Pub Crawl Details - Sat. Nov 14th

This is the event you've all been training for when you're not running. November 14 marks the TTT 3rd annual Fall pub crawl. This is a nice way to finish off a successful season. Everyone is welcome to participate whether you're a seasoned veteran or someone who has only been out with us a couple times (except for Ashley who always has an excuse why she cannot attend). Also, spouses and significant others are welcome too. Note that while typical pub crawls in the city consist of walking from bar to bar, in true TTT fashion, we apply that concept to the suburbs and run what would be considered a warm-up pace from bar to bar (no one is left behind, no competitors in this event). Figure not much more than a 1/4 mile or so between bars, 5 stops total.

Here's the details for those who may join up at different times throughout the evening. Per tradition, we start by kickin it old school at Paddy B's (143rd & the tracks). Be there at 7:00PM sharp. If you're planning on eating, come earlier. At 7:30 we depart to a mystery location by orders of the Skull Master. He would like to treat us to an outdoor beverage in appreciation for all our hardwork this season. From there we go to Casa Margarita (151st & LaGrange) at 8:00 and indulge in margaritas and chips. At 9:00 we're off to Bar Louie (144th & LaGrange). At 9:45 we move on to Granite City (by popular demand) where we wind down the evening.

Note: for those wondering what to do about transportation/parking. One idea is to park on Ravinia near 143rd by Fox's. This allows you to be close to both Paddy B's where we start and Granite City where we finish.

It sounds like there is a lot of interest, so I look forward to what should be the largest pub crawl we've ever had.
