Harlem Avenue in Lyons, IL. 39TEN will be the location for post-show activities on both Saturday evening, March 26th and Sunday evening, March 27th, immediately following each day of SHIMMER DVD tapings. Obviously since everyone will need to get some rest in preparation for Sunday's taping, Saturday night will be more scaled back, with the "real" afterparty at the end of the weekend on Sunday. If you appreciate 39TEN's service and atmosphere for our afterparties, and would like to see 39TEN remain our afterparty location in the future, please give them your business after the show each night and grab dinner there. It is through giving them our business that they continue to sponsor our events. 39TEN is just 2.3 miles from the Berwyn Eagles Club. To get there from the venue, all you have to do is make a left on Ridgeland Ave, a right on Ogden Ave, and then a left on Harlem Ave, and 39TEN will be on your right. 39TEN is very close to several local motels, including the Presidential Inn (3922 S. Harlem Avenue in Lyons, IL), which is literally next door to 39TEN, for those who don't want to drive to a motel from the afterparty. It is only 2.1 miles from the Rodeway Inn in Lyons. 39TEN will be fully staffed for the post-SHIMMER festivities, with a full liquor bar, as well as food prepared by Fabulous Freddies Italian Eatery, which is attached to 39TEN. You can view their menu at http://www.freddieson31st.com/ (their main location is in Chicago). Come and party with the wrestlers and your fellow fans at 39TEN Lounge after SHIMMER!
