Summer Pub Crawl 2007: Recap
Boozapalooza was a hot, sticky affair thanks to Chicago's lovely summer weather. Our party came near to wilting in the oppresive humidity but we soldiered on, hitting all of the designated pre-dinner bars, filling up with cool libations and then sweating them out as we trudged to the next establishment. We no doubt looked a sticky, sorry sight. But at least we all looked it.
Chicago's German staple for schnitzel, sausages, and sauerkraut--and that gigantic boot of beer--was a fine spot for dinner and dancing with German ex-pats to the musical stylings of the resident oompah band, and then it would have been off to Carol's for some end-of-the-night trolling-of-sleazy-bars--except Carol's was closed. Just as well since sleazy wasn't my thing last night. A bunch of us chose Huettenbar across the street as the location for our nightcap, and a fine place it was for an end to a fine day.
The festivities were really quite fun and made me realize just how much I enjoy this group of friends. Such a lucky girl am I. I can only hope there will be many more enjoyable group outings before CC moves back east and takes her party planning with her.
