Day Seventy-One - 6.29.10 - The Cup Runneth Over

Today, The Stanley Cup made its way to Daley Plaza, and after an hour wait in line with my friend Paulie, we got up close and personal with the greatest prize in all of professional sports. It is more glorious than I ever could have imagined and well worth the wait...

Day Fifty-Three - 6.11.10 - The Parade

The Blackhawks organization (including the front office, Hawks legends, friends, family, trainers, coaches, and the players themselves) was proudly on display this morning and afternoon in downtown Chicago. An estimated 2 million fans flooded the loop to see a championship celebration, the caliber of which this city has not seen in a very long time, if ever. I was lucky enough to for the championship caravan to travel right past my office, and I was able to scurry down to street level and secure a good vantage point near the northeast corner of Michigan & Randolph. I'm not normally one for parades, on account of the clowns that usually linger about... but this one, this championship parade, it was just fine with me.
