We’re trying to get a rough headcount for the ROBOCOP shuttle on Saturday, September 5, with pickups at Reggies and ⚡️Electric Funeral Bar⚡️

We just want to get a general idea of how many people are planning on taking the shuttle so we can give Reggie’s a good idea of what to expect.

No pressure whatsoever if you’re planning on getting to Chitown Drive-in yourself.

Reggie’s is always awesome about supporting the community and providing transportation to concerts and events around the area, so we just want to make sure we’re not messing up their schedule and adding an extra trip that isn’t needed.

SHUTTLE PICKUPS:
Reggie’s 7:00 PM
Electric Funeral Bar 7:15 PM

If you think you’ll be taking the shuttle, drop a comment below and let us know roughly how many people will be in your group.
