My first stop was at the One Man Chicago launch party at Rockit Bar & Grill on Hubbard Street. Finally, something for the guys! During the event, it was explained that One Man Chicago is a unique event series where men between the ages of 24-44 enter to compete for the treasured title of One Man Chicago. With a panel of expert, influential judges, the winner who displays the best perspectives of community involvement, intelligence, personality, and fitness will receive $5,000 to split with his favorite charity. Now, I had absolutely no intention on entering the contest. However, somewhere between when I was stuffing my face with a hamburger (don't worry, I won't go into a big girl rant) and when I was introduced to Carole Brown, former CTA Chair and Sue Leonis of Blo Dri, I was convinced by both women to sign up. I'll actually be representing Carole's charity, Chicago Public Schools Arts Education. I'm super nervous. The only two people who I think will vote for me are my parents and that's still no guarantee, so please stay tuned in as I keep you updated and vote for me!
