‘The Office’ gets the pop-up bar treatment in Lincoln Park

You’ll think you’ve departed Chicago and arrived in Scranton, Pennsylvania, when you walk into Replay Lincoln Park’s new The Office pop-up bar, which officially opened its doors over the weekend. A section of the arcade bar received a 9-to-5 makeover, recreating desks belonging to Jim Halpert and Dwight Schrute, complete with desktop computers, Post-It notes and Froggy 101 bumper stickers (we didn’t check to see if there’s a stapler submerged in Jell-O in Dwight’s drawer).

Throughout the pop-up, you’ll find cardboard cut-outs of your favorite characters and walls peppered with references to specific episodes from the long-running series, including Michael Scott’s $340 check to science, an “It is your birthday” banner and Pam’s painting of the Dunder Mifflin office park. At the bar, you can order drinks inspired by the series, such as the One of Everything, featuring equal parts Scotch, absinthe, rum, gin, vermouth, triple sec and two packs of Splenda.

Replay’s The Office pop-up will be open for business through August 20, so stop by and put all of those Michael Scott quotes you’ve memorized to good use.

Kitten Rescue’s 3rd Annual Fur Ball

Published on by AngelaKinseyFans1 Comment

Last night I attended Kitten Rescue‘s 3rd Annual Fur Ball at the Skirball Cultural Center and had a chance to see Angela. She along with others from ‘The Office’ cast, including Jenna Fischer who was the host, were there to help fundraise for Kitten Rescue’s programs and the Kitten Rescue Sanctuary.

The Fur Ball, which started with cocktails and Hors D’Oevres and continued with an amazing dinner, turned out to be a great event. Kitten Rescue raised a lot of money through silent and live auctions, including a set visit to ‘The Office’ that went for $5,000 and a chance to get a personalized voicemail message from Jenna as Pam Beesly for $700!

I had a fun time and it was great to meet not just cat lovers but so many animal lovers!
