re: meetups within the event
I'd suggest 12:30am at the very back wall of the main (1st) room. This will be long enough after the 12 midnight mayhem and before BT hands over the mixing duties to Ferry (@1pm). ...if you all would be there earlier, maybe plan something else . . . I'm working the g/l until midnight though, so I won't be able to say 'hi' before then.

re: booze
you can take your booze outside of the Sky Lounge if you're of age and drink wherever you like!! YEAH! ...just don't try to pass it off to anyone under age . . . the venue security probably wouldn't like that very much

re: more tickets
yes, tickets will be made available tomorrow at the door. Obviously, the big rush will be to get INSIDE before midnight, so everyone will be planning accordingly and arriving early. If you do not have a ticket, I strongly suggest getting there as early as possible. It most likely won't sell out, as the venue can hold up to 7000+ I am told. However, if it is cold, you may not enjoy waiting in the line. We'll be doing our best to move it quickly, but bodies still take time to get in, get organized, etc.

another suggestion may be trying to get to one of the 2 Another Level retail store locations (5505 S. Harlem Ave, Chicago)(191 W. Gold Rd., Schaumburg, IL) before they close at 6pm to get even cheaper presales.

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE -- REMEMBER TO BE SAFE
and we'll see you all at THE BIG BANG
