Since last April, I have been an avid Tweeter (Twitterer? Twittist?). I follow my friends, random Broadway stars and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Today, Ellen tweeted this:
About 100 people, decked out in their holiday, err, finest. Let’s just say that as fetching as I looked in a flag sweater that I pulled over the top of my winter coat, these people came stronger with their holiday sweaters. And battery packs that powered actual lights strung on their bodies. Ellen was taping her show in LA and came on to deliver a message to us about the contest she was holding:
Long story short, I did not win $10,000 tonight but I did see snow for the first time this year and I did get a Lite White Berry at Caribou when I could no longer feel my toes. Oh and I got to hang out with some festive Chicagoans. An entirely successful evening.
When these things go on in your backyard, you simply can’t not go see what the Ellen is going on.
