Musical Chair Dinner at a New and Fun Mexican Eatery - Zapatista

Wednesday, September 28 at 6:30pm

Hey guys join us in the South Loop as we cross the border & try out one of Chicagoland's newest Mexican restaurants. Authentic Mexican cuisine in the South Loop?  That's the basis behind Zapatista's developers.  You'll find it warm & inviting once you step through the doors and the food is something to come back for time and again.

Sit and enjoy a 4-course meal and musical chair style dinner.  We will start with an appetizer: Zapatistas own table-side guacamole and chips. Next we will have the House Salad. For the main entree we will have a choice of chicken fajitas or a grilled salmon. For dessert we will have coconut flavored flan.

If you haven't made it to a musical chair dinner, this is definitely one to try.  And if you have made it in the past, you know how great these dinners are and do not pass this one up!

Hope to see you all there!

Hello Everyone,

Quickly reviewing the Chicago sports schedule for Friday, October 7th.  Cubs no game, Bulls no game, Black hawks, no game, White sox...keep playing like crap and no game, Bears no game.  My friend Bill who tried to pick up a girl at the last Happy Hour, NO GAME! :).  Since there are no conflicts with sports and not any big parties or street fests to speak of, I'll see you all there!  I think we chose a great place which will hold a ton of people.
North Beach has bowling, video games, volleyball etc.  And it holds up to 800 people.  The Tiki bars will be open along with the main bar.  Ryan See will be back to play some tunes for us which is always fun!  This is the first time we are having it at North Beach so it has been dubbed the "Beach Ball". 

It is closer to the Gold Coast and Old town.  So those of you that think Lakeview is a suburb can dig deep for the six dollar cab ride and make it there!  I know it's not a swanky downtown bar full of really cool guys with expensive cars and pinky rings but once you adjust to the smell of us poor folk you might like it :)  As for the rest of us, Have you found someone you truly like or have you settled??  These happy hours are full of single people looking for true love.  There are also those who would truly love to be tied to the bed post for the weekend:)   Maybe you'll find both. 

The charity this time is for two children's organizations which provide alternative activities and support in the fields of art and music to children who don't have the opportunities we had growing up.  GET THERE EARLY!!  See you then.

Friday, October 14: Hurricane Relief Fundraiser / Party @ Trace

So the same question keeps popping up these days – when is the next Party???   Well, since the tragedy in the New Orleans area, seems only fitting we have a fund raiser…For anyone who has spent some time down on Bourbon Street and/or been on the receiving end of some Mardi Gras beads (you know who you are), let’s raise some $$$ to help get that town back on their feet. 

Please put this in your calendar!

Friday, October 14th, 2005 (still wedding season so we are staying away from a Saturday night)

8:00pm – 11:00pm

$30.00 all you can drink ($5.00 per person donated to charity)

Trace – Upstairs Party Room

3714 N. Clark St.
773-477-3400 

In addition to raising $$$, we hope this party gives you a chance to meet new people – so, be sure to invite someone new to the crowd….

We will also have a “Split the Pot” raffle so bring a little extra cash….Hopefully this date works for you!  John Corry promised to pick a different Friday in October for his monthly party J……

Hope to see you there!
