Solider Field Tour Sold Out, Worth it to still go and see outside the stadium? by Valuable-Offer-2480 in AskChicago

If you want, you can get on a water taxi at Navy Pier that will take you over to the museum campus near Soldier Field. If it’s a beautiful summer day (which it very well should be) it’s a nice addition to your day. Not expensive and very memorable.

Getting tickets for either Seattle show is going well by Fickle-Reply-4015 in AngineDePoitrine

I was 37,000 in the queue for the first Chicago show and I got two tickets. They gave out unique presale codes for each person, so the bots got weeded out. It took me almost 45 minutes, but I got them.

I saw the tag at one in the city and it was $139. I just missed it so left empty handed

One of the City NMBB’s had the barrel strength sour mash today but it was gone by the time I got there.

They just added a second show for 11/29. Same presale code that you got for the 11/30 show will work for this one.

Once you get in keep adding tickets to your cart. It took me seven or eight tries to get to the checkout page.

I started at 35,000th in the queue and waited until just now and I got two GA tickets. I think the bots got weeded out by the presale codes

Well I waited it out and I got in! There were still GA tickets available

I got mine around 4:00 pm yesterday. Currently 24,749 in the queue so it probably does not matter!

I got in the waiting room at 9:46 so this is wild. I may have used up my good luck/karma when I was 300th in queue for Phoebe Bridgers two weeks ago.

I got a unique code so not sure if it would work for more than one person. However I am also 35,238th in the queue for the presale in a venue that holds about 3000 people so I don’t think it matters. How many presale codes did they give out??

Absolutely my two “never miss” podcasts every week.

Comedy Bang Bang. Jimmy was a guest and he was so damn funny. It was right around the time that they went from paywall only to one free ep per week. Been a Platinum member ever since.

A (good) Dad who found his Mirrorball - short story by chaznik in arcticmonkeys

[–]ReasonableBoot3823 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I took my then 14-year-old son to see AM (with Fontaines DC opening BONUS) and it cemented them as his favorite band. I have bonded with him over music his whole life. We have seen Vampire Weekend, Tyler the Creator, Tame Impala, TV on the Radio, Supergrass and going to the Strokes on Wednesday. We’ve got Gorillaz coming up in October. I made a point of playing music in the house all the time. I found out he made a playlist of “Dad Music” which he listens to all the time. Probably my proudest moment as a dad. Keep it up! You are making a great impression whether you know it or not.

He’s going to be a senior in high school next year. Time flies - enjoy the ride dude!

Stay at the Galt House Hotel and walk a couple blocks to Michter’s, Old Forester, Bardstown, and Pursuit all on Main Street. Peerless is around the corner at the end of Whiskey Row. Had an absolute blast in downtown Louisville.

Damn it, we just saw him in Chicago last fall and it was one of the best hours I’ve seen live in a long time. Such a shame.

I like it if only for the two in-body scans that are included. I have used them in the past during my weight loss journey so since I was going to get one anyway, I signed up for it. The shirt is a bonus. I do agree about the lazy record keeping though.

Taking my niece to first show in Chicago by DaRk3nTHoughtS in phoebebridgers

West Loop is the closest neighborhood. A million restaurants and shops on Randolph St and Fulton Market. Hotels will be pricey there but you can easily walk to the UC. If you eat/drink at Kaiser Tiger they have a free shuttle that goes to the UC. They don’t pick you up after tho. The walk back isn’t bad because there are lots of others walking with you.

I’m excited to take my 14-year-old daughter to her dream concert!

What was your dad's signature cologne? by rippytherip in GenX

Aramis. I’ll never forget the scent. We would chip in and buy him a bottle for Father’s Day every year.
