Half Barrel Keg of Microbrew, Sure No Problem! A client was looking for a specific type of beer for a company

The keg was chilled and delivered to the tenant right in time for the start of the event. Can’t find what you’re looking for?

B ook of Mormon Tickets, What a Surprise!A client wanted to fly his family in to Chicago to surprise them

with tickets for the hit show Book of Mormon. Since most performanc-es are sold out, he was unable to find the premium seating he desired.
