OK so I am signed up for this and regular pricing still in effect until the end of this month. I am not affiliated except by attending ...
This is going to take place at Roosevelt University and "dorm housing" is available for the week at 500 dollars.
I did not like the initial sound of the dorm housing but basically it means that a dorm room will share a bathroom with another dorm room but ( unless you are part of a couple ) but only one person in each "room". The guy doing most of the work coordinating things is staying there himself and he says its fine etc so thats what I will also be doing. ( Probably will take an air mattress along for me just because ... just in case ... also I always have a big white noise generator along ). 500 dollars for that option for housing versus probably up to 1.5 or 2 grand for ( nice ) hotels downtown chicago. It looks like 3k ish for me ( tuition and gas and dorm housing ) before other meals etc. Depending on expendable income levels sure its a deal breaker for many people but it is what it is.
It sounds like a lot of great songs taught and jam sessions "ensembles" and some playing out at various blues clubs around the area. Theres a track for blues guitar intermediate and advanced and a bass guitar track and a vocals and comping track. Seems like can mix and match across sessions that interest you to some extent.
I hope to see some more of my BGU people in Chicago! Yeah yeah video will be coming out eventually I am sure ...
