So do any of you have plans for before and after the show? Anyone know if BL is going to do a New Order style aftershow?

It would be cool to meet up with some of you NOOL blokes :)

I did not see another thread on this topic - please link to it if you know of one on or offsite.

Cheers,

That's what I am hoping for! My buddies are from Chicago - I'll post back here later tonight for a good spot. We are planning on having dinner also - you up for that?

I'll get them to pick a dinner spot and an adult beverage station as well...cheers!

So how do we get this post going in the next few days to generate traffic! I'd like to see a few dozen of us NOOLers crash one of these places. My buddies are still looking for the best place to eat and then :beer2:

Berlin has been suggested as a post-concert place to hang out. I never been there but it sounds okay for the music.

well, i'll be glad to be there, the problem is that i have to be at the airport the next day at 04:00 cause i will fly to new york at 06:00 a.m. So talk to your friends and decide the bar or pub where we'll meet up.

Yeah sounds good, will check back here for details.

Probably should be posting this in the Ceremony forum - there's an ongoing thread in there.

I would be up for some cold ones before the show! I used to live in Chicago but that was 10 years ago so I am trying to recall what pubs might be nearby the Park on Armitage? Chicago is a great pub town -- I'm sure there are plenty of choices within walking distance.

Not knowing the area - here is what one of my friends said:

There's also Four Farthings: http://www.yelp.com/biz/four-farthings-tavern-chicagoThere's tons of places you can stagger into around there. The neighborhood is jammed with bars. Parking is impossible around there. Sometimes Park West has valet for a lot of $$$. Better off taking public transport (redline, blueline) then cabbing it over to Park West.

Back in the day there was a pub called Stanley's that was on the corner of Lincoln and Armitage -- I think it's still there. I think it would be walking distance to the gig. But again I haven't lived there in 10 years -- hate to direct us to somewhere lame. BUT -- I do recall that there are a ton of pubs and bars on Lincoln Ave., so if we met at Stanleys and it was lame we could move on?

OK -- I did a little research -- Stanley's is probaby closest to the gig -- Four Farthings is a bit farther but not bad (less than 1/2 a mile). Four Farthings is probably more like a proper pub than Stanleys. My vote would be Four Farthings -- unless it's frickin freezing!! :)
