Pub Crawl - Sat. Nov. 3rd 7:30

For those of you doing the Race of the Dead on Saturday morning, we will be sticking with the Mexican theme for the 6th annual fall pub crawl Saturday evening.  The pub crawl will start at 7:30 at Buffalo Wild Wings in Orland Park, and includes Casa Margarita as our flagship bar of the evening. If you’re planning on eating, get there earlier and order food right away, as we will depart around 8PM sharp!

For first timers: This is not a race… we all participate together and move at a very comfortable/slow pace, so no one should feel they can’t keep up. Plus this year all places are within ¼ mile or so from the next one (mystery location included).

If you would like to join in but cannot make the start, you can call Carl’s cell: 630-854-6266 or Rich’s cell: 630-697-1499 during the evening to find out where we are going to be so you can meet up. If you coming out late to meet us at the end, go to Harrison's.  We should arrive there around 10PM. If I’ve missed anything or you have questions, just comment on the blog under this post. Hope to see you all there.
