Was there anything fixed/planned for Friday night?



I only just found out that I perhaps could indulge my obscure musical taste at FitzGerald's in Berwyn ...

eoe, This will be my first time at the Belden Stratford, but it looks like a classy place with the ambiance of much earlier times. Looking forward to it, and I'll be in walking distance to Lincoln Park with all their offerings.
Another good thing is the accessability to public transportation.

Are you sure it's Friday, Walter? Fitzgerald's calendar has them listed for Thursday, May 31st.

Bus stop right on the corner. The lake right across the street. It's a great location.

I wanna see/hear Lurrie Bell. What's the best way to get there from N Lincoln Park West? It's about 10 miles as the crow flies from Mapquest.
He's on at 8:30pm on June 1.

CI, if you come here Friday afternoon I'll take you to the Botanic Gardens and then to Evanston where we'll meet joe for dinner before walking over to Bill's Blues for his show.

Are there any reservations to be done?

c.i., at what time (~9am ?) shall we meet wandel? (I'll be on the boat trip afterwards, then catch the train.)

Not unless we eat somewhere fancy. Unless it's graduation weekend (I'll check) we shouldn't have a problem getting in anywhere.
