These were some of my favorite photos from Chicagoist’s First Birthday Happy Hour.

This morning the Chicagoist staff & their families got together at Wishbone for brunch. I was nervous because we were a big group and I was afraid they wouldn’t seat us, but we went early (10 am) and I got there even 15-20 minutes earlier than that to give the Wishbone staff a heads up. They were awesome. 13 of us plus 2 babies were seated in 15 or 20 minutes. And our waitress was great. And the food there is awesome.

I think this is the largest staff get-together we’ve ever had. It was cool to get almost everyone together in one room. Aaron took a photo that was unfortunately 1) after Kevin, Dexter and Leah left and 2) very bright. Still, it’s nice.

Oh! And, since I sat in the middle of the tables, I got to talk about both cigars and babies!
