    I am coming into Union Station about 3pm. Where would be a good place to get a couple beers walking distance?

    Pregaming FOBAB is really NOT a good idea... I'd focus on food and water.

    Note, address of venue is UIC Forum NOT the UIC Pavilion

    Forum address is: 725 W Roosevelt Rd, Chicago, IL 60607

    The Pavilion is a little over a mile away from the Forum on Racine. If taking a cab, might make a difference.

    Was going to share the same thing! I graduated from UIC in 2004 and that Forum building wasn't even constructed yet I don't think. Assumed it was the Pavillion until I looked harder this week.

    This, except since I'm taking a half day from work, I plan to have a beer with lunch, and then because of train schedules I'm going to end up with 1.5hr to burn I think I'm stopping at GI Clybourn for a 5oz pour of Morticia... unless watch, Clybourn ends up bringing that to FOBAB lol.

    Have people that opted for the mailed tickets received them yet? I have not seen mine.

    They came in a nondescript white envelope with a window. I got mine about 3 weeks ago. Hope you find them!

    I think I got mine about 5 biz days after ordering. Typical TicketMaster envelope.

    Thanks, both of those comments might help. Im hoping I didn't throw away the envelope thinking it was junk. I typically don't do that, but I wouldn't put it past myself. If anything I opened it a while back, stashed the ticket somewhere, and have since forgotten about it.

    Yeah, per TicketMaster's usual nonsense, there were all sorts of advertisements stuffed in with the tickets. The wife nearly tossed it out thinking it was garbage.

    Well, there's 5oz pours, then there's pregaming. You know what I mean :wink:

    Rarely do I wake up craving copious amounts of BA stout(s), but this morning was such a day. 6pm can't come quick enough...
