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.

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.

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?

Thanks blissed. I probably won't be able to meet up before the show, but I'll be waiting for Billy afterwards and anything that goes down then.

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.

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.
