A Day with the Stanley Cup and the Blackhawks

The day of the rally my friend Charlie and some pals from Park City and I made our way down thru the madness (quite easily to our surprise ) to the Hyatt where Rocky Wirtz and the Blackhawks were hosting a private post rally party. I was making my way to the restroom as all the Hawks started to enter the building. Having worked with these guys for past two years, it was so fun to get a minute to give a celebratory hug or high five to the guys I know best. And while you would think that after 48 hours plus of celebration these players, coaches and owners would have been dragging or tired of talking about the win … but they were all gracious and equally as excited as we were. I had my very own moment with the Cup which I will never forget. It has been an honor to work alongside the Blackhawks as they grow their notoriety and popularity through hard work, great decision making on behalf of management and a camaraderie between the players and fans that is truly special.

Good job Hawks … we are proud of you!!

Chicago Magazine’s 10^th Annual Summer Lovin’ event is THIS FRIDAY (June 18) from 7:00 – 10:30 p.m. at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Each year, Chicago Magazine (an All Terrain client) showcases Chicago’s 20 most outstanding singles for 2010. This year the list includes Cubs pitcher Randy Wells and Chicago Red Stars women’s soccer player Natalie Spilger, among the other notable singles in Chicago.

I was honored to be chosen as one of the 20 most eligible single people in the city and suburbs of Chicago by Chicago Magazine in 2002. It was great exposure for All Terrain! I met great people through the process and when the edition came out I did get lots of attention from friends, family … people on the street even stopped me to ask if I was the person in the magazine! And I guess, most important to the concept, I got asked out on a ton of dates!

All proceeds of this fun annual event go to the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute.

My Maserati goes 185…I lost my license now I don’t drive

This past Friday, friend and client, Jordan Parsons of Treasure Hunters Roadshow, and his girlfriend, made the trek from Athens, IL to Chicago to attend a 30 Seconds to Mars show at the Aragon Ballroom. The show was amazing and the crowd was wild! Throughout the set, lead singer, Jared Leto encouraged fans to mosh and crowd surf, at one point welcoming the first 10 (which became more like 100) crowd surfers to join him on stage. Leto even walked into the crowd to perform several songs, suspended and supported by long-time All Terrain friend, production manager, Marciano Agabon. Before the show ended, special guest, singer-songwriter, Mat Devine of Kill Hannah received a birthday serenade by Leto.

After watching the show from backstage, lead singer, Jared Leto, brother Shannon, and crew, were escorted by a few All Terrainers to a secluded Chicago street where Jordan handed off his keys. The stunning, carbon-fiber interior Maserati was a key element of a film Leto was producing and starring in about a “bucket list” of things to do before you die. Driving a Maserati (let’s just say fast), of course, was one of these things.

Along for the ride were several other All Terrain friends and clients including folks from Harrah’s Casino, T-Mobile and Portfolio Hotels.
