The Queen + Adam Lambert tour kicks off Thursday night in the “Windy City” of Chicago with many ALLers taking in the opening concert. The atmosphere will be electric as we wait to see what Q+AL have planned to entertain us. If the iHeartRadio appetizer is an indication of what is to come, we are in for a moveable musical feast!
And a special thank you to mlg for again providing such beautiful posters for each concert thread!
Enjoy the concert and the chat!

Wow, Beautiful poster! The excitement begins! Thanks AL
From luval
Have a fantastic time, all you lucky people in Chicago!
Love the postermlg The gold stands out. You are sooooo good. This is exciting.
Gorgeous poster mlg! You outdid yourself.
And thanks for the update luval. Keep it up. Through you all we are living the opening concert and all the festivities surrounding it vicariously.
That’s an AMAZING poster mlg! You keep topping yourself again and again! Simply genius!
The Toronto girls arrived later than planned but they’ve landed safe and sound.
I’m thinking of everyone in Chicago and I know that you’re going to have a great time!
Details, Dinner, what you all ate, what you all talked about, any Adam sightings, you know, the usual!!Have fun everyone! So excited! beautiful poster!
Brilliant poster mlg! They all are though!
You are so talented, and the passion for your art comes through. You can feel it!
Well, it is all starting, and I got goosebumps just thinking about all of you that are meeting & going to the concert.
Can’t wait for all the re-caps and video, and photo’s. With this large of a group, a ‘close encounter’ just might happen!
So we are here at the restaurant Soaked to the Bone! The rain is torrential but we had to make the five minute run in time for the reservation. M & P, Little Dutchess and the Duke, Funbunn and her family and the infamous asif clueless! She’s a doll! Waiting for the waiters! Did not bold names as I would screw it up!
Hi luval!!
So good of you to take time out during the fun to keep us up to date!!
Sorry about the rain but I’m sure it hasn’t dampened anyone’s spirits there!
Have a ball!
So now we know

Guess that suit was a not-so-coded message – lol.
Was there cherry red involved there somewhere? Have to go back and look.
You guys in Chicago might want to try and catch this.

This is funny –
I love that Adam sent out a dress code for the tour!!
From bumblebees to gaudy chic, or just gaudy!
I didn’t bring any red, but I may have some of the other categories covered!
Such a gorgeous poster mlg, but I got to tell you that in person!
I’m so thrilled and blessed to be here with my ALL friends in the windy(and rainy) city.
I met mils, Jojosie and her daughter, angelowal, adamaddict, funbunn and her family, apal, mlg, and asif and her family!
I hope I didn’t leave anyone out.
What a wonderful treat to finally meet some old friends!
Dinner was lovely and loud, with lots of laughter, good food, and good company!
I’d tell you what I ate, but I don’t know!
June 19th is here!
It’s finally here!
Thanks aely for the heads up on the TV show.
I can’t imagine the fun you are all having already….keep the updates coming
Remember London HK Fan!
Love that poster mlg!! Love it!! Love it!! flove it!!!
All of you going to the Chicago concert have fun fun fun!!
Sweet Spectacular Chicago-rific Concert Dreams, ALL!! Especially those lucky ones attending the concert! (sorry – this wouldn’t post last night!)
So finally the time has come! And the universe is mad at me, because my lap top went Black This week, is under repare for two weeks and I have to do all the fan girling by phone
But that’s better than no connection at all 
I love “Love kills” so much that it kills me…
Have a great time in Chicago/behind the screens tonight
Hi rs….
…..but if I’m honest, I was so nervous about meeting everyone. I need to do it again, I’d probably be more relaxed next time!!
I do remember London
Good morning! Heading down to the free breakfast buffet at the hotel. Mils had a post dinner get together in her suite. Lotsa fun. Got to know MLG better. Great gal. So let’s see what the day brings. Probably a nothing boring day. Nothing ever happens on Thursdays.
Sooo nice to see you Lady North! Hope your laptop gets fixed soon!
That Windy City tv interview may not be on. Obama news conference will be on in a view minutes.
Date night. Queen + Adam Lambert and Chicago

Here baby. All checked in and ready to go. Yay
Just got off the phone with luval. She and nkd are sharing a hotel room and they’re both just about ready to go! United Center Arena is about a mile away from where they’re staying and they have to catch a shuttle bus at 6:40pm Chicago time to get there.
It’s starting to get started!!
Well IF they start on time, its only a little over an hour for me PST, I am really hunger for dinner!!!!
So far Miss Chaos, it looks like we’re going to have to settle for a Ritz cracker instead of a full dinner.

My fantasy opening of the show.
Let’s see if I’m even close … probably not. Most likely not.
The pounding restrains of “We Will Rock You”. Queen can vamp those opening bars
foreveruntil the applause starts to subside a bit.Then Adam makes his entrance by walking along that extended ramp singing the song. Similar, if not the same, as the EMA’s.
Then the rest is history.
Hi HK fan!
Thanks for those photo links!
Adam is the only one whose face is shown. Queen uses their emblem.
I can’t imagine what Adam is feeling right this moment.
Well, I kinda sorta can but it wouldn’t be proper for mixed company.
Or coming out in a purple outfit, or better yet that leopard one, no gotta be leather and spikes, I guess we wont know for awhile RON, unless someone decides to give us some help. While I sit here with 2 laptops, ipad, and iphone. I need something ya know
Sorry my bold for RON, hit a snag.
Dear Miss Chaos, you don’t need to apologize for something like that because I do understand and I do it all the time.
Well RON we do have to entertain ourselves with something right!
Its so quiet, what could anyone possibly
be doing???
Yes, and so far, it’s just you and me. But I couldn’t be in better company.
AWWWWWWWW!
Looks like we will be without dinner tonight – so I’ll be going out to eat and will be back later tonight. The TALC ladies are there so we should get videos. Can’t wait to hear from our friends there once the concert is over!
Well since no dinner, I am eating Trader Joes, frozen orange chicken, and some Mad Housewife wine to wash it down, how that sound!
I’m here! Sending oodles of love to all of our ALL friends at the Chicago show tonight!
Have a blast and I CAN’T WAIT to hear your reports!!
*sitting here with my heart in my throat*
FROZEN orange chicken?
I think you should defrost it first, no?
I’m off to have a Ritz cracker.
S-O-O-O looking forward to the comments from our friends who were there on this opening night.
