On Thursday night I went to Tech Cocktail 2 with everyone from FeedBurner and also Joanna and Hanna from Chicagoist. I was double representin’! Eric Olson, who sits about 10 feet away from me at work, is the cofounder of Tech Cocktail. He and Frank put on an awesome event. We had free drinks all night and limo rides home.

I was really nervous this week before the Chicagoist party. For a while a few major things started to feel like they were falling apart, but in the end it all turned out great and went off without a hitch Thursday night. No matter how many sleepless nights the planning causes, these events we’ve been having have turned out great. Lots of fun. I love giving back to the readers this way and every time I see all of our staff coming together to make the event happen and then there to enjoy it, I get a little sappy. We really have come a lonnnng way since early 2004 when I’d just moved here and Jake was asking me “Hey, would you be interested in starting a site like Gothamist but for Chicago?” I can remember he wanted to start right away and I asked to wait til I came back from Hawaii, which that trip was another life-changing event that took things in a direction I never anticipated. So much has happened, so much good, over the last 2 years, but things I never imagined when I was sitting in a UHaul driving across the country with Jess. Thanks to everyone who has been there for me these past few. I know I don’t say it as much as I should!

I think her’s is the only McDonald’s in Chicago that doesn’t have the Shamrock Shake right now. If it will make you feel any better, Hanna, the shake wasn’t very good. I agree with the commenter who said it tasted kind of orange. Still, I drank the whole shake. Good thing I only got a small!
