For we are young and free

Australia Day in Chicago is coming up and the Consulate is abuzz with the news that a big party is planned at The Cubby Bear, a rather dodgy bar next to Wrigley Field.

Sponsored by the Chicago Aussie Rules club (yes, there is one), $35 buys you four hours of drinks and food and Aussie music and dancing. Phew!

And given that parties are what you make them, so we are getting behind this one and though we have to pay, our funds ensure that we are entered in the raffle to win a return trip to Australia or one to London. Not bad prizes, I'd say!

I am dragging Caroline along as my date, but she's quite willing to check out the Aussie male talent so I don't believe she needed too much convincing.

Aw I'd so love to be coming to this party with you Gab! We'd dance to Khe San and every other crazy Australian song!

Have a GREAT time and remember to take your camera.
