Chicago Girls - I have a ticket for an event tonig

[allibally]

I don't pop over here to often. Usually I stick to the international board. But I won tickets to a PrettyCity.com event in the West Loop. It start's at 6:30. secure2.interconsolutions.net/prettycity/party_planning.cfm?page=form&ev=291#

Anyone want to join me and get a goodie bag too? I haven't made any friends in the city yet really since our move. I knew there are a few Chicago girls here so wanted to pass on my extra ticket if anyone is free tonight.

Sounds like fun but that's bedtime for the twins

Are you from Zurich? Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch

Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch auch. My husband is German. He was living there before we got married. I moved there and we got married and then waited out the greencard process together.

Alli- did you go? What'd you get and how was it?!

[runforrest]

Alli - so cool!! We're going to Munich in September and I can't wait!

Did you go to the event? Was it fun?

I'm so excited there are so many Chicago ladies on here! We should all meet downtown one afternoon and go shopping!

Ummm, YES!

Although I do feel like shopping with this crowd would be a bad influence!!!

I would gladly be anyone's bad influence, haha. I'm really good at helping people justify purchases .

On the other hand, I'm also good at telling people when something is just not workin'.

We should plan a fall lunch/shopping GTG.

Great idea!

[allibally]

I went! It was pretty nice you got to pick a quick service. Chair massage, mini makeover, hair-do, polish change. If you have Instagram I have a few more pictures. Same name as here.

I got the tickets free. It would of been $20 otherwise. With a group not to bad to spend on a night out. If your alone it's hard to mingle with others.

You got a free drink, desserts were going around from the Austrian Bakery (yum!), and finger foods from Vapiano.

The gift bag was cool. I'll have to snap a picture after lunchtime.

There is another event in October I believe that has a free/pay option. I'll have to find the info card in the bag.

Allibally--You should have come out to meet us for brunch this past Sunday! I was in Chicago for a few days, it would have been nice to meet you.

I wish I could of made it to brunch! We had plans made sadly. I'm sure you all had a great time.

I've been to Zurich! I love it!

It was a great place to live. I personally think people overlook it way too often when they plan trips to Europe.

[runforrest]

thanks Mav! I've been there twice, but it was over 10 years ago, and with my mom, so I'm sure this trip with my H will be a much different experience.

I'm super excited for the beer, and we're buying the twins the German outfits (lederhosen, German dress) for Halloween...hahahahaha! They are going to kill me when they are teenagers!

I also agree about Zurich - it is SO gorgeous! I would love to live overseas.

Alli - sounds fun! Let me know when the next one is in the fall, I would go to something like that. If I hadn't been busy last night I would've checked it out. Glad you had a good time though.

I'm so up for a lunch/shopping GTG! Everyone here is so much fun, in person is even better

I'll have to find the card tomorrow afternoon!

I spent my afternoon window shopping today. Then was volunteering at the new Ronald McDonald house. So I haven't gotten a chance to pull it out yet.
