Lollapalooza 2012 - Chicago

[NotMitchelBade]

A big conversation just started on my facebook page about this lineup. Luckily I saw this thread!

[Mr. Belgian Manders]

So Black Sabbath is confirmed by the band (kinda).

And I can't believe no one mentioned them in this thread! ;D

Sabbath!! I was going to do a bunch of the actual tour until it fell apart.
Looks like I'm doing Lolla this summer too! woooooooooooooooot.

I used www.booking.com.....which is a part of priceline apparently. $225 for the Chinatown hotel and there is no deposit required, and you can cancel until 24 hours before check in with no fees.

Thanks for the heads up on this hotel. Never been to Chicago before, not worried about staying in a super nice spot, cheap is better I'll spend the difference on cabs and late nights.

That site looked a little shady to me but I guess with no deposit ill check it out.

It's legit. I've used them multiple times in the past.

1) All we know for sure is Sharon said they would be playing one show in the US in August and that the promoters of the gig wouldn't let her discuss the details. It certainly narrows down the likely options.

2) If you would come back to the Lolla board, you could discuss this and so much more!

I really need to come back. I'll be in Chicago the week after Lolla so I have a reason

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the main site. Under Connect you'll see Forum.

I would be so excited for Sabath at Lolla. I was hoping for them at Roo, but I think Lolla will be much better. I can't wait to board the Red Line after they headline and hear the whole subway singing Crazy Train!

Those Lolla crowds sure love to sing. I love how even though the city puts noise ordinances into effect at 10, the singing probably doesn't stop until midnight.

No prob, the no deposit was mandatory for me as well. Just spent like $1200 on All good VIP and Jazzfest tix....

[schlonginus]

I need, at the very least, a Black Sabbath confirmation before I can warrant spending $1000+ on fest/plane/hotel/cab. Lineup in early April you say?

Booked. Chinatown ain't ready.

[laggy]

so inforoo party at the chinatown inn?


haha.. IF I end up going, I'll more than likely end up there

edit: Maybe I shouldn't have spilled the beans, by lineup time all the inforooers may have all the rooms booked up!

Hell yea, that's what I'm talking about. I'm comin up from Bama (depending on the lineup) Wrecking Crew style.

Is Sabbath is actually playing I'm gonna be in full on rampage rager mode.

[Launchpad McQuack]

can somebody throw up a link to this chinatown inn?? I want in on the bandwagon =p

[laggy]

Here's a link for expedia. I don't know about the site the other guys used

Thanks! They want full payment at the time of reservation though, so that's a no go for me =(.

Last year I stayed at the River Hotel and we just had to throw down $50 and pay the remaining balance the day of check in.

Laggy since booking.com doesnt require a deposit and as far as i know doesnt have a cancelation fee till closer to checkin why dont you book a room just in case. When I got mine there were only a handful left!

[schlonginus]

Everytime I see that doofus in the .gif of Phi's signature, I want to do this to him:

anyone else?

[Sgt. Blotter]

Longinus got some big azz tittayyysss


Gambit- Use booking.com a one bed room is $225 and a two bed is $240....a suite is $270. They are getting kinda low on rooms I think there's like 13 or so left at those prices at least.

Chinatown is gonna be rockin'

ehhh.. I know maybe I should. But that feels like a commitment lol
Once I book that hotel it's going to feel like "OK, I'm going!"

I'm still very undecided. It's going to take a lineup on par with 2011, 2008, or the fake one to get me there.
I'd say there's like a 20% chance I'll actually go. My girlfriend is pushing really really hard for me to go to HARDfest LA that weekend, and offering to hook me up with free flight and accommodations, so I'm kind of tempted to go with that.

[Launchpad McQuack]

can anyone hook me up with a link on booking.com... having a hard time finding it =/

[Launchpad McQuack]

nevermind! found it and booked the last remaining suite =D

[Phi]

just search for chinatown inn

[Launchpad McQuack]

already got it thanks phi!
