Wax Trax/Prongers get together

Boom boom.

Okay so it’s coming up this week. For those coming, we can meet up somewhere on Saturday afternoon. I’d like to do that; been seeing you guys post for years so it’ll be good to put faces and personalities to usernames. I don’t know how to set this up really besides posting numbers on here, so I suppose people can PM me their numbers and I’ll text etc.

As far as Thursday, April 14th, I’ll be at FIX with Paul and then after that, probably Neo which has Luc Van Acker DJing, as I helped hook that up. That is 21+ and is on 2350 N. Clark and is open from 10pm-4am. That’s one option for those coming earlier than Friday.

I’m Jealous…I wish I could go. Everyone, Enjoy!

I just sent you a PM, Afra.

Anybody want to meet up on Friday? My local friends punked out on me and didn’t get ticket so it would be nice to meet up with folks on Friday night before the show, maybe find a reasonably priced dive bar nearby and get some drinks before the show. Hmmm… Wempathy might have some suggestions, I’ll shoot him a PM and hope he responds.

There’s Gingerman’s right next to Metro that is a dive and always a cool place to get a few drinks. Also, in that area, there are many other bars but mainly sports bars as it’s right by Wrigleyville. I live right near it… Offers a lot of places to go. Restaurants, sports bars, dive bars, Metro etc

Thanks for the suggestion Afra. I was thinking of a place that isn’t too trendy, not totally swamped (doesn’t take 15 minutes to get a drink) and is CHEAP! Any other suggestions?

Carmangary I PM’ed you my phone number, anyone else interested in meeting up on Friday I guess we should all just PM each other our numbers and figure out a plan.

Gingermans is what you described. Just a regular bar. They all are right by metro. No frills, long lines…

Cool! Gingerman’s it is then…

Everyone on the list should have my cell number by now. If I somehow missed you, please let me know. Don’t be shy about texting or calling, I definitely want to stay in the prongs loop while in town. Gingerman’s sounds good for the Saturday meet up. This will be my first time in Chicago, so I’m very excited. See you all soon!

I’ll be arriving by train on Friday a la Source Code with Michelle Monaghan with only 8 minutes to live.

That’s how I roll.

I’ll PM my number too. Let’s do Friday and Saturday pre shows. This Gingerman’s place sounds grand to me. Say 7pm @ Gingerman’s on Friday night, provisional?

Just an FYI - Gingerman’s is CASH ONLY, so rock some ATM action before you arrive.

Perused some Yelp reviews this morning…I like places like this:

If everyone can go through Tenohtwo with arranging things as things will be hectic for me the weekend and him and I will be in touch. If you haven’t heard from him and you’re coming, drop him a message.

Thanks guys. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Ok I got some Cell info from Tenohtwo and Mick. I’m going to be trying to see the sights during the day with my girlfriend, but meeting up at Gingerman’s pre-metro sounds like an awesome plan for either (or both) nights!

Okay, cool… so it seems everyone has at least a few contact numbers that those that want to meet up on Friday can get in contact with each other. Looked up the info again and it says doors open @ 7pm, show at 8pm, perhaps we should meet up at 6pm rather than 7?

Yeah go for 6pm instead for Friday night. I thought originally it was doors open @8pm, but I’m mistaken.

Thanks for the contact info, everyone. I imagine we’ll be texting/talking on Friday, unless I see you at FIX on Thursday.

Arrived in CHI this morning, dead tired but ready to go. My phone is acting up a bit (works for a second then doesn’t) but just checking if everyone’s still on for 6pm at Gingerman’s.

Yes, we are still on for 6:00 pm.

My phone is refusing to cooperate in the Windy Apple so I’ll see ye at 6
