Reason #561 why working at All Terrain rules:

I received the below email from Kevin today, politely petitioning our blog to promote the day of reckoning.

I mean, who says ‘please’ when dealing in doomsdays? Too kind, Kev. Too kind.

Ask and ye shall receive:

Buckle up, y’all. The sands of time — errr, this widget — are sinking.

Supposing, if only for a moment, that the Mayan prophecies are correct, how does it all go down?

Is Earth merely a casualty of an intergalactic battle between dragons and unicorns? Does a robotic incarnation of Gallagher appear in the clouds and smash the planets with his sledge? Or perhaps the clock is off by two months and we’re all toast following a Cubs World Series win?

The possibilities are endless.

Leave us a blog comment, Facebook post or tweet and share your finest intuition on the coming crack of doom. We’ll feature the finest forecasts here tomorrow.

Zoom Baseball’s Finest Donate to Chicago Police Memorial Foundation On Tuesday, January 4 Chicago’s Finest baseball team presented the proceeds from last summer’s charity baseball game against Chicago’s Bravest to the board of the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation. The annual cops vs. firefighters baseball game was a big hit this past August 21 at US Cellular Field with about 5,000 people in attendance. All Terrain was proud to be a co-sponsor for the event. We helped with media relations and brought our friends at KISS FM and Chevrolet in as sponsors as well. In a thrilling finish, CPD’s Finest defeated CFD’s Bravest 8-5 with a 5-run rally in the bottom of the eight inning. Of course, the police and fire memorial foundations, which split $13,000 in proceeds, were the real winners. Pictured are members of the CPD Memorial Foundation, members of Chicago’s finest baseball team, myself (3rd from the left) and representatives of Gold Coast Wellness, another sponsor. In case you missed the game, you can view a video of pre-game festivities, or a photo montage from the game. Next year’s game will be on a Friday night in September, under the lights at US Cellular Field. - Kevin

Support Sustainable Gardening at Urban Harvest 2010 on October 9

If you live in Chicago, you have probably seen the occasional empty lot filled with rows of vegetables. There’s a burgeoning “grow local” movement here that encourages these kinds of farms, and one of the biggest in Chicago is City Farm. City Farm is a sustainable vegetable farm bordering Chicago’s Cabrini-Green and Gold Coast neighborhoods. Each year, it’s got 30 types of tomatoes as well as beets, carrots, potatoes, gourmet lettuces, herbs and melons. All produce is grown in composted soil generated from local sources, such as kitchen trimmings from some of the city’s finest restaurants. Such a good idea!

So when my friend Jeffrey Smith asked me to help promote Urban Harvest 2010, a benefit to raise awareness of City Farm, I was happy to help! (Incidentally, Jeffrey is on the event committee, but he also works at Enesco – the company that once brought you Precious Moments and has about 40 gift brands, including “Cherished Teddies.” Something tells me this is not an adult lingerie line. I’ve asked for a Cherished Teddie and I’ll let you know what I find out.)

Urban Harvest will be Saturday, October 9, and is held on-site at the farm at Clybourn and Division. From 4 to 6 pm there are contests and games designed for kids, including hay rides. From 6 to 9 pm there will be music, beer, wine, soft drinks, and appetizers from Piece, Dinoto Ristorante and Vie Restaurant.

They’ll also announce the winner of first “City Farm Green Cuisine” Award, recognizing a Chicago-area chef who’s cooking and recycling techniques support City Farm’s focus on sustainable urban gardening.

Admission is free for kids under 12. Tickets are $35 for adults and $10 for youth aged 12-18. Proeeds benefit the Resource Center, the nonprofit that operates City Farm. Tickets are online via Eventbrite or call (773) 821-1351.
