Chicago Blackhawks Appreciation Night at Rockit Wrigley for my Social Media Friends!

blackhawks, chicago, Homepage Feature, Uncategorized

Remember when I shared these personal pics (that got 250,000 views in 24hrs) the night I was w/the Blackhawks when they came home w/the Stanley Cup?! The team came straight to Rockit first, threw me in their bus, we hit the town, and we ended the celebration w/the most memorable party ever at The Underground at 4am- just hours before the celebratory parade downtown!
It is all so obvious that Chicago loves their sports teams and we were beyond thrilled to celebrate w/the Blackhawks and the champion cup they so rightfully earned- and I just want to continue the celebration and invite all of my Facebook and Twitter friends to Rockit Wrigley this Thursday, Feb 24th for a Chicago Blackhawks Appreciation Party! Starting at 7pm let’s all cheer on the Hawks as they take on the Predators….I’ll have ticket giveaways, food, drinks and Blackhawks.. Will be fun!

This is how you RSVP….

Crazy weekend from Blackhawks to Cubs/Sox… and as you know, I always try to share the chicago behind the scenes here… so enjoy a quick look at some of my pics… from pre-parade celebration last Thursday night that all started at rockit.. until 5a yesterday morning!

And btw, sorry to all who couldn’t get to see the cup in Wrigleyville after the game as the players had texted me they had planned… said the city/cops felt after last weds it could just get way too mobbed w/cubs v sox crowd on top of it all…probably right… thank you players for letting me know as soon as rerouted w/in minutes of game ending (which I immediately forwarded on to all on facebook & twitter) so didn’t have to wait around… you all rock… sure everyone in chi will see it this summer all over town.. as it’s “a chicago thing” now! look at some of my pics

join kiss fm, time out magazine, vh1 & the rockit ranch crew for a crazy kickoff to tonight’s blackhawks game six of the Stanley cup finals!!!!!!!! “You’re Cut Off” premieres tonight on VH1 taking 9 self proclaimed “princesses” who have lived nothing short of blessed lives and simply cuts them off. No money, no pricey belongings, no swanky living accommodations… and makes them work like hard working chicagoans like the shows host, my long time chicagoan buddy laura baron! (clip above hilarious!)

laura, who’s been featured on NBC, CNN, Extra and quite a few others, is teaching these young ladies how to grow up, take responsibility and live outside their perfect bubbles of decadence. A true Chicagoan, Laura chose her hometown to celebrate the premiere of the show at her hometown fav Rockit Bar and Grill tonight from 6-9pm…. And we are psyched to kick off this crazy victorious chicago night with her and the vh1, timeout, kiss fm crew & you!!!!!!!

blackhawks, celebrities, chicago, General, nightlife, sports, Video

Just had one of the coolest experiences ever and wanted to share with you!! Check this video out of me picked to “shoot the puck” on the ice at united center sunday night during the blackhawks game 5 of the Stanley cup finals in front of 22,000+ screaming fans!  And on such an important game!  One more win to go and we break the longest current Stanley cup drought of 49yrs!

As you see in the video, my buddy billy bush from “access hollywood” thinks its going to be game 7 (fyi if so, he’s flying back and the 2 of us are throwing the after party- follow me on twitter for the details!), but I think its going to happen game 6! They are on fire! go blackhawks!!!!!!
