FRIDAY:
Pre-Show:
Meetup at E & C --OR-- attend Madeleine Peyroux set at Jazzfest, Monroe and Michigan, about 5-10 minute walk from the show...it's tight but you can make it.

***POST-SHOW***
Let's meet up at E & C or the steak house from 2007.

Thursday Dinner:
Some fans are thinking of having dinner at the The Gage on Michigan Avenue, Weber Grill in River North, Peterino's a block way adjoining the Goodwin Theatre a block away
or another venue, probably on Thursday. Please email your suggestions to the list. We make a final selection Wenesday aafternoon.

For Friday, some are talking about cacting the free Madeleline Peyroux concert at the Chicago Jazzfest that is about 2 blocks away. It is sceduled to end about 20 minutes before Steely Dan take the stage at the Chicago. If you miss Sam Yahel and can walk between shows quickly, you can catch both. The Chicago Jazzfest continues through Sunday.

PARKING
Parking at the Randolph & Wabash garage has changed from last year, according the attendent there with whom I spoke with last night.

Parking is $19 with valaidation. To get your validation, present your concert ticket BEFORE THE SHOW to the attendant in the PARKING GARAGE LOBBY. Unlike last year, you cannot pre-pay to avoid the end-of-show lines.

You can enter the parking garage from 1-way southbound Wabash (just south of Lake); or 1-way westbound Randolph.

ADDITIONAL L & SUBWAY NOTES
The Chicago Theatre website has great directions but remember that the Pink Line L also stops at State/Lake and the Blue Line Subway stops at Washington and Clark/Lake not too far away.
