beautifying chicago!

First of all, thanks to the one thousand beautiful happy smiling faces that were part of the big blog launch party last night- too fun- so great to see everyone! (pics and video to come)

tonight i’m super excited to host the chicago flower and garden show kickoff party at navy pier with my good buddy from nbc anna devlantes, martin castro, donna la pietra and the amazing crew from the mayor’s office!

why? because I love anything that beautifies chicago (im a total nature boy).  I also think we all really need to get out and support these shows/conventions on a whole other level when they come to our city- as it’s tough out there- can’t lose them to vegas and other cities that are fighting for the income, action, tourism,… that they bring us- and I guess now, some are just canceling all together due to economic reasons— and we can’t have that?!?!  So if for some reason can’t make it tonight, stop by while it’s here between 3/7 – 3/15!  You rock-

(oh, and I think I am being made fun of in daily candy today? Or maybe that’s good press?  Anywho- for those that have been asking, sunda officially opens to public Monday (3/9) and you can get to info and reservations on the site sundachicago.com or click the logo to right- seeya!)
