The Charitable Life

The Eric and Kathy 101.9 The Mix Radiothon benefiting Children's Memorial Hospital was a success because of all of you out there in radio-land. We raised lots of money for the kids and had a great time in the process. Here's Eric and Kathy on the air

Well, that about it now. Please check my previous post if you are interested in some furniture, books, or other things (not including a gong we are going to keep because of a Facebook campaign not seen since Betty White).

So, we went with a few friends to Wormhole Coffee and they have a DeLorean from Back To the Future in the window. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but this got me in the shop...

Children's Memorial Hospital employee picnic. Can you believe I resigned from this place? Tons of food and fun all the time? And, during the worse economic calamity since the Great Depression? What an idiot...

Photobucket
Balloon animals. Nice

Bucktown Art Festival at the worst named park ever. Senior Citizen Memorial Park. Really? It's a park to memorialize dead old people in general?

Photobucket
A really nice art fair in general though

Megan had the Lamb Keema hot dog with lamb, English peas, cucumber salad, pearl onions and socca. Very good

The Southerner! It was great and for a great cause. Some of the proceeds go to Children's Memorial Hospital when purchased. This is not your typical hot dog stand. It's very gourmet and the prices reflect that. It's about $8-9 per dog. But, the many of the sausages are homemade and the toppings and bun are incredible. Check out their website at: http://www.franksndawgs.com/

That's about it. Megan got the ol' moving truck ordered and stuff like window ac unit, couch, rug, nightstand, bookshelves are going on Craigslist. There's also a bunch of books, clothes, more candles than you can imagine, and other items up for grabs. Let me know if you are looking for something and I'll send a photo or whatever.
