Weekly Feature(s):

  • NPR Time Kill of the Week: The Masked Men of Mexican Movies. We put the spotlight on Mexico's obsession with wrestlers in masks. Bobb Cotter, author of The Mexican Masked Wrestler and Monster Filmography, takes us into the world of characters like El Santo and Blue Demon, and their silverscreen battles with fantastical monsters and villains.

Fridge Door Bonus Pic!

SOX WIN!!!

Here's a picture of the post World Series Game Four celebration in the "C" lot outside of US Cellular field following the Sox clinching their first World Series in 88 YEARS! It was just incredible to be there as the fine folks of Bridgeport turned out to party. Truly a once in a lifetime experience! More pix from White Sox Ground Zero can be found here.

Extra Bonus Pic! The CTA's special Chicago White Sox World Championship train cars 3311 and 3312 featured in Monday's Red Eye spotted @ the Howard Street station.  Festa spotted Chicago taxicab badge #1 but on 11/1/2005 I got to ride the newly redecorated car #3312 home from work the same day it appeared in the newspaper! 

Congratulations to the 2005 World Champion
Chicago White Sox!! 
 

Mark you calendars for our 9th Annual 12 Bars of Christmas on Saturday, December 3, 2005!
 

The lens cover wasn't completely open (the ol' Canon PowerShot A75 is slowly succumbing to massive overuse) but here's a shot from MUSA kickball's end of season party up in Milwaukee last Saturday night with my very good friends Fletch and Koobs. God I miss these peeps. Special congrats to Fletch on her recent engagement! A few more pix from this party can be found here.


Hey friends,

Last weekend proved that the Milwaukee crew still has game although fortunately Jager bombs and inadvertent appearances on the dance floor were minimized (unlike the Rush & Division Halloween pub crawl!). Special congrats and mad props to my former Milwaukee kickball teammate and good buddy Fletch on her recent engagement!

This weekend's headliners kickoff with the 20/30 Club's Fall Happy Hour @ Dark Horse in Wrigleyville, followed by a warmup for the PPC's 12 Bars of Christmas on Dec 3 as H3 Events takes us on a dry run through roughly six of the 12 Bars' venues on Saturday afternoon. Ten bucks for a wristband and specials @ each bar. Check-in is 2-4pm Sat afternoon @ Lion's Head (the old Alumni Club Lincoln Park on Lincoln). Here's what's on the board this week:
