Eaglewood Resort & Spa, Itasca, IL
The band, Soda, is playing at Eaglewood Resort in Itasca in the Prairie River Restaurant. They are a popular dance band, playing classic to current hits. The band starts at 7:30 p.m, and you are STRONGLY recommended to come early, since the band is very popular. I am going to get there at 6 p.m. and welcome others to come early to help me save tables. (Post in the comments below!) I have been told the Eaglewood will give us a table for 12, but most likely we will have more people. The band plays from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The bar also serves food. Check out the menu here: https://www.eaglewoodresort.com/prairie-river-menu.htm

No cover charge, but please plan to order something to drink or eat. Steve, the bartender and music booker, is saving tables for us, so do take care of him, so he continues to do so!

I look forward to seeing you there to dance the night away the Saturday before Thanksgiving!

UPDATED DESCRIPTION. I am opening RSVPs now, so you can plan. I look forward to seeing you!

Come join us for a festive celebration on Christmas Day! We'll be meeting at Lao Sze Chuan in Downers Grove with a tentative start time at 4 p.m. (timing may vary due to movie timing) for a delicious Chinese meal and then heading to see A Complete Unknown, a film inspired by the life and work of Bob Dylan at the Cinemark 7 Bridges in Woodridge.. It’s the perfect way to spend a cozy, community-oriented holiday with great food and company. The restaurant is able to provide separate checks. Everyone will be responsible for their own movie ticket. I will post in the comments when showtimes and ticket presales are available.
No-Show Policy:
To ensure a smooth experience for everyone, including the restaurant and our group, please let us know if your plans change as soon as possible. Due to holiday planning and the restaurant’s need for a final count, we ask that anyone unable to attend cancel by 11:30 p.m. on December 22. Cancellations after that time will be considered a no-show.

Group Policy Reminder:
As part of our group’s guidelines, if someone has two no-shows, they will be removed from Mixers and Minglers.. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in honoring this deadline to make the event enjoyable for everyone!

Looking forward to a memorable day together! Please RSVP to save your spot, and feel free to message me with any questions.
Happy holidays,

** NO COVER ** Get your FREE Reservations to attend HERE!
The event is free and doesn't need a ticket, but FitzGerald's requires an RSVP for guaranteed entry to the show.

** NO RESERVED SEATING ** - Get there early!

** PARKING ** Parking is available on the street with no permit restrictions or meters; DO NOT park in business or mini-mall lots or you will be towed.

SIDEBAR
With an extensive drink menu and a relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart from the typical pub or bar atmosphere, Sidebar is a great place to Mix and Mingle!

Food is available in the Sidebar from BABYGOLD BARBEQUE, a full-service American Barbecue restaurant attached to FitzGerald's. Check out their MENU.

The SEAN McKEE BAND
The Sean McKee Band is the 2024 WINNER of the Chicago Blues Challenge sponsored by the Windy City Blues Society and held at Buddy Guy's Legends. They are high energy Blues/Rock Band, mixing the styles of the Allman Brothers, BB King, Led Zeppelin, Tedeschi Trucks Band, and more into a genre medley that spans the sounds of low-down blues at The CheckerBoard Lounge to the blistering rock at the Madison Square Garden. Playing classic and deep-cut covers to original materials, it’s hard to believe a group of musicians younger than the age of 30 could emit the best sounds of a melting pot that inspires them, but doing so is what makes them an act you won’t want to miss!

The band's album "In This Life" was just reviewed by John Mitchell in Blues Blast Magazine (September 12, 2024 issue), and he concluded this about their high-energy blues/rock style...

"...the playing and vocals indicate a band with talent who may well go far in the blues-rock world." ~ John Mitchel of Blues Blast Magazine
