NYE 2016: Chicago
So this year for New Years Eve I went up to Chicago for the celebration. We wanted to do the new Chicago tradition this year called Chicago Rising. It is like the new New York Ball Drop but Chicago's version. It was along the new Chicago Riverwalk with a Chicago Star that counts down as it rises to the New Year. Pretty cool idea and it syncs up with the Navy Pier fireworks. We didn't make it as they made the tickets $200 when it was originally supposed to be free. It's alright because they actually ended up being late by 27 seconds. I remember being in the bar seeing it on TV for the countdown and it was already midnight.
Addis House: Me, Alex, Shelbs, Jasmine, Greg, Shannon, Cherish
Anyway, the crew for the night was myself, Shannon, Cherish, Greg, Jasmine, Shelbs, Addi, Krista, and Alex. We all went up to Addi's house near Logan Square to pre-game and hang out. I had about 7 shots (which is not normal for me) and was feeling pretty good. We made our way down to Logan Bar for the last hour to celebrate. Most of us were already feeling it and only bought 1 or 2 drinks + the free champagne toast for midnight.
