howdy folks -- my brother and i are chicago-bound for the larry arms 10th anniversary show, and i'm trying to connect with some chicago folks who'd let us crash with them on oct 24 & maybe 25 in exchange for a place to crash here during the Fest, be it floorspace, a couch or a tent in the yard. my place is a straight shot (bike lane) to common grounds, atlantic, wayward, 1982, etc, about 10 minutes walking to common grounds (20 or 30 drunk, but a straight shot, no less - no turns to miss!) or a three-minute bike ride.

we're nice kids, honest. we'll do dishes, chip in on your preferred intoxicants, and return the favor in one short week.

if anyone's down to consider it, please gimme a shout, or pass the word along to someone you know who might be into it. the few kids i know in those parts have gone AWOL, and as long a shot as this is, i figured it worth a shot. hell, who knows, we might even like each other.

that's my pitch - you can e-mail me at oakandpine@gmail.com, or on here, so please get in touch if this might be possible -- basically, any help is appreciated.

thanks, and one way or the other, cheers... take care,

jon
