Weekend Update

It's taken a few days to recover, but we made it! One of the busiest "work weekends" this year. Friday night, AM 560 WIND hosted "Dennis Miller-LIVE" at the Soifetel O'Hare. Close to 500 listeners came to enjoy free food and hear Dennis speak. After the main event, a V-I-P party was held for clients to meet Dennis. I worked with Dennis and his people from Westwood One(the people who broadcast his show from CA.) to get him to all the right places on time during the evening and Danielle worked her planning magic as she does so well.

On Saturday, Dennis sang the national athem at Wrigley Field and enjoyed the Cub's game. After the game, Dennis joined us for "Rockin' For The Troops, " a benefit concert to raise money to send everyday items to our troops abroad. Over 8000 people came to the concert to see Big John Howell (WIND Mornings 5a-9a), Dennis Miller, and Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band. It was a long evening for us, wrapping up at 11pm.

On top of it all...The Derks family was in town to help D's brother Geoff move into one of the empty bedrooms in my place. Geoff is waiting to hear if he will be hired at a church in Huntley, so it works out for him to be close. After more wedding talk, and a nap, we had a Backyard BBQ at the house to wrap up the weekend.

Can't wait to see what next weekend is like!
