Clown Invasion.

Clown Crawl.

After seeing Rambo yesterday afternoon Nick and I decided to catch the NHL All-Star game at Finley Dunnes with the idea being low key. All was going well until about 40 minutes into the game when 4 masked, menacing looking guys walked into the bar, made a B-line for the back and one guy walk straight up to me. I assumed that it was a robbery for a split second, especially since Josh (see photo below) came right up to me and attempted to ‘take me down’. After breaking is chain necklace I figured out who he was and all was good.

Over the next 10 minutes, about 50 clowns piled into the bar and things got interesting as you can imagine. One clown passed out in the middle of the bar and the rest just started yelling ‘Clown Down’ and throwing confetti on him. Before the clowns showed up there was probably 4 other people in the bar. As you can see in the pictures the vibe changed dramatically. The clowns traveled via school bus to top it all off.

For our first New Years in Chicago Julie and I headed to the Bears game on Sunday.  When we bought the tickets this summer we assumed this would be at least a decent game.  The game was all but meaningless, No Reggie Bush, No Brian Greise, No Rex Grossman.

On New Years day during a 12 hour football watching marathon James engineered one hell of a Turkey Fry.  In less than an hour we had one of the better turkey’s ever tasted.
