Just purchased. The nine dollar service fee is sort of ludicrous, though.
I'm excited.

I'd absolutely love to be there, but as was the case with the show at the Riviera, I can't go due to the age restriction. The show they did at the House of Blues two years ago was my second Hold Steady show, and the first one that I really, really loved. It'd be pretty cool to go see them there again.

I noticed that the concert is being hosted by Chicago Cubs charity so I wonder how much that had to do with the ticket prices. I would imagine that has something to do with the base fee, but I guarantee the charity isn't seeing a penny of that extra $9.15 added to each ticket...

The company that builds our dispensing machine (AutoMed) is in Chicago. The last time they upgraded a bunch of my coworkers got flown up for retraining. I'm gonna purchase a Mogwai in Chinatown and leave his ass @ work. Hopefully he'll get shit done in time for this.

It is also co-sponsored by Bud Light, which indicates to me that there will be free beer on hand. are you trying to twist my arm now?

Just bought my tickets! These random shows they do are such wonderful surprises. Sometimes a guy has to take a step back and appreciate moments of good fortune - which are few and far between in Chicago in January!

Starting the morning spending an entire paycheck at Quimby's and my fave Chinatown for lunch and the best walks ever along Lake Michigan and America's best band in the evening before closing down Estelle's before going to bed when the sun is coming up how could you possbly not come to this?!?

Just secured 3 of 'em; 1 for me, 1 for my little brother, and 1 for my father.
Extremely happy right now. Can't wait for 2009 to begin.
