Hey Friends,

Thanks to everyone who came out for the PPC's Summer Flagship event last Saturday night, the PPC's 7th Annual Post Air & Water Show Party. I think it will be time for the 12 Bars of Christmas before I finish cleaning up Party Central tho! This weekend we see Summer 2005 winding down with the last Jammin' in the Zoo of the year, as well as we saw the last Chicago Outdoor Film Festival flick this past Tuesday with Star Wars. I guess it's almost time to put the ice scraper back in the car. But before then there's plenty of Summer left. Here's what's on the board this week:
