My band is playing that Sunday evening; however, it's on the other end of the Chicagoland area and my guess is that most folks will have gone home by then.
Regardless, I can likely make Friday and/or Saturday pending any other gig offers we receive between now and then.

We're actually looking at the Brewers since the Cubbies ticket prices have gone completely out of control... plus, we can tail gate at Miller Park and since it is a retractable roof stadium, it won't get rained out. -

That will be determined once we have an idea of how many people are coming...
So, please post up if you can or plan to attend. Yooper Paul and I need to have an approximate number so we can find out about tickets, venues, etc. -

As soon as I have some numbers, I'll be contacting several hotels in the area for a group rate. -
