Chicagoist Thanks You

The first Chicagoist Happy Hour was a success! It was great to meet readers of the site and hang out with the creaters and contibutors of local sites we admire. Also, cool to hang out with Kirby, founder of our favorite designer toy store, Rotofugi. Oh, and the drinks were good too!

As promised we conducted Chicago's OFFICIAL Jays vs. Lays Taste Test. It was very scientific - turn your head, no peeking - and cleanse your palate with your alcoholic drink of choice between tasting each chip. After 5 beers it was a little difficult to keep the two chips on the plate straight but im positive we did it right and the winner is.... Lays by a 6-3 vote! We should have been having people do the tests all night long, as a bunch left before we started the challenge and a few people didn't want to participate.. but I think 9 tasters is enough to claim Lays to be the official winner.

If you didn't make it out, don't worry. Chicagoist is already thinking about where and when to have our next party!
