So the address of Aragon is 1106 W Lawrence Ave and the neighborhood is Uptown. use that to help you search for sports bars on citysearch, metromix, yelp, etc.

Unlike the current tour’s thematic “Black Sunshine / White Crosses” set-lists, this show
will consist of a unique stand-alone mix of songs—in other words, expect plenty of fireworks!

Grrrr!!!!!!!!!!!

let me go back to Chicaaaaaaaaagggooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a parking garage nearby? I don't remember. I know I've always had to do street parking when I've gone to the Aragon.

BlissedandGone2 · 12-05-2008, 01:09 PM

BlissedandGone2 · 12-05-2008, 01:11 PM

I noticed that too, but their site is pretty uninformative in every other aspect, so maybe they got it wrong. Perhaps the 5-stars get to claim their spot at 6?

nohumid · 12-05-2008, 01:18 PM

hey thre, i have 1 ticket for the dec 7th show. i am needing to sell it because i had bought it for a friend as an early x-mas gift and so of course with my luck she is unable to attend. I am asking 50 so less than face value which was 60. PLEASE PM ME IF YOU'RE INTERESTED!!!!

it is through ticket fast so i would e-mail you the ticket.

Rickpat12 · 12-05-2008, 01:18 PM

I second the parking at Aragon request.

BlissedandGone2 · 12-05-2008, 02:21 PM

theres street parking in the area which is a gamble but there are also a couple lots like a block away, shouldnt be hard to find. i think lawrence ave has several.

redbull · 12-05-2008, 03:03 PM

I'm down for a meetup on Monday, although I have 5star for that show so I have to be there early at 4:45pm.

This show is gonna be awesome!!! If anyone wants to let me leave my big puffy coat in their nearby parked car just before we have to go in, that'd be really appreciated. As cold as it is outside, it's gonna get hot as hell inside.

BlissedandGone2 · 12-07-2008, 02:24 AM

i'm not dead · 12-07-2008, 04:06 AM

killtrocity · 12-07-2008, 04:15 AM

el_hemeno · 12-07-2008, 10:09 AM

I was thinking of being out there before noon, but I'm slacking so I don't have to sit in that cold for quite as long.

JRiordan · 12-07-2008, 12:16 PM

BEARS GAME @ noon. I may be watching some of it at FAT CAT on Racine, just north of Lawrence on the west (left) side of the street.

Got Bears orange shirt on today... underneath multiple coats. See you soon!

Tonight is gonna rock!!!
