I talked to the Paramount Theatre in Aurora and they said there is a Comfort Suites about 2-3 blocks away with free parking. I did a web search on Comfort Suites and booked a room for ourselves for those two nights in Aurora. They offer a $10/night discount if you show tickets to the Paramount upon check-in. I mapped both the theatre and motel locations on Yahoo Maps and they indeed are very close. I think the location is great because downtown Chicago can be avoided.
Top ticket is not cheap in Aurora at $55/each before Ticketmaster's gouging. But to be able to see GL post-surgery is something that I think many of us long-term (30+ years) fans thought would not come.
GL has always been popular in MN and I would expect him to tour here in 2006. You're right.. life's good !!
