Double Fisting A Playmate

When Chicagoist was a little girl, there were only two prizes we wanted to win at the summer carnivals: goldfish and those mirrored pictures with the band logo etched over them. While we always did well with the goldfish, and brought tankloads of the damn things home every year, our luck was not as fortunate with the mirrored pictures. Which is probably just as well. No eight-year-old girl should have an etching of the Van Halen logo hanging from her bedroom wall.

So this week's Chicagoist Drunkfest photo winner conjures up for us no small amount of jealousy - notice that while this swanky prize is not a mirror, it is glass, is framed appropriately in cardboard and reads "Playmate." Of course we're incredibly impressed with the creativity shown this week - it's not often that you see such a quick and clever set-up during an afternoon of drinking yourself silly.

As always, remember to take plenty of creative and not-so-creative pictures during next weekend's festivals and tag them with "ChicagoistDrunkfest" in your Flickr stream and we'll post our favorite next Monday!
