Yesterday, I was given a wonderful welcome to the Windy City by a contingent of the Chicagoland Rabble.

A special "thank you" to McFarkus & Auld Argonian for keeping me from getting a parking ticket by plying me with quarters & reminding me to check the meter (had 3 minutes left ).

We met at a wonderful Scottish Pub, the Duke of Perth. Recognized as one of the world's great whisky bars by Whisky Magazine, I was in single-malt heaven!

The weather was beautiful so we sat outside on their back patio quaffing a number of brews & enjoy the fine food. That's where the pics below were taken. I was having such a good time, I didn't take many photos. Brewboy took some, too, & hopefully he'll post those, soon.
