A quick recap of what is quickly becoming the largest bar crawl known to Wrigleyville: Nearly 4,200 people showed up for 12th Annual Twelve Bars of Christmas (TBOX) bar crawl which dominated all of Wrigleyville throughout the day (and night!) on Saturday. People dressed as gorillas dressed as Santas, Miller Light cardboard boxes specially crafted into Christmas-like sombreros, and more elves than the North Pole itself dominated Addison, Clark, and Sheffield throughout the day. And yes, it did start at 10 am. Luckily though, everyone came prepared - to stave off the early morning hunger, boxes of cereal were abundant. Hang onto those boxes throughout the night and you're guaranteed to be able to last all night long (especially with the really sugary kind...my favorite being Lucky Charms). Note the Capt'n Crunch sprinkled atop Zack's beer in the picture... no this beer-in-cereal concoction is not typical of TBOX; however, an interesting twist on the cereal concept that is famous to the bar crawl. And yes, we got in early for this grand event. Of the almost 4200 people, my number was a very low 52. I took part in the festivities last year and knew it was going to become an annual event for me. So, add TBOX to the list of MUST DO things in Chicago during December. That is, if you can handle beer and cereal at 10am.
I only wonder how many Santa hats and snowflake decorations were strewn down the road early Sunday morning...
