I'll probably walk somewhere for dinner (gotta do the cuisine while I'm in town).

 

However, I'll definitely be in Knuckles most the evening, not sure how I'd recognize anybody here though.

 

 

 

We don't usually go there. We gather upstairs at the Atrium Bar.

Well, I don't know if I can walk that far. :lol:

 

Any particular area? It sounds like you have a large contingent. ;)

We're easy to spot. Just look for a group of people with several tables moved together. Usually near the back of the bar (furthest from the check in desk closest to the stairs going down to Knuckles). Or just ask for the Soxtalk or WSI group. We all hang together up there.

Mom...i mean Steff...I'm in for the Houlihan's gathering, thanks for the email.

 

I'll be holding on to Steff's hand all weekend, as i have never been to soxfest before.

 

If there is an under 21 gathering, i guess i could attend even though i'm much older than that crowd, lol...the 3 people in my room are all under 21 anyway.

Good to hear you will be there Krush, it was good to meet you at the tailgate and it'll be nice to see you at the fest.

 

Maybe we can even talk some college hoops.

You're welcome sweetie.

 

I got a cool Sox leash for you... ;)

 

I assume this would be a good time for all of us to gather. Unless you guys plan on having one of those super secret underage hotel room drinking partes.. :ph34r: I think I read that SS5 offered to bring beer earlier in this thread..

Aboz, definitely look forward to seeing you there. There will be plenty of college hoops to talk...Illinois plays at NW on Saturday at 3:30, so i'll have to catch that game in the room.

 

I can't wait to see how tight Steff has this leash on me...

 

Under 21 people are welcome in my room to drink if need be

This will be my first SoxFest, but I'm not going until Sunday. Do the players that are listed to be there appear on all 3 days?

 

No they don't. Usually they appear for a couple of hours, for a limited amount of autographs twice a weekend.

<!--QuoteEBegin--> or you could just ride a train in and not pay to park ;)

Well, that was mostly for people that are coming from out of town.

 

Like me. ;)

I'm coming from out of town, taking the train in from Midway.... ;)

 

OK, fine...

 

That was for people who are driving in from out of town.

 

Ya pain in the ass... :bang :P

has anyone ever gotten the hotel package? if so, how is it?  I've only gone for sox fest never stayed in the hotel.

 

The hotel package rules. You save a ton of money and you don't have to go out into the freezing cold after staying up all night at the bar.

No announcement on schedule yet, but I have been checking in anticipation. I will be going on Saturday and am trying to figure out the best time to go.

 

Also, I received a bunch of Sox gift certificates for Xmas this year and SoxFest info indicates individual game tickets will be on sale at the fest. Does anyone know if these gift certificates can be used there or only at the Cell box office? Besides next Friday, what are the hours of the box office?
