I lucked out and got some cheap airfare to Chicago, it just happened to coincide with Chicago Blackout Fest 2012! It will be my first time going to Chicago, was curious to see if there will be any GPH members in attendance?

If you are'nt driving , take a cab from Downtown , or the green line elevated train(To Diversey). Don't have the address handy , sorry.
It's still kind of a dicey neighborhood (It's a cpippled industrial area, not a "Neighborhood"as such. ) , not too bad , just be alert. The show is at 7 , so , it won't even be dark , then , anyway.
The whole of Chicago disagrees with me , but , The Mentally Ill was/is the best Punk band Chicago produced. Except , they're from Deerfield .
Permalink Reply by Sean Law on May 14, 2012 at 1:32am I dig 'Gacy's Place', it's a classic. Unfortunately, I can't be there for the Thursday night. I'm traveling from Vancouver BC, and will be getting in to O'Hare very late afternoon of the Friday.
Apparently there's a NATO summit on that weekend and they're gonna shut the city down!! :(

Permalink Reply by John Battles on May 21, 2012 at 2:29pm WELL , WE SURVIVED IT .Though , I really only went to see Roky , who did a tremendous set , and The Mentally Ill , last Thursday , well , the mix was terrible , yes , these things matter , even in "Punk Rock". They sounded fantastic a few months back at the Ultra Lounge.
I'd say it was a success , all around , tho'.
