza Jane Barnes at Schuba's on Saturday night. Liam Finn is actually playing at Lincoln Hall Saturday night - Schuba's new venue on Fullerton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bböp Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Liam Finn is actually playing at Lincoln Hall Saturday night - Schuba's new venue on Fullerton. Was just coming back to correct myself on that, so thanks. I guess maybe it was originally scheduled for Schuba's but they got the new place open in time. Anyway, Liam and EJ are well worth catching, especially since they're not opening the UIC shows. Also, Lincoln Hall is technically on, um, Lincoln, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You kids pretty much expect the sets to be kinda similar to the Toronto 2 day run? Any word of a re-appearance by Da Total Pros?? Very cool for Feist to be showing up at various stops along the tour all summer as well, I know I would certainly welcome her with open arms on a little "You and I" duet. Even though Liam is not opening for these shows, it still would not surprise me to see him guest on a "You Never Know" as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangara Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Grand Archives and the Black Whales are playing Schubas on Saturday...that's where I'll be Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JRiordan Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I don't know if I'm more excited to see Wilco or TORTOISE!!! Ooops did I say that on this board? Well, their show at Empty Bottle earlier this year was really great. Pitchfork was OK but was too big / bloated for them. But seriously, I'm so excited to hear the new album songs live! Any good nearby (walking distance) pre-show bars? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I don't know if I'm more excited to see Wilco or TORTOISE!!! Ooops did I say that on this board? Well, their show at Empty Bottle earlier this year was really great. Pitchfork was OK but was too big / bloated for them. Not sure if hte somewhat bloated/too big UIC Pavillion will be that much better a venue than Union Park. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Any good nearby (walking distance) pre-show bars? I'm curious about this question as well. Hoping to catch at least the first quarter of Bears before heading into the show. The perks of having reserved seats!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Al.Ducts Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Left Minneapolis about 2 hours ago. On the road to Chicago! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hinko Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi everyone,I most likely have an extra GA ticket to the show on Sunday if anyone is interested, my wife can't go. I am coming from the Quad Cities area in the morning but not sure when I'm leaving yet, I will be up there fairly early though. Would anyone consider a trade for my 2 general admission tickets for one descent reserved seat? If not, we can work something out with just the extra ticket.Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k8tee Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Any good nearby (walking distance) pre-show bars? There's Jaks Tap (http://jakstap.com/) at 901 W Jackson, about a 10 minute walk to UIC. Tons of beer on tap (http://www.beermenus.com/cities/chicago/bars/jaks-tap) and the turkey reuben I had there was pretty tasty. Also, Crossroads (www.thecrossroadschicago.com) at 1120 W Madison St. isn't bad for a couple beers, and there are a few other places along that stretch of Madison. Like Beer Bistro (www.thebeerbistro.com) -- looks pretty cool, but I can't vouch for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest zacincceo Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 just got into town from my 6 am flight from boston.... so psyched..... I ended up getting 103 row B for monday and have 2 more GA's posted them up in the other sub-thread thing whatever lol anyone have pix of the poster? I asked this b4 someone said it was cool but didnt see how he/she saw it?! If you get close to the stage yell at tweedy for Shake it Off...... I've tried at Bonnaroo (literally 5 ft from stage)Lowell (in the rain 10 ft from stage)Wappinger (20 ft .... too high to yell) anyways, looking forward to it, anyone meeting up anywhere before/after for some w33d and b33r? all the best, this should be a great setlist.... lets hope for a complete bustout, no wilco opener and some of Dylan's Beard!

paulcalypse Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 This will be my first real Chicago Wilco show. (Lollapalooza doesn't count, haha) What should I expect to see that might differ than last night's excellent Ann Arbor show at Hill Auditorium. Are the setlists longer? Do the fans sing louder? I hope so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Via Harvard Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Going both nights, hoping for a heavy amount of Summerteeth tonight! Also, heading over to Jaks for some pre-game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I will be attending this event in the General Admission section. Incognito, of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Degenerex Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 See you all tonight. Even though I don't know who any of you are. But I will see you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
