Sunday – Travel Day
Green Bay, WI > Chicago
Got into to Chicago around noon.
Took car service to hotel and got checked in.
Crazy low level clouds today… can’t even see the top of this building.
I needed various items, so I walked a few blocks to the largest and nicest Walgreens of all-time. It was 2 stories. What the what?
After I was ‘settled’ I met up with my friend Mike and we went for a late lunch at Lou Manaliti’s.
Oooohhhh the salad was just as amazing as I remembered.
In an effort to be more health conscience, I had the thin crust pizza as opposed to the traditional Chicago style. Please, for the love of God, never make that mistake! It was terrible.
Once we got back to the hotel we met up with our friend Steve and watched hoops for a while.
I was a good girl and went to bed early. Tomorrow is a long day for me.
Monday – Event Day
2013 PowerAde JamFest
New venue for the event this year – University of Chicago. Quite possibly the best venue for this event to day. Perfect size and aesthetically pleasing for TV.
This particular show is extremely challenging for me. This year I have a new AP – which is a little nerve wracking. Granted he is very good, but I have done this event with Alex for many years; however he was not able to join me this year.
However, Rich and I had numerous conversations and met yesterday to review everything and…. Drum roll please… We NAILED it!
Thank goodness!
Tuesday –Set
After reveling in another success, it was time to move forward with the next challenge. Today we had a partial set day at the United Center for the McDonald’s All American games.
Following the set day, it has been tradition for many years now for our crew to take on the event organizers in a hoops game.
I don’t play, but I am a supporter of our team!
Wednesday – Game Day
2012 McDonald’s All American Girl’s & Boy’s Games
Everything went great and I am pleased with another success with JamFest & McDonald’s – can’t wait until 2013!
