    Does anyone know if the main line to get in will include a bypass lane for folks holding Group A tickets?

    The Open Bottle in Tinley Park (183rd & Harlem Ave., just off I-80) has DLD shuttles running and some special tappings as well. Nothing on their website but they had this flyer when I stopped in today:

    Do you like rumors and speculation?

    We were Group A last year, and IIRC, there was one line outside of the gates for everyone, and then once you got inside, they directed you to the A line. But like someone said earlier, there is no real need to rush right to the A line, you will plenty of time to get your allotment later in the A group window.

    GI Fulton taproom will definitely not be open this weekend. Held up by the city yet again. Flossmoor, Catalina Wine Mixer both good options.

    Also, 18th St is open to the public after 6pm but if you plan for that, show up early and wait outside in line, because it will fill up to capavity very quickly and become a madhouse.

    Hey, give the city a break; they have to figure out just how much money they can milk out of GI.

    The main line to get into the fest? There are two lines to get into the fest.

    The South Gate line is for everyone except Group A.

    The North Gate is for Group A.

    Last year I was hanging out in the South Gate line with some friends, but I had Group A. A worker informed me I would have to walk to the North Gate in order to get in unless I wanted to wait, I could not bypass the line.

    ***After 7:00.

    Also, there won't likely be anything left because I'm going to drink it all.

    Mayhaps my memory is faulty, but couldn't anyone wait in the north line? I don't think it was limited to A group only...
