southsider2k5 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Saturday evening, hotel guests and SoxFest attendees are invited to stay for a party featuring a Beatles cover band, Twist and Shout, with Kelly Wunsch and Jack McDowell scheduled to make a guest appearance. For more information or to make hotel reservations, call the SoxFest hotline at (312) 565-0769. For more details, visit whitesox.com or call the White Sox at (312) 674-1000. It's too bad pa won't be there. And actually I have seen Twist and Shout a few times now. They are top notch when it comes to tribute bands. They did a great show two years ago, where they played the entire 1964 Comiskey Park concert. It was good stuff, and I highly recommend any Beatles fans who have not seen these guys to go. It is a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great time. Pass. We have a group going out to dinner and Jilly's after the days activities. Mike... you and Angie should join us for that. I'm sure you'd enjoy the company...

The Critic Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I guess if I'm not on there I could always riot. Oh SURE Aboz, feed the media!!!! "Another lunatic Sox fan goes insane..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Anyone who is staying at the hotel for the 2 night stay, have you heard anything about the private autograph session???? Just got word that it's Loaiza and LaMarr Hoyt. Oh joy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Just got word that it's Loaiza and LaMarr Hoyt. Oh joy!! LOL, why would that be a private session. Loaiza signs for everyone at every home game. What a joke. Guess I'll have to find Mark B around the hotel for some signage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Only if you wait there with me. We saw him and Jim Parque come in a few years back, drunk off of their asses. We actually hung out all night at the hotel that night without paying for a room. It was a ton of fun. But since I have a room, I will be sleeping in my warm bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Seriously, I doubt you'll have trouble getting his sig. Steff, from your experience, are there any guys that would be tough to get to sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Steff, from your experience, are there any guys that would be tough to get to sign? Frank and Maggs are the hardest. Their lines fill up way before they start signing. you have to get their early for them. Everyone else isn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Steff, from your experience, are there any guys that would be tough to get to sign? I don't get them the conventional way.. but if I had to guess none of them are too difficult to get. That's pretty much what they are there for. Try to make sure getting them while still IN the fest though.. once they go into the bar they really don't want to be bothered. Are you going to be joining us in the bar..?

It doesn't hurt to have a hot chick with you either.. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else isn't too bad. I've already got Frank on a ball and Mags on a mini Sox helmet. I've got several Buehrle sigs as well, I just wanna get him to sign the jersey I got for Christmas so I can get it framed to hang in my house.

Just a guess, but I would bet ELo will be among the hardest to get this year, just based on the year he had last year, and the fact he has never been to a Soxfest. But that is just a guess.

Rex Hudler Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Everyone is invited... well, almost everyone. So wil the bar be the stage for a Royal Rumble between the groups from SoxTalk, WSI and World Crossing or will this just be one big love fest? I can hear it now. "And in this corner......."
