Weekly Feature(s):

Fridge Door Bonus Pic!

Seen on Newport between Redmond's and Johnny O'Hagan's and just had to get a picture of this. Speaks for itself.
 

Special thanks to the over 400+ revelers who joined us for our largest 12 Bars of Christmas EVER!! We don't have an exact count because we ran out of wristbands for the first time ever! Hope everyone had a blast and mark your calendars for our next pub crawl, the PPC's 2nd Annual Spring Break coming in April 2005!!

Pictures from the 2004 PPC 12 Bars of Christmas can be found here.
 

Here's a picture of the infamous "TBOX roving picture frame" with my wingman for much of the crawl, Tracy (center).  MANY people had their pix taken with that thing. More pix of this blowout can be found here - Album #1 / Album #2


Hey friends,

Hope everyone survived TBOX 9 last week! Mad props to His-Festa-ness for throwing yet another wipeout and kudos to his buddy Tracy and her friend Laura who I think were the only folks crazy enough to do all 15 bars with me (we did all nine in the round robin rather than six of nine!).

Okay, so I'm a little late with the Hannukah greetings this year, mea culpa. But this weekend kicks the holidays into gear with the headliner being a return to Wrigleyville for Lisa Hogan's holiday party at Casey Moran's (3660 N. Clark) - a really cool venue and $25 open bar package from 7-10pm. Proceeds benefit Multiple Sclerosis and Miller will be there with various promotional stuff too. I'll be there with bells on!

Saturday is holiday house party mayhem as many parties move off of the first two Saturdays in December to avoid the PPC's 12 Bars and TBOX. Feel free to give me a jingle if you're looking for one as I know of several. Here's what's on the board this week:
