THE DALLAS SEEN:
As usual many of Dallas’ most prominent were spotted on and off the Avenue! Many great sightings occurred two weeks ago at the Dallas Becomes Chicago’s group Decades Pub Crawl through Victory Park! Here are just a few of those sightings!
Thanks to the 128 paid people who registered for the Pub Crawl! It was a great turnout on relatively shorter advance notice than usual for our pub crawls. The pub crawl began at the Hard Rock Café, where Ray “The Cruise Director” began his excellent job of emceeing and calling out winners for our awesome prizes! The other hosts of this first November pub crawl for us were Tony G!– the Capitan of the Fourth Ward, “Chicago” Pete and yours truly!
After a great start at the Hard Rock we headed to Hooters, which despite our warnings to the bar was pretty packed already. However, they found a section for us and more merriment commenced! Then it was off for a side splitting funny time at Dick’s Last Resort! Most of us were in stiches as we laughed so much wearing the silly hats that the wait staff mounted on our noggins!
Finally, it was the ultimate place as usual to wind it down – the House of Blues, where management and staff just love us! We had group pictures taken on the stage.
Oh and who were some of those prominent who showed up to party down? They included Mark Roux, Randy “The Enforcer” Wright, Ada, Erminio, Connie Weston, Melanie and a rare appearance by Maggie Shonsey! It was definitely a night to remember as everyone had a great time!
