| This year's event will be a little different
from 2002. Cubs game was moved to May due to the lack of ticket availability
(damn those brokers!). Also, to give more bar time, the Scavenger Hunt Pub
Crawl will start earlier as this has become the centerpiece event. The rest
will be essentially the same as in prior years (why mess with a good thing?),
continuing our new tradition (to learn more about the history
of this party, click here). And feel free to
check out pictures from last year's festivities at the links, above:

| The Current Lineup of Events: (Mark your calendars!) Click here for the 2003 Registration Form Saturday, May 3 2003: Afternoon. Cubs vs. Colorado at Wrigley Field We've secured a block of tickets to catch the Cubbies play at Wrigley. Pregame tailgate party at Fifield's rooftop deck a block away from Wrigley. It was a bit chilly but a great time was had by all. Click here to see pictures from the 2003 event shot by Fuji and Nora. Saturday, June 28, 2003: Evening Yacht Cruise on Lake Michigan. Once again we've chartered our own party boat, the Free Spirit to watch the sun set over Chicago's spectacular skyline! The price of the cruise includes the traditional three hours of Premium Open Bar. But unlike other booze cruises, when the boat docks, the party is not nearly over! Afterwards we've also charted buses (included in the event price) from the harbor to the post party at the Hangge Uppe (corner of State & Elm) to help get you to the party sooner. Drink and dance to tons of 70's and 80's music! Why the Hangge Uppe? The original party planners of this event were former bouncers there, who now claim “real” jobs in respectable financial institutions. Please note that this year's cruise is on a Saturday night (make it easier to get to) and will run later (7:45-10:45pm instead of the usual 7:30-10:30 so we can catch the Navy Pier fireworks while we're out on the lake) Click here for directions and latest cruise info! New! Pictures from the Cruise and Hangge Uppe are in! Thursday, July 3: Evening: Come join us in Grant Park for the best fireworks show in the Midwest, synchronized to the CSO in the Petrillo Music Shell! The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is one of the premier orchestras in the WORLD. Some of us who have the day off will arrive (very) early and reserve a choice location in the heart of the park. Like our Sunday volleyball outings, look for the big yellow smiley face flag. We'll be across from the Petrillo Band Shell which is at the intersection of Jackson & Columbus. BYOB - Please note, alcoholic beverages are technically prohibited in Chicago Park District facilities so use of good judgment (be discreet) is encouraged. Friday, July 4: Afternoon: Join the gang for a special midweek edition of beach volleyball at North Ave. Beach. Look for the PPC gang and our yellow "smiley face" flag. North Ave beach, starting around 2pm. In front of the boat house.
Saturday, July 5: Afternoon/Evening: THIS IS THE MAIN EVENT - The traditional Scavenger Hunt & Pub Crawl. This year's theme will be announced shortly. There will be eight bars involved, LOTS OF BEVERAGES, our signature Mardi Gras Beads, and a trophy for the Winning team. This will be an organized event and have all sorts of goodies involved. You don’t want to miss this event (TRUST US)! Click here for detailed info and directions, and the Pub Crawl Route Map & Schedule.After this we bid our fond farewells and head our separate ways, taking back home with us memories of good friends and good times... until next year! |
