Spring Break
The PPC's Newest Pub Crawl Let's Drink for a Cause!

Special thanks to all the PPC crews who showed up, including the Michigan Party Girls (Renee, Jeaner, Erin, Pei & crew) who road-tripped all the way from Metro Detroit to Chicago just for this event, the Chicago Hash House Harrier's LaSalle Bank Shamrock Shuffle 8K contingent (who like me ran the Shuffle the NEXT MORNING but still got us rounds of tequila shots and whose crew included Ex-GM Michael, Nelanka, Rachel, Linda, Christina, & this Ivy character visiting from St. Louis), The Jen/ Michelle/ Carrie/ Stephanie et al gang of usual suspects who are my gamewatching wingmen at the Rock and Finley Dunn's, Heather our beloved graphic designer and who was the first PPC regular to show up, at Schuba's, the "Quarter's King" himself, His Festa-ness (with his Kellogg's Spongebob Squarepants cereal!) and of course Jill N. who's rallying from her a recent "sports" injury, TBOX Fixture The Ubiquitous Mr. Jeff Davis, Karin & Connie - The Infamous Dahl Sisters who covered my six at Mystic Celt, PPC Party legends Pave & Dam showing they're still in the game, YEH Kevin and Tom W., PPC pub crawl regulars Heidi, Alyssa & Andrea, as well as the seemingly inseparable comedy team of Pam & Sophia, my roommate Bridgot & my buddy Larry, KK and Gail who survived through the dancing at Joy Blue (although their wingmen Christine and Julie appear to have been taken out over the skies of Baghdad and Bruce who crash landed in the West Loop after taking heavy ground fire all night ), Old School regulars like Santeramo & Fitzie Micro Mahu along with fellow NIU alum Denise, and even Ebert Party J-Dog & Company who porpoised in and out of the event between Spring Break and Mike's parish pub crawl which was also on Southport and actually intersected Spring Break at Schoolyard Tavern, and hosts of others too numerous to mention but all contributed to the success of this event.

Gear up for the next major PPC event, the 13th Annual Chicago 4th of July Party coming Summer 2004!

And if you're into drinkin' for a cause like we are look for the PPC's next major Charity pub crawl, "Drinkin' on Lincoln 2004" coming in the Fall.

Hey folks, this is for all those who have been on our backs about diversifying out of our 12 Bars of Christmas and 4th of July Party routine. The first all-new PPC Pub Crawl since the first Clinton Administration.

Saturday, March 27 we're going on SPRING BREAK 2004!!!

Okay, so you no longer get a week off from school to roadtrip down to Daytona Beach and pile a dozen friends into a 2-person motel room with the bathtub full of beer & ice. But you can kick back and re-live some of the mayhem (sans the  sleeping on the floor!) on one of Lakeview's most popular pub crawl lanes - Southport Avenue!!!

Tentative Schedule: (Subject to Change so please check back before the event!)

Party with old friends and meet some new ones! Leis will be provided to each participant and wear your best Hawaiian Shirt! Dust off those late-Winter doldrums and THINK SPRING!

Cost will be $5 for the wristband and entitles participants to all the drink specials we've negotiated with each bar. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Racine County Women's Resource Center (a shelter for battered and abused women) and  to assist Wildlife Elks' Chicago Charitable Activities to help veterans, children and shelters.

This event is brought to you by the Chicago PPC in partnership with the Chicago Wildlife Elks.

The Racine County Women's Resource Center provides crisis intervention, advocacy, education and prevention services for a diverse population of victims or individuals at risk of domestic abuse and/or sexual assault, by promoting positive changes for individuals served and the broader community in Racine County.
