Last week Roundarch had it’s annual Summer Event, which consists of an all-night party and an all-day meeting with everyone from all of our offices in town to attend. It was great to see everyone that I work with in other offices and the party was so much fun. And the after party. The after after party, I can’t say… I went home at 2 and others were still going out for more! As for the meeting, it was actually pretty entertaining… not like the dry all-staff meetings I was used to at other places I’ve worked. Great event, Roundarch!

Shaun is in town from Boston and last night we went out for dinner at Twin Anchors and then saw the show Doors Open on the Right at The Second City.

Founded in 1932, Twin Anchors is one of the oldest restaurants in Chicago. It was Opened by the Walters family, who were affiliated with the Chicago Yacht Club and who gave the restaurant it’s nautical theme. Twin Anchors was a favorite of Old Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra, and has always been known for it’s tender, barbequed baby-back ribs. I don’t eat ribs .. like.. ever.. .but I will say these are some of the best ribs I’ve ever had. So delicious.. and go for the zesty sauce, not the mild. Shaun and I both ordered mild because we thought that the zesty would be hot. The waitress brought out both sauces for us to try and zesty was definately better. It wasn’t hot at all, just more tangy than the mild.

Second City is an institution in Chicago. This is the theater that launched the careers of John Belushi, Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, George Wendt, Tina Fey, and Amy Sedaris, along with many others. The show was 3 acts, the last one being completely improvised. So funny. I kept wondering which of the performers we would be seeing next on Saturday Night Live.

Overall, a great night. It was nice to see Shaun again. Oh, and this is about my one month anniversary here.. so a good way to spend it.

Did Someone Say “Free Drinking”?!?

January 25th, 2003 · Comments Off


Brett requested that my name be put on the calendar to drink free at Antarctica, so they put it on. I was the only one there drinking for free, of course, because nobody has the same name as me.


Brett, Rachelle, Tim.


Jessica somehow managed to finish a couple of these pint-sized mixed drinks.


Dennis doesnt like to get his photo taken, but too bad.


Typical Jeannette photo!


Jessica & Rachelle.


Mmmm. Pretzels. I honestely didn’t even have that much to drink at Antarctica. People paying for drinks were drinking faster than me getting drinks for free. They definately made money off my free night. I brought about 10 paying friends in that night.


After we’d had enough of Antarctica (really, how long can you stay at the TMP dive bar?), we headed over to the East Village where Joel and Shaun met up with us at some salsa bar. Shortly afterwards we headed over to Lava Gina, or La Vagina if you’re talking to Eric.


Christine & Eric. I think I may finally have a competitor.

Last night was my night to drink free at Antarctica. Thanks to everyone who made it out.. I had a great time!
