Just curious, Is that code for a place where I can park my van and hang out with fellow heads?

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
I just made my reservations at the Holiday Inn like 3/4 of a mile from the venue. I'll be driving a 1970 white Westy with IN plates feel free to stop by I'm sure there will be plenty of heads staying there! love, peace, and Volkswagen grease, Andy
I don't know their policy but there are going to be so many other people in that area I don't know how they could tell if you were a registered guest or not. So, to answer your question sure come on by and hang out.
Ahhh...sadly I will not join you folks in the windy city....but reading those posts brought back fond memories of the last time The Grateful Dead performed. Geez...even as a new school seein shows for about 5 years I was apalled that I had to pay FIFTY bucks for that show (all you old schoolers are laughing remembering the $3-7 dollar shows). Now it's what...I don't even know...and your not even paying for thick air!! (and ARE paying for Warren Haynes...go figure).
But that has little to do with this post. Geee...it was soooo beautiful...I remember the last So Many Roads....and I don't know if it was the hallucinogens or WHAT (hee-hee), but I swear during the chorus that I was elevated (yup, just like David Blaine) about a foot in the air with my eyes closed. I'm not even sure the tear that fell from my face hit the ground.
Should i stay at the holiday inn or residence inn? Ive never stayed in the area before. The residence inn is 1/4 a mile away? wheres everybody going?
Thanks Nick
Thats where I'll be posted up! I think it's with in a couple miles from the venue maybe less.
Unless there is an Embassy Suite's next to the airport the only one I know of is downtown Chicago where I stayed last year. That is a good 1/2 hour drive across town to Allstate Arena. Just my 2 cents....
So a group of us are flying in tuesday am. from Minneapolis. We are going to the Cubs game at wrigly which start at 1, enough time to party and get back to rosemount by train. We will be at Hubby bears, before and after the game I heard it is a huge bar. So the more heads the better. Safe travels -- E
Well i guess i am staying at the holiday inn. unless anyone knows anywhere cheaper and where people are going to be at? Whoever is talking about the embassy suite there are a lot closer hotels than that including The holiday inn. so if i don't here from anyone who knows whats going on see ya somewhere in Chicago!!
Thanks Nick
