Good thing I was already not planning on going to the TPI. Now I just need to order my AAW ticket just in case.

Chris I never got back to you... but maybe we should preorder AAW tickets, just in case all 20 people who were going to TPI decide to do that instead.

I would do it if you plan on going. Just get GA.

I think the draw of Danielson will get the place close to sold out. Although he will be in Chicago 3 times in September (AAW, DGUSA, ROH).

Can you do it via their website? I should do that then

If you want I can since you picked up DG, then we can just figure out if someone owes more for either.

How the hell would I get down to AAW? I have NO CLUE where that is. But yeah, I'm getting my DGUSA GA ticket on like monday or tuesday when I get paid. I would definitely go to Smackdown in Chicago with Punk as champ, too bad it's Raw.

1. AAW tickets can be purchased off their website in the Events section.

2. AAW is out in Berwyn, which is like 10min from me. So if you can get out here, I could get you a ride. There's also a train station in Berwyn. The last train leaves there at 12:08. AAW normally gets out around 10:30/11ish.

3. Smackdown is in Rockford on Tuesday.

Pete swing through downtown and pick me up! I'll buy you a hot dog.

IS TPI still going on? I heard IWA-MS is seizing operations?

Never Remember, Never Regret!

They gone.

Oh well, I really didn't want to have to find a way down to Joliet two days in a row. Dragon Gate FTW.

Major Chris, I seriously do not know what our plans are for the weekend. I don't want to say "Yeah, we'll be there to get you!" if we're like... watching Michigan in triple OT or we're in another direction or whatever. But I'll try to coordinate our plans soon and we'll see what's up. I know we want to hit downtown onw day, but I think that will be Sunday.

I'm going to fucking cum all over myself at the Dragon Gate show.

dibs on not sitting next to him.

I need to look into changing hotels now that TPI is done.

Areas that I should be looking at for ease of getting to AAW/DG/Chicago fun?

I don't know about the rates for the ones around Midway, but as I was looking for hotels around the Berwyn area (where AAW is), most of them were no name motels.

That is a Holiday Inn Express near Midway that will be 20-30min from both AAW and the Congress.

AAW tickets ordered. Let me know if you need me to look for hotels, or more importantly sweet sports bars for the game!

Glove City

So who in the Chicago area knows a bookie? Because I want to lay some clams on the first weekend of the NCAA.

And yeah Derek, if there are any awesome sports bars we can hit, that would be appreciated as well.

Chris, I just picked up AAA maps/books for Chicago, so I think I will look into hotels tonight/tomorrow. If yo ufind anything, feel free to save it and hit me up, and I'll come over tomorrow or something and we'll figure it out.

Whoa.. that Holiday Inn is like, double the price of the place we have. We may be looking at a drive, but I'd rather that than pay 129 a night instead of 70 a night.

Generally I go to this place for UFC events due to their monster screen. Its a huge place though. Its like 4 bars in one. Food is pretty good too. Free valet parking as well.

What night do you guys wanna hit bars? You all should REALLY come out to Wrigleyville. Awesome sports bars for daaaays.

Also I need to know whats up with getting DG tickets at the door. Its Thursday so there's no way I'm ordering them online and expecting them to ship to me, there's also no will call option. I want that commemorative Bryan Danielson ticket dammit.

I haven't heard about that situation. Philly, there was speculation it sold out, which worried me here.... I can't believe there is no will call, or any local store that is selling them. The venue maybe?

Just copped them over the phone. They said if I ordered them online they would've put them on will call automatically, yet there is a $5 shipping charge on there so obviously they would've pulled a jip move on me.

I am down to hit up Wrigleyville! We went to the Cubby Bear and some of my boys got into a giant brawl with the Los Boricus.

Glove City

Haha there is so much to do up there, I dont fuck with the Cubby Bear because I always feel like I'll have a problem with my (super-official) fake ID there. I hope we run into CM Punk so him and Pete can hang out and not drink together.

haha yea. well I will be. Loading up the cooler and heading down tomorrow, might be checking out a super bluegrass group, Split Lip Rayfield tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Glove City

What are you gunna do all weekend? Im only going to DG so I need partying partners.

tomorrow is up in the air, we will be in town later in the afternoon. Maybe check out that show. Saturday, Michigan game somewhere and AAW. I am ready for some windy city partying though. ha

Glove City

YOU FUCKS HIT ME UP I HAVE NOTHING TO DO TONIGHT!

A sticky thread for months and no one has anything to report about the shows this weekend?

Yeah, that's ironic.... but like, we all went. So there's little need for a recap of what we all saw together.

In fact, I may have been next to you guys the whole time at DG.

Fair enough, I've just been reading up as much as I could since I got stuck working. Will not miss the November Philly show though... been mulling over getting a pair of front rows while they are still available.

two guys with Zug and J shirts?

And for a recap... I thought DG was very good. I like how they seem to give equal importance to every match, because four of those 6 could have main evented easily.

haha, exactly. We stayed in the same spot, it was a really good view. Dude in the J shirt was my buddy who had never been to an indy type show.

I thought the show was very well executed. It was cool seeing some of the AAW guys out there after seeing them in action the night before. I got handed a flyer for "Lucha Va Voom" on the way out. I guess it's Lucha Libre w/ strippers, I'll be headed to that.

And Cassandro... who is real sweet.

Did you see the guy right in front of us, last row, who was a HUGE Davey Richards mark? He was hilarious to watch

Yes, that guy was awesome. He was jumping out of his seat and nearly having an orgasm over Richards.

Hah. There was a few comments about family being in full effect at DG.

And yes, it was hilarious seeing AAW people doing security for DG.

I told everyone you guys stood next to us because you could smell the Juggalo on us.


I think at one point Derek said "famiy in the house" or something to that effect. Good show, good times. The Davey Richards guy was right behind two legit Japanese dudes yelling NURUUUUKIIIII DOIIIII the whole time. Ah, memories.


The party I went to after was epic too, damn you kids for running off.

We were looking at gimmicks. I have no idea where you went.

Ran with Derek to grab my camera from his car, and to snag my friend to head to that party and lost track of you mofos.
