copenhagen 2016 olympic host city announcement viewing location

i can’t stay in one place! you must follow me on twitter right now (click here) to catch what’s happening behind the scenes- and get all my pictures!  Just watched mr & mrs president obama absolutely nail that pitch- left the chicago 2016 home base viewing party to run out into the streets to feel the energy- and its amazing!  Here is some footage of the square in the middle of Copenhagen where the public will all watch the decision be made soon!  I will be at a private location with the chicago committee (will fill you in on twitter), and I can’t wait!  

Btw, check out some people from Tokyo, rio,.. a lot representing out here!  But I think people know, chicago is the city to beat right now- it’s painfully obvious here- although no one out here can say we will win for sure- including me- all have telling facial expressions no matter where they are from when they see my blue chicago 2016 olympic jacket that we are part of the team to beat… and that is just a rush… more to come!

chicago 2016 olympics w/ cbs' "csi:ny" hill harper

I met hill when doing some philanthropic work in new Orleans around just after the katrina disaster… and have been wonderful friends ever since.  He is not only super talented on screen, but he is a super smart Harvard guy that always gives back.  I am truly impressed.  You will see for yourself when you hear him on this video praising the idea of having the Olympics in chicago!

as for me & the olympics, if you are following me on twitter (click here to follow), you know i just left Russia & sweden, and pulled up in a train to copenhagen!!!!  Heading to big event to meet fellow chicago 2016 olympic committee members (and maybe president obama?) before tomorrow’s official 2016 olympic host announcement!!!  i am feeling very positive- I think chicago will win! especially if everyone helps to spread our enthusiastic spirit! 

you can do this by just sharing all the celebrity messages on this site w/ your friends, family, coworkers & everyone else you can for the next couple days… by email, phone, facebook, twitter, chatboards,… which helps these celebrities virally get the word out to the world that chicago (and the u.s in general) will be the perfect place to hold the 2016 olympics, and that americans are all very excited to host all who can join us (including the 4.4+ billion people watching on tv) for the most amazing sport, cultural & friendship strengthening event ever! thank you for your help everyone & keep spreading the news!

My radio host friend Mancow and I hung back stage with tracy after his hilarious stand up gig at the horseshoe casino— sorry this video is so short– but you know tracy, I couldn’t use all that other stuff that came out of his mouth- this is a pg site!!!!!!!!!!!  I will say, he did light up at the thought of having the Olympics in Chicago!

chicago 2016 olympics w/ andy roddick, venus williams & more!

The absolute coolest part of hanging out talking to tennis stars about the Olympics in Chicago was when Andy Roddick basically informed all that he was going to retire sooner than 2016, but if Chicago wins the 2016 summer games, that he would probably not retire, and push on to make the USA team!  That’s big!
