There were numerous famous sightings the last few weeks! Here are just a few of those!
On Saturday around 60 people participated in the Twelfth Annual Dallas Becomes Chicago Pub Crawl which is done on the DART light rail system! There were fewer stops this year in order for everyone to have time to mingle and enjoy each bar more. The first stop was at Twin Peaks. Then everyone rode DART to CityPlace/Uptown station and then walked a few steps to the Rustic. The final stop was at the House of Blues. Many greats were sighted on the pub crawl including the Captain of the Fourth Ward – Tony G! (H.O.F.#147), Pete Krogulski, Ray and Nicole Hostetier, “Big” Tony Moreno, Kytari – the “Princess of McKinney Avenue”, Ruth, Byron, Tina, Eddie D, Erminio and Amelia Lalli, Bowie “Evel Knievel” Ballard and Lance “CD Source” Price! New Chicago transplants Justin Beck, Alyssa Marie, Justin’s dad and Kara Ober brought some added excitement to the throng of 60 partiers! A good time was had by all!
