WEATHER FORECAST
Weather outlook is good right now, it looks like a nice spring day, low in the 50s, high in the 70s. Might be a bit chilly at night, so wear a light jacket.
SOME TIPS ON HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THE BLUES TOUR:
1. If you wait 20 minutes at a club and there’s no music, get on the next bus and come back later.
2. If there’s an empty seat — get on the bus!
3. If the club you’ve arrived at is overcrowded — get on the bus!
4. If your friends couldn’t get tix for the same departure as you, of if they arrived late — meet up later at Catcher’s Inn, Rosa’s, or Wabash Tap, where there are special music features, and which are ‘hubs’ of the shuttle routes.
5. Don’t try to outsmart the tour — the bus schedules are intended to move people around, but NOT for point-to-point travel. If you just keep moving, you will get to a lot of clubs, but if you try to ‘force’ going to the clubs in a specific order, you may end up seeing less music and spending more time riding on buses.
6. Around midnight, start figuring out where you want to end the night (for most of you this will be back downtown at Wabash Tap). You should try to start working you way toward your final destination at midnight. At the end of the night, all buses return downtown, but if everyone is jammed into the same locations, there will be delays while buses shuttle back and forth, so help us out by keeping the crowd distributed. (see #3 and #2 above).
