Awesome idea![edit]

This is an awesome idea! I hope it does well! --(WT-en) Evan 23:44, 11 December 2006 (EST)

I second that notion! Putting this one on the to do list... --(WT-en) Peterfitzgerald Talk 22:50, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Formating and Question?[edit]

I agree with Evan, this is awesome, but I did some formatting to get it in line with our Manual of Style. Also a couple of questions? You start in Boston and drive to New York, but you don't do anything in Boston. Do you plan to add activities in Boston? If not, why not start in New York? Also, this appears to be a driving trip, but the last day you fly back to Boston, what do you do with the car? Keep up the good work on this and thanks for your contribution. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 16:35, 30 December 2006 (EST)

Okay, I see the car rental now. -- (WT-en) Tom Holland (xltel) 22:00, 30 December 2006 (EST)
It's an itinerary. I'm going to make some changes to reflect this. I also think the Boston part of the trip seems a little odd. I'd drop it for more time in Chicago. -- (WT-en) Mark 16:43, 30 December 2006 (EST)

OK, thank you for the help. We will probably add some Boston jazz-related places (like Berklee school of music, where many modern jazz musicians developed their styles). -- (WT-en) Davidgmiguez 09:37, 28 January 2007 (EST)

This is an interesting itinerary that needs some people to adopt it (more than one, I think). As a jazz musician, I can help somewhat, but there's no way I can do it by myself. I don't know if any of the original WT-en users are still reading here. I'd love it if this could be turned into something good and featured on the main page someday.

Chicago[edit]

I'm thinking that the chicago visit should include a Wednesday, so as to coincide with the Empty Bottle jazz nights. Of course there's also festivals.

The Velvet lounge is very central to the AACM scene, so it's kindof a must-see. -- (WT-en) Mark 16:50, 30 December 2006 (EST)

Chicago - The Empty Bottle[edit]

I've been living elswhere for about 7 years now, so I think I'm a little out of touch. Has the Empty Bottle scene moved over to the Hideout? I notice that they're running a roughly weekly thing called the , anyhow if one of you could investigate I think it would help us bring the article up to date. Thanks! -- (WT-en) Mark 14:57, 8 July 2007 (EDT)

The Empty Bottle only does occasional jazz shows now, and there has been a move to the Hideout. [1] Good catch. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 15:46, 8 July 2007 (EDT)
