1. Is he going to the one at Alpine Valley?

My sister's family (except her) are going to that one, but I don't know when it is.

Luckily, this year they bought the seats under the canopy, after doing three or four ozfests out in the yard and the burning sun.

2. The First Midwest Bank Amphitheater in Tinley Park.

Formerly 'The Tweeter Center', formerly the 'World Music Theater'.

8. My, that name rolls trippingly off the tongue

Hope he has or had lots of water and sunscreen. And a hat!

12. He has a black t-shirt, black jeans and hair nearly to his elbows.

He claims he'll be fine. :eyes:

14. Sunscreen, a hat

and water, water, water apply doubly then. And try to get him to pack shorts. Or at least wear clean underwear.

Oh, and can't forget Rosemont Horizon.

4. Ozzfest is a loooooong day, too.,......it usually starts at 9am

the first one i went to in 2001 was a hot day like today. they had hoses with water "misting" set up everywhere for people to stand under during that particular Ozzfest..

13. He's not going until around 3 or so.

He really only wants to see Black Label Society and Dragonforce.

6. NPR is saying 97.....

Big difference.

7. You are one kick-ass parent

mine never let me do anything like that until I was 18. So I had to sneak. He will have a blast!:headbang: :yourock: :headbang:

He is ROCK AND ROLL EMBODIED.

9. It will be something for him to remember

When he's gets to be an old fogey like me, the Ozfest he went to that was so damn hot. Kids can take this stuff, I went to a threeday musicfest when I was 17, the heat was above 100 each day.

11. Tell him to drink LOTS of water and gatoraide

16. Cool!

Tell him to sneak off and roam around where the busses are. That's what my son did at Ozzfest and he hung out with some cool bands all day. :)
