    I want to go to both Chicago and Rosemont, but my finances dictate that I chose one, so I'll be at this one.

    Rosemont is only a few miles away, and a wayyyyy better venue. I caught them here the day after my birthday last time around, and you can see from the YouTube clips, they laid down a shit-hot performance.

    If anyone else is catching this one, hit me up and we'll set this motherfucker off.

    isn't there a Sheraton or something across from the arena? back in the mid-90's the place i worked at had a machine built over there on Mannheim Rd, and we stayed right by the arena. i remember driving by it and thinking how many times i'd seen "Rosemont Horizon" on the old concert dates rundown on MTV. not far from O'Hare, too.

    I was looking at Section 1 at the Rosemont show. TicketBastard shows the rows go all the way across the floor with no breaks and there are 50 seats in a row. Does this mean if you are in seat 25 – you have to climb over 25 people (either direction you go) to get a beer/take a piss?

    I see at other venues, there are aisle ways that go right up to the front of the stage – that effectively breaks the front row section into three smaller sections. However, according to TicketBastard’s website – that doesn't appear to be the case at the Chicago Rosemont show.

    Just tore this out of the latest Chicago weekend events section of the Onion:
    Van Halen
    It seems like Eddie Van Halen just can't get along with everyone in his band at the same time. His long-discussed reunion with original singer David Lee Roth took years and a couple of highly publicized false starts to actually come together, but in the meantime, Eddie forced out founding bassist Michael Anthony in favor of his son, Wolfgang. The band's new recorded, A Different Kind of Truth, might feature an abysmal lead single, "Tattoo", but it's surprisingly solid. New material or not though, the return of Diamond Dave is worth flicking your lighter on from the cheap seats, so strap in and prepare to hear "Panama" the way God intended it to be heard, except for the bass and backing vocals.

    Why do so many douchey cunts write for newspapers and websites these days?

    Please tell your kids to grow up smart and become doctors and engineers and scientists --- we already have enough "liberal arts" wanks writing useless garbage on the Interwebs.
