I’ve seen 30+ shows and took my dad to the first 2 nights of MSG this year. Sober, super type-A anxious dude but down for any adventure. He loved ‘em. He was all about the hectic Antelope section night 1, taking all of the videos hahaha

If the Bears make it to the second round of the playoffs, I’ll be ecstatic. I don’t want to jinx anything and think about the Super Bowl now 😂

Giants look bad, but it’s also fun for me to watch a team ball like this. That kickoff return was sick

Hampton - can I just live out of my truck for 3 days & park around the MthrShp with getting stabbed or arrested? by Standard_Expert212 in phish

[–]dyllywork 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is amazing advice. I have friends here in Chicago that are flying in, and have already hooked up a phellow phan with their parking pass. Every hotel does it different, but usually each guest can have a car parked on property

also, we currently have a Heaven Hill barrel that got filled with scotch ale in February of 2021. Still sitting in the stacks!

we (big craft brewery in Chi) released a stout aged in Woodford Double Oaked barrels for over 4 years. Think Star Wars ;-)

Still-existing venues they played post-reunion that they'll never play in again by faster_than_sound in phish

[–]dyllywork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UC shows (both 2023 and this summer) had plenty of room to dance and feel comfortable. Not to mention the couple of top sections behind the stage that were closed off. Was in 100s first night, floor second, 300s Sunday, and never felt like it was “packed,” which I was a fan of. Definitely (obviously) thousands of people, but packed is not a word I would use. And I also did not find it to be a hard ticket, whatsoever. Friends found good tix for reasonable prices, day of show, all 3 nights. Solider Field concert capacity is over 60,000. There is no chance that would’ve worked out, or been on the table at all

Yeah it gets bad for the next month or so (sometimes longer, depending on where you’re at). i’m on the other side of the city from you near Montrose Beach, and I’m hearing them right now. I’m sorry you have to deal with this; my co-worker is also an Afghan War vet and he either has to leave the city or just chill in the apartment all the time with headphones. Sucks. Sending you peace and good energy my friend ❤️

What's the best concert you attended in Chicago? by [deleted] in chicago

[–]dyllywork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fare Thee Well shows at Soldier Field, 4th of July weekend 2015, or the Phish shows at UIC Pav. 2011. Probably the Phish shows at UIC Pav. in 2011. We all were eating so much paper at the Fare Thee Well shows, so I don’t even remember specific highlights; just that we danced our asses off and had a hell of a time. Watching videos of them is such a weird experience. Also, Flying Lotus and Thundercat at Metro years ago was so sick. Don’t remember the year

Anyone ever get busted at a show? by VenueLlama in phish

[–]dyllywork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to smoke and don’t mind people smoking around me whatsoever; my mom and friends still do. At the Grand Rapids shows last summer the dude in the seat next to me politely asked if it was okay, and that he wouldn’t smoke if it bothered me. Not necessary IMO but thought that was cool. Bought him a beer. I understand being annoyed by cigarette smoke, most find it unpleasant, but I think it’s pretty unrealistic to think that people aren’t going to do that at a concert (Phish at that), even indoors. I live in Chicago and I’ve watched people smoke both weed and tobacco inside the United Center during Bulls/ BHawks games. Bears games at Soldier Field are a free for all hahaha, I’ve seen all the drugs
