Chicago Webmasters Get-to-gether: Blues night.
Saturday, November 13th.


First off, due to people canceling because of the Webmaster Access Show the following weekend, we don't have a bar booked for the evening. Instead, to make sure people still had somewhere fun to go and something everyone would like, I'm picking the Kingston Mines Blues Club as the meeting place. We'll see how many people show up, there were more than two dozen registered and I did not even post the registration page since people were canceling because of the date.I will be there with my girlfriend, but I'll send her packing once people start showing up since she has to get up early. The club can get a little crowded but it is very large with two long rooms of blues, I've been there plenty of times and it shouldn't be a problem getting everyone at a big table. It's loud but not too loud, you can definitely talk some business. Cover is 10-15 bucks.

There's plenty of food there, and I will be buying lots of kamikaze shots for anyone who wants to come.

Depending on how many people show up, we can decide if we'd like to stay there all night or head a few doors down to shoot pool, or hit up the punk rock bowling alley on diversey (the bar is open till 2am also).

If you are going to come, please drop me an email at hctmarketing@gmail.com and let me know.

My cell number is 630-404-3009 feel free to call anytime to find out where we are in the club, if your lost,

or whatever. I'll be wearing a black shirt with white pinstripes, tan pants and probably my slick little silver glasses. Just drop me a call when you get there.


Kingston Mines
2548 N. Halsted, Chicago
Tel: (773) 477-4646


Starting at 8:30 pm. There will be live blues going till 5 am.

Description:

Get down and dirty at this funky blues joint located in a neighborhood with a reputation for getting down and dirty in a different way—Lincoln Park. Two stages in separate rooms crank out live blues seven nights a week. Bands are always top notch, and the crowds go crazy over groups like Chris James & Blue Four and Jon Primer and the Real Deal Blues Band.

To top things off, Kingston Mines’ mouth-watering menu is packed with of Southern staples like fried okra, fried catfish and barbecue ribs. Vegetarians will fare well too—try the cheese quesadillas or angel hair pasta with marinara sauce.



How to get there?

If you are in Chicago obviously cabs are the easiest, or, take the Red Line or Brown Line to fullerton, go a block east to halsted and head north. It will be on the left side of the street, across from the "B.L.U.E.S." club.

If you are driving check the address on mapquest...they have valet on the weeknds, or you can park at children's memorial hospital parking garage for only 10 dollars on the weekend. Take Lake Shore Drive to Fullerton exit, there's only one way you can go on that exit (west...unless you'd like to drive into the lake), keep going for a couple miles and take a left (south) on Lincoln Ave. The hospital parking garage will be on your right side, can't miss it.

If you are going to be too drunk to drive home, in Lincoln Park there is

the Belden-Stratford
2300 N. Lincoln Park West, Chicago
Tel: (773) 281-2900

Or there are plenty of hotels downtown, I'd suggest the Hilton or the drake.

Or if you'd rather just stay up all night and sober up with some coffee, there's a place called clarks very near by that is open 24 hours. I will be up for partying all night long.

Again, please drop me an email at hctmarketing@gmail.com to confirm you are coming. My phone number is

630-404-3009. My icq is 328-524-801 (pushpills).

Hope to see some of you there!

-Steve
