Chicago: All Stars!

Celebrated our return to Chicago this week with a few of our favorite things:

• FIERY FOOD: Thai food at Me Dee with the stars of Anxiety Acres (Mike Ayres & Heather Rush)
• FRENZIED FUN: An NYC Midnight 48-hr screenplay contest (Deadline Sunday at 12:00am EST)
• FINE ART FRIDAY: Our friend & fave artist Danny Hein took us to a couple of art openings.

At the Packer Schopf Gallery we saw paintings & photos by mother/daughter team Ann & Maria Ponce, family members of Chicago Tonight host and local celebrity Phil Ponce.  Danny is a big fan, and, when we asked for a picture, Mr. Ponce was a class act and a gentleman.  Then we went to a cool eyeglasses store / gallery space in Wicker Park where we met Chicago artist Tony Fitzpatrick.

Here are some pics from our art-filled night:
