You're not coming???



Serious question: ANYONE coming thru or near the far NW side of Chicago on their way downtown that might want to pick up DD & I? I can drive downtown but, if a carpool is available, with another driver (not me!), I will pay for parking!

 

[paintnolish]

I pm'ed Mindy, but thought I'd post here, too. Add me onto the list, plus a friend. I am going to skip the wedding I was supposed to go to!
Is The Ford Theater where The Lion King was? I walked there from the train and was wondering if I can do the same thing this time.

 

[Princess Mindy]

I'm not sure if this is where the Lion King was, but I know its pretty easy to walk to from the Metra Electric lines and the CTA train lines. Its a little farther from Olgilvie Metra line, but still not too long of a walk.

 

[Jasminesmommy]

If anyone backs out or you can get more tickets I would like 4 please. My dd is going to do 2 songs from wicked for competition and need to see it soon and this would be a perfect opportunity.

 

[KimRaye]

Mindy, I'll mail you a check this week.

 

[KimRaye]

Update from Mindy, 8/29........Page 1.....

**Tickets are 37$ each (that includes all taxes) payable to me via check in advance (no later than October 28th) or cash on the day of the show PM me for my address if you're sending a check. **

Thanks again Mindy!

Hi all!
If anyone wants to add on to the 20, I'm going to call the ticket people FRIDAY to add people to the contract. If you want to go, please contact me by posting here or pming me by Friday at noon (Central time) and tell me how many tickets you want. Anyone posting after Friday at noon, I'm sorry, but I have to close things some time!

People I have to add:
Paintnolish: 2
Jasminesmommy: 4
wltdsnyfan: 2

so that brings our total to 28.

And please remember, I am paying for this with my own credit card, so if you sign up for tickets you need to be sure you are attending. Payment info is one post up!
Thanks!

Paint, not sure if this was where Lion King was, but I know that the train station at Mich/Randolph is only a couple blocks east of the theatre. I am planning on taking the train with my DD if DH won't drive us and walking the couple blocks.

 

[eeyore45]

This sounds wonderful!! I'm going to ask dh!!

We would take a train to Union Station, then take the 151 Bus from Union Station to State Street - it is on the corner, catty corner from Marshal Fields store - which becomes Macy's on Friday!!

(depending on the dates you usually can get a great room on Priceline too!! Usually the Hyatt goes for around $50 a night - unless there's a convention! - they dont have an indoor pool tho! )

Thanks for the post on another thread on the Community Board!!

 

[eeyore45]

DH is in a meeting - but dd is excited, and since I read someone else was bringing a dd - we went to see the Ballet of Sleeping Beauty at the Chicago Theatre - it is around the corner from the Wicked Theatre...


Here's the website for the seating chart...

My girlfriend went as a chaperone for the high school group, and while the seats do seem high, she loved it, and wouldnt hesitate to go again -

Also, in the basement of Marshal Fields is a "food court" lots of seating that moves around, salads...etc...

(the Field's market place in the basement is the cheapest, cafeteria style, with different places to choose from - )

This is a great website for restaurants..

Lion King was at the Cadillac Theatre just down the street from the Ford.
