12th Annual N. Halsted Halloween Costume Parade
Tonight I had the pleasure to celebrate one of the gay high holy days in my new home of Chicago by attending the 12th Annual N. Halsted Halloween Costume Parade. There is a parade that goes right through the heart of Boystown - love it!
And I met Mr. Rob Nelsen Lindley Magoo himself dressed up as Little Orphan Annie - How much do we love that? (lots)
Hope you enjoy the pictures and my costume!, so please feel free to comment.

Omar and Nate Berkus
Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting the very talented Nate Berkus who hosted an event at the Crimson Lounge sponsored by Out magazine, Chicago Home + Garden magazine and the quite smooth and tasty Basil Hayden's Bourbon.
This event decided the Tastemakers Design Chicago competition. Three top designs selected by Nate were judged by those who attended for a $10,000 prize to change the artist's trajectory in life. Nate won a similar type award from Vox vodka several years ago which helped launch his career.

My 1st Chicago Lakefront Bike Ride
For several years, something I've wanted to do is ride my bike along Chicago's Lakefront bike path on a sunny day.
Yesterday, my dream came true! I rode 7.5 miles south and then back for a total of 15 miles. On my return trip, I stopped in several places to take pictures.
Check out the pics by clicking here.
