Gatorade's "23. Then. Now. Forever." Event

M o n d a y , J u l y 1 3 , 2 0 0 9

Zac and I met up in Chicago for the past two days to check out Gatorade’s event to honor Michael Jordan’s upcoming Hall Of Fame induction. I had a brutal 7am flight from Portland and Zac had a 5 hour drive from Cleveland. Luckily, he was driving straight to the airport to pick me up. Good thing I realized right as I was boarding that I was getting into Midway and NOT O’hare!

First stop : N. Milwaukee

Had lunch at an amazing Mexican spot next door to LEADERS….apparently restaurants can pull off a BYOB policy?

To honor Michael Jordan’s Hall Of Fame induction, Gatorade invited 23 influencers to help partake in a street art installation. Made of Gatorade Jordan series bottles, it’ll be featured in an upcoming commercial in a few weeks.

Scottie in the house!
