remphish1 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I’m heading to Chicago from NJ. I’m flying solo Friday then meeting up with a buddy Saturday. Any meet up planned? Any restaurant recommendation near the Vic? Any other words of advice about the shows? Is there any openers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Typically these shows have no openers. Looks to be the case again this year. On food, Sheffields & Fish Bar are good. Lots of good food in Chicago - always tricky handling though before a Vic show given GA nature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 My favorite sandwich shop of all time, Panes Bread Cafe is just south of the Vic on Sheffield/Wellington. I try to hit it up before every show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Avoid their pizza, but their grilled cheese and fries are fine by me. Proximity to the venue can’t be beat too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I wish I could be going, but all my shiny dimes are being hoarded for Solid Sound this year. Everybody who's going, have a magnificent time! (Of course you will!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pequods is the best pizza in Chicago therefore the world. Worth the trip...get an Uber. Be a long walk after a couple slices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Haven’t missed a year since 2012. I’m beyond ready for two nights of Jeff magic, and seeing so many friends again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dusty Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Do we know how the requests will go this year? Is it still a request show for the first 30? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus there is no "golden circle" this year, so the line will also be able to be up front. See you there!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
