'Hoods #15: Lincoln Square Sept 10 2011

'Hoods Lincoln Square was certainly the drunkest 'hoods we've had. So far.
I planned this one to coincide with their German Fest. So, yeah.

Participants: Kelly, Julie, Bill, Jeremy L. Tom joined later for beer. John and Christine met us for the parade.

Highlights: baumkuchen for breakfast
     -visiting Dankhaus. And running into that guy in leiderhosen in the elevator
      who asked us what we were up to with those packets. When we explained
      he offered to take us up to the levels that weren't open to the public.
      Also? The near rooftop balcony! 'Hoods magic! We later saw him again
      in the parade and lost our minds! His name was Martin!
     -starting the drinking at the Huettenbar
     -sausage and beer and pretzels at the fest
     -the German American parade!
     -that dude with the hat with the majestic feather who offered to, um, tickle
      us with it. You know. For good luck.
     -shopping on Lincoln
     -Louis Sullivan!
     -back to the fest for more beer!
     -when Bill ran into a parent from his school and he had to keep it together
      and pretend like he wasn't raging drunk.
     -the rooftop at Gene's for more beer and German snacks
     -being so drunk and tired at the Brauhaus that we barely directly addressed
      each other while we ate dumplings and kraut.
     -that chunk of the Berlin wall at the el station

We also just generally like to eat and drink in Lincoln Square.

this set includes some pics from Luella's Southern kitchen, which I highly recommend.
