Last time Hawkwind played in Chicago, it was at the Park West, which
is not a bad venue at all.  I would guess that it is the same size or
maybe even a little bigger than the Metro.  I have a couple of friends
here in Chicago that used to work in some of the clubs here doing
bookings.  I can talk to them to see what I can find out.
