Says here they do...and I would expect them to at least in the winter.
Aragon Ballroom - Uptown - Chicago, IL 60640

Whoever is going there early let us know if people are already lining up...would be fun to know.
And what's with it not being sold out? I wonder how un-sold out it is...

BlissedandGone2 · 12-07-2008, 01:18 PM

JRiordan is way to hardcore to use a coatchceck.

Rickpat12 · 12-07-2008, 02:02 PM

Haha, I may not either. I'm parking a block or two away so I'm throwing my coat in the car close to 6:15

carapatricia · 12-07-2008, 02:20 PM

anyone post this yet? Billy playing with Frogs at lollapalooza i think in 94. Billy has curly longish hair, and him and jimmy flemion wrestle on stage a little while jimmy tries to pull billys shirt off.

dzhezus · 12-07-2008, 03:26 PM

Hey I'm taking the Metra down to Ravenswood from the north suburbs. It's like 0.8 miles from that to the Aragon, is that a safe kinda place? Our train doesn't leave until like 12:30, so are there any 24 hour places to hang out? Alternately, is anyone driving back north on I-94?

avsfan7733 · 12-07-2008, 03:31 PM

so.. although I have a million school things to do for tomorrow, I found a ticket on craigslist for 20 bucks and will be heading down. Cya guys after the show tonight!

Pizza Club · 12-07-2008, 04:19 PM

I will be leaving at 3 after the Bears game and get up there right at 4:45 probably. I've got short dark hair and a goatee and sideburns...If you see me say yo. I'll have time to kill.

carapatricia · 12-07-2008, 04:32 PM

SAY HI.
if you see a girl in flannel and a vest and a feather in her hair.
and a shorter girl (possibly) wearing billy's old 666 shirt.
say hi.

or punch me in the face. but watch the glasses. whichever you choose, really.

aldango · 12-07-2008, 04:54 PM

if you see a tall person wearing THIS HAT, it's me:

Rickpat12 · 12-07-2008, 04:58 PM

I'll be wearing a similar hat but it's gray and black. Blue knit scarf probably. Black coat. See ya all there.

avsfan7733 · 05:05 PM

I'm gonna be wearing a big green jacket and a matching hat outside.. a machina 2 tshirt with a grey long sleeve inside. Say hello! (before you say goodbye)

this is exactly what i'll look like, minus the whole hot chick next to me thing.

Bullet1979 · 12-07-2008, 06:01 PM

I called the venue earlier and it sounds like they are oblivious to the open taping policy. I welcome anyone else to keep calling and asking and maybe they'll do something about figuring it out.

killtrocity · 12-07-2008, 06:36 PM

anyone know when the doors actually open for 4 star vips

Skradgee · 12-07-2008, 07:51 PM

just about to leave for the aragon...I called about taping and the venue is aware. The person I spoke with on the phone said that they will be allowing recording equipment in.

see you guys and girls there.

carapatricia · 12-07-2008, 08:33 PM

Wait! I know that hot chick! But from where........

carapatricia · 12-07-2008, 10:04 PM

frogs just played. Billy came on stage during one song and tried to play drums, but dennis flemion shut him down and grabbed the sticks. Jimmy frog flipped out and took off his wings and shirt. Pretty great so far

It would be so sad it the roof caved in.. we would have to have a memorial service here

Slurpee · 12-08-2008, 12:02 AM

what happened to the "liveposting"?

carapatricia · 12-08-2008, 12:18 AM

Jesse corgan rocking the fuck out to set the controls. Timpanis recorder tamborine and bird

PistolPete · 12-08-2008, 12:22 AM

Did you pee yourself tonight, carapatricia?

carapatricia · 04:48 AM

Ok first intermission. Show was been amazing so far. Medillia played after billy talking about shitty alternative bands and bloggers with beards. Crowd Moshed during bodies cherub today and at least 2 girls on my side were carried out. Everyone is pumped. Billy is smiling and happy and jeff keeps giving my friend "the eye "

carapatricia · 12-08-2008, 01:12 AM

Same merch people from vieuphoria. Do they work here or with the band? Jesse plaayed thru the night and disarm was dedicated to dorothy, their grandma who just died. Jeff thru us 3 picks aaand no I didn't pee myself. That was my friend at metro 8 yes ago!! Now to the stAge doors to wait for the band

dustrock · 12-08-2008, 01:13 AM

awesome.

ask Billy if we're going to get an EP of Rome Burns, Song for a Son, Owata.

tcm · 12-08-2008, 01:19 AM

srt4b · 12-08-2008, 01:55 AM

AMAZING. Was it the dude that looks like George Lucas and his wife, or that other guy?

BTW, these very recent shows have sounded like they have gone down very well...much different from the beginning of the tour. They sound a hell of a lot more fun.

avsfan7733 · 12-08-2008, 02:12 AM

this was my 3rd show of this tour and it was definitely the best... The crowd was into it, the band was into it, and most importantly I was in like the 2nd row (haha).

My only gripe is that it was basically all hits.. which is great for the crowd and whatever and netphorians-style people can enjoy hits too.. but i, don't know. I feel bad when the band has to play 5 hit songs in a row to get the crowd into it. People moshed like crazy during cherub rock and zero.. yet superchrist and US get no reaction.

jesse corgan on stage was pretty cool too, as was the dedication of disarm to their late grandmother. Ava adore as an encore was pretty sweet. Billy slithered around just like in the video.

Oh and most importantly jeff threw 2 picks into cara's friends' clevage. Good shot brother.
