This picture about sums up Crapple @ J&R tap as Kelly collects raffle tickets, empty beer bottles, and silly prizes. A few more pix from that outing here.

Weekly Feature(s):

  • NPR Time Kill of the Week: Mold, a Major Residue of Katrina. This segment caught my ear because it introduced me to the term "moldsicle" (!!). If you don't know what that means check out this audio segment. 

     

    Mississippi residents in the areas worst hit by Hurricane Katrina are struggling to deal with mold in their homes. Private contractors are tackling the issue. So is the state. Mold can lead to respiratory and skin problems.

Of course college football Saturday would not be complete without a trip to The Union and Jager bombs. Did Michigan win that day?? I forgot.

WHAT DO I GET: MILLER LITE, MGD, LEINENKUGEL, WELL DRINKS, WINE, POP, STOLI, DRINKS, Mai Tais and food buffet!


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.

Please put this in your calendar!

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……

Suite Lounge - 1446 N. Wells St. (Wells and Schiller) Chicago, IL

This new venue, SUITE LOUNGE, may be easy to miss unless you know what you are looking for. The SUITE LOUNGE is located in Old Town, inhabiting the space formerly known as HOBO'S. You need to look for a black awning with a white "S" on it and the velvet ropes by the entrance. Once you find it, you need to go through a side door and down the stairs to enter the sleek sexy underground lounge with a soundtrack of house and trance filling the speakers at conversation-friendly decibels. SUITE LOUNGE is a unique and small place and lines form quickly later in the evening so get there before 10:00PM or you'll be waiting in the long lines.

Musical Chair Dinner at Club Lucky - A Chicago Italian Favorite

Tuesday, October 18th @ 7:15 pm

We will arrive in Bucktown on Tuesday to enjoy one of the city's most talked about and favorite Sicilian "Supper Club". The owners behind Club Lucky, who are Sicilian, believe in the old family values (Big portions, family-style service, reasonable prices and good cocktails). Most of their dishes have become signature favorites and are house-made.

We'll enjoy 4-courses: Fried calamari and bruchetta for appetizers, the famous Club Lucky Salad, a choice of chicken oreganato or penne marinara with mushroom and veal meatballs on the side. Desserts will be house-made Italian cookies and mini canolies with coffee or tea. Soft drinks are also included in the price!

I can almost guarantee more food than you can manage for an evening.

Come out and spend the evening amongst friends and even make some new ones. We will be seated alternately male and female and after each course the men will rotate seats. This is a wonderful and fun way to talk with all the dinner guests.
