Only Seven People Arrested At This Year's Twelve Bars of Christmas

Wrigleyville's annual monument to white-boy wasted, the Twelve Bars of Christmas—or TBOX, if you're into the whole brevity thing—reportedly yielded only seven arrests this year.
That's down from 11 people last year. Not bad for an area described as the "epicenter of nonsense" during a similarly debauched, alcohol-infused time of year.
The organizers of TBOX have promised more and more security, and, thanks to what the Crime In Wrigleyville and Boystown blog described as "a significant number of private security officers" hired at the festival's expense, order was maintained. (Organizers said they would triple security at this year's fest.)
That said, there was plenty of nonsense to go around, as two brave, stone cold sober, souls who livetweeted their TBOX experience can attest. ("Miss Fucking Arizona!"). If you want a blow-by-blow account that includes both an Elf peeing in an alley and a dude with nunchucks, head over to the aforementioned Crime In Wrigleyville and Boystown blog. They got you covered.
