Chicago 2/4: Virgin Store, Pre/Post Party Details.
« Thread Started on Yesterday at 7:13pm »
Fellow Hammerheads coming to Chicago: Here is the details for the Virgin Store, Pre/Post party. I could not have done this alone and take this moment to thank chitownchick for her creative ideas and being my sounding board. Thank you so much. You're a gem...
So hang loose and get ready to spend the day “Spreading the Love” with your fellow Hammerheads:
Chicago Virgin Megastore
540 N. Michigan Avenue
Chicago, IL 60611
Phone: 312-645-9300

The Virgin Megastore opens Saturday at 9:30am. The performance begins at 1pm.
The Virgin Megastore Marketing Manager provided me the following information:
1. You can begin arriving at the store as early as you want. The store opens at 9:30am. Once the sound crew are done with their set up, 20 people from the line at a time will go to the area where the performance will be. For the performance, the groups of 20 consist of with and without wristbands. Having a wristband for the performance does not matter, only after it.
2. Fans ONLY purchasing the CD at the Virgin Megastore will be given a wristband to wear. You can purchase the CD before the event and receive the wristband for Saturday’s event. The wristbands are on a first come first serve basis. At the time of writing this posting there is still quite a few left.
3. After the performance the fans with wristband fans will be first in line to get their CD signed. Once all the fans with wristbands have gone through the line, then fans without wristbands will go through and meet and greet the band. The goal is everyone gets to visit the band and they will do their best to meet it, however no guarntees for those without wristbands. At 4pm the LH are scheduled to arrive at the Chicago Theatre for their soundcheck.
4. Only ONE item per person: whether with or without a wristband, will be allowed for signing. You can bring an item with you for the signing. (Note: there is no guarantee that fans without a wristband will get their one item signed.)
5. Photos: photos ONLY of the band are allowed. Meaning you can take photos of them during the performance; however, you will not be able to pose with them such as standing arm and arm or one on one. However, if someone else wants to take a picture of you going through the line, that is allowed.
PRE and POST PARTY
BASE Bar (inside the hotel)
Hard Rock Hotel
230 N. Michigan Ave.
Chicago, IL
Phone: 312-345-1000

(Directions and Map located at URL: www.hardrockhotelchicago.com/location.html)
Pre: 5pm till 6:45pm
Post: begin to gather after the concert and band depart from the Chicago Theatre.
The Hard Rock Hotel is just around the corner, say 5 to 10min walk from the Chicago Theatre. Both the pre and post party will take at the same place.
Inside the hotel there is a bar called Base. According to Metromix.com on Saturday's it opens at 4pm and closes at 4am. Live music kick's off in the evenings. No admission charge. In addition to drinks, food can be purchased as well. According to Metromix, they have "two flat-screens airing VH-1", plus other adjective features. Let's hope Trees will air by then. That would be too cool.
Feel free to PM me or post to this board with any questions you may have.
Looking forward to see you this Saturday...
Take Care,
Sandy
