On behalf of the Chicagoist staff and Do312, I wanted to thank everyone who attended Saturday night's Drew Peterson: Untouchable viewing party at Liar's Club. Amy Cavanaugh wrote about what the real D-Pete thought of the movie, and Marcus Gilmer weighed in with his review of the movie at the A.V. Club. For us, the combination of Rob Lowe being miscast as Peterson, yet attacking the role with the campy relish the Lifetime production required, made for mesmerizing, but not good, television. Lowe apparently decided that Elwood Blues would serve as the baseline for his Chicago accent, with some of Steve Dahl's "Anthony" character t'rown in.

We also wanted to thank you for helping raise money and supplies for Metropolitan Family Services. We raised $224 dollars in cash and some of you brought board games, toiletries and other supplies which will be put to good use by the organization. You helped make the best of a surreal situation.
