Hey, if any of you need help with hotels listings/locations I'd be glad to share the info. Restaurants, extra activities, public trans info. I know the downtown area really well.
I've stayed at or know people who've stayed at different hotels in the loop, so if you have any questions, let me know. Right now I know of two that are directly across the street from Grant Park. One is pricey and really nice. The other is one of those "past it's glory" old hotels and a little more beat up and therefore should be cheaper (I'm sure they'll jack the price up for that weekend). My cousin stayed there a few years ago and it was okay.
There are others within walking/the L /taxi limits. They all are going to cost some moola so don't let the prices shock ya. (And watch for the extra parking fees if you rent a car.)

Sam has done some research and found some pretty good deals, we think.
(S -- please ask Ree-Ree here about the neighborhoods/hotels you found.)

Be sure and attempt to get cubbies tickets now. My friend and I waited 2 days in the "Virtual Waiting Room" hell that is cubbies online ticketing to no avail.And. . . anyone up for a game at Wrigley field on Thursday afternoon (Aug. 3)?
Also, take a jacket to the game. We went to a game in May, and, while it was 70 degrees in Chicago, the wind blowing in off the lake made it a chilling 43 inside Wrigley.

I would go to a game for sure (and depending on the time, Jack could be interested), but tickets are really hard to come by.
I stopped trying years ago And now depend on the kindness of strangers.
Count me in if you have any luck!
And as far as info. help, what would you like to know? Do you want to e-mail me or call me?
Send me a pm

When you check with him about Lollapalooza, give him hell because he still hasn't sent that mythical Christmas mix CD to Russell.I'll check with Tyler, 'cause he'll probably grumble and won't want to go
