Description

There are jillions of festivals in Chicago every summer, but they all lack one thing - people in their pajamas. This injustice is being corrected with the First Annual Pajama Ride, a rip-roaring, rolling festival/parade in the most comfortable style there is. If you are taking part in the L.A.T.E. ride later that night, it is a perfect start. If you are not, then you are all set for bed.

Whatever you wear - t-shirt, underwear, flannels, nightie, footie pajamas, bathrobe or whatever, just bear in mind that we are stopping at public establishments and will be out on the streets. If you snooze au naturel, get creative and wear something suitable for you. Your favorite "loungewear" perhaps. Don't forget your slippers and nightlights!

Stops will be made at:

Hamburger Mary’s
MYSTERY STOP!
Corner Bar
Motel Bar
Bull & Bear
Crimson Lounge
Liquid Lounge

then proceeding to Grant Park for the start of the L.A.T.E. ride.

Meet up at Gannon's any time after 5pm, ETD is 6!

We will be departing from Gannon's at 6pm, so plan on arriving before then. I'll send out a final note to all "Attending"s and "Might Attend"s with final details.

What time does the ride start?
Comment by John on July 4, 2010 at 9:20pm
OK kids - the route has been set; just under 17 miles (before the L.A.T.E. ride) with plenty of stops along the way.

We will be meeting at Gannon's Pub, 4264 N. Lincoln Ave. (2 blocks south of Montrose)

Spoke cards will be provided, and prizes for:

*Best PJs
*Ultimate creative sleepwear
*Highest visibility


No special preparation needed. For those continuing on with the L.A.T.E. ride, we will meet up with the Midnight Marauders who are "auditing" the ride as we pass by the Dark Bar on Halsted.

Feel free to text or call 773dash454dash1835 for location/arrival departure updates if you want to join up along the way. This is just like the big airlines, but far more comfortable and fun.

A friend of mine once said, "I'm always looking for more opportunities to wear pajamas to work".
