It was a beautiful day for a ride on Sunday. Thousands of bikers, or “Bi-Wheeled Americans” as Jay Leno said, were out en force participating in this 25th Anniversary Harley Davidson Love Ride.

The day started early for many, as the day’s festivities started at the Glendale Harley Dealership. The celebrity press conference started at 8:40 AM. Lorenzo Lamas sang the National Anthem to open the conference. Jay Leno, Robert Patrick, Peter Fonda, Oliver Shokouh, and Willie G. Davidson, former Guns n’ Roses Bass player Duff, and Lorenzo Lamas were there to kick off the ride and tell everybody how excited they were for all the riders participation. Many of the celebrities there were not there just to be there; they were there supporting the cause of helping children in need and many rode their own bikes to the kick-off.

After the Q101 Block Party was cancelled on Saturday, September 13th, several bands decided to head over to the Cubby Bear to play a free show for those who were 21+. Sick Puppies and Ludo were the only major acts that played the show. MSI rumored that they were going to play but didn’t actually show up, bummer. Anyways, here’s my interview with the Sick Puppies:

For those who have not heard of Yelp it is a social network that allows you to blog about events, restaurants, bars, and just about anything else you can think of. Usually Yelp’s events are only open to yelpers, but this event was to be Yelp Chicago’s BIGGEST OPEN PARTY EVER! When I heard about this event I had to see what the dilio was. A friend of mine is part of Yelp’s Elite so we got to get in on the action an hour before it was open to the public. There was so much free food and drinks to go around it was insane. The beer of the evening was Becks, other vendors included; Venus, Palermo’s, Sura Thai Bistro, Thai Urban Kitchen, The Spot, Dine, Friendship Chinese, Diosa, Berry Chill, TCHO Chocolates, Bleeding Heart Bakery, Sweet Collective, Marked for Dessert, Henna Shop, Urban Lift Hair Salon, Massage by Bloom Yoga, Strange Beauty Show, Exhale Spa, Rain Vodka…and so much more! The invite said food would be “appetizer style” but you should have seen some of these portions! There where ginormous bowls of Pad Thai, penne pasta with veggies, bigo cupcakes from Bleeding Heart, plates full of shelled muscles with marinara sauce, pizza, whopping cups of yogurt ice cream with your choice of fruit toppings, and a ton more! And one of the best parts of the evening was the Burlesque Show by the Flaming Dames.
