I almost put this in the DB section for all those who say "Im really gonna try and make this one"

You dont try. You just Do it.

Pi Theory is playing this place Friday. The bar is cool, usually loaded with girls and a lot of them with low expectations (re:good enough for internet cretins)

You should all go.

Notable Celebrity Posters attending
Frank Coztanza
RPB
Bagels




Please feel free to add to the above list.

Also, we'll probably meet up and have a couple drinks/green before somewhere close...I wanna see the power of CSFMB in full force that night

Damn, I had a hard time choosing which show to go to this Friday: Rhett Miller or Mike Doughty. The wife and I chose Rhett Miller. Good thing I didn't know about this HUGE show at Durbin's at the time. I would've had to choose between 3 highly-desireable shows. :?

In closing - I'm really gonna try not to make it to this one.

I'm really gonna have to work on my presentation.

It's not an anti-coztansa thing, I'm really going to Rhett Miller that night at Park West - and two months ago when I bought the tix, I had a hard time decing between Miller and Doughty. True story. I'm not as anti-coztansa as some people believe. I just give him what he craves. Well - everything he craves that Hostess doesn't provide. :wink:

Doug?
Darkside?
CoFools?


Moints Pal? Who plays a Meat Whistle

If we played a show further north/west, I'm sure they'd try and come out. Evergreen Park is a hike for all 3 of these cats.

Fair enough.

Although I think people here make too big a fuss over how FAR things are...if its in the Chicagoland area...its not far.

Trying to work it out. I might be able to attend.
And 65 miles is the distance RPB, a 1.5 hour drive. Chicagoland nothing. ever drove on 94 from 120 to 95th? On a friday?

You'd be better off taking 294 to 95th St and that east to Kedzie :P

Ok let me put it like this...if you can get to the city in under 45 mins on a friday night (after rush hour) E.P. is 12 mins from downtown if you drive correctly

15 miles in 12 minutes? not even at 3:30 am....can't be done. fastest i ever made it was 22 minutes from Racine/Grand to 100th and Kedzie.

i'm looking at 55 miles and an hour minimum from the Mund. taking 294 to 95th.

Ok I just google mapped it from 2200 Cermak to 95th is 18 minutes and we all know Google maps drives like a grandma so 15 mins is easy

Sometimes they do, but there are lots of times that downtown to 95th st/Evergreen Park can be more like an hour.

My usual 30 minute commute is generally about an hour on Fridays.

Really? I get off earlier than most...on the roadk by 337...but On fridays and mondays i find my commute to be quicker.

I attributed it to a bad economy...and 4 day work weeks

Speaking of Bad Economy...Lets get drunk at Durbins

Right which is why Im not chastising (sp?) you or anyone who is THAT far. Its when someone who lives in Bucktown thinks Oak Lawn is the other side of the world.


Either way...if a 20 minute drive is long for some...so be it.

Conversely, people who live in Oak Lawn really do believe Bucktown is on the other side of the globe.
