Absolutely. However, weekends and cubs games can prove treacherous if you don't care for drunken suburban idiots screaming vulgar things at each other at all hours of the evening.

ALSO, across the street from Schuba's is one of the coolest stores in town. Uncle Fun.

Aside from all of that ... what led you to decide on the screen name you have? Just curious more than anything. RedLineBlueLine? No love for the brown or purple lines?

Exactly. I don't worry too much about neighborhood crime in Lakeview/Wrigleyville, but I do sometimes get annoyed at large groups of drunk people crowding and blocking the sidewalks and it's sometimes almost impossible to get around them.

And, Uncle Fun is a real treasure. So are its other locations, Big Fun (Cleveland) and Sister Fun (Minneapolis)... all the same owner.

I did! We all had a very fun, safe time. We missed out on Uncle Fun, but did eat right across the street at El Pacifico, which had great food, friendly service, and cheap prices. The show was amazing too, of course. I liked how intimate the venue was, and all the employees were really nice too. Chicago is much less rude than Saint Louis. Parking was a *****, but we had no problems with drunk idiots. Did anybody else get the chance to check out Astronautalis at Schubas this past Saturday?
