Wanna rub elbows with Cubs catcher Geovany Soto? He'll be hanging out at Carson Pirie Scott, 3333 W. Touhy, at 6:30 p.m. April 16th, to chat with fans about his life on and off the field during an event sponsored by men's clothing designer Perry Ellis. Maybe if you ask Soto nicely he'll help you pick out a shirt.
Customers who purchase $50 or more of Perry Ellis merchandise will receive a baseball for Soto to sign and entry into the gift-with-purchase line. The first 50 customers who make it into that line will get a complimentary Perry Ellis gift bag.
A quick flip through the Perry Ellis Web site shows the designer added a few floral and paisley shirts to its inventory of all plaid and stripes. I'll be disappointed if Soto is not wearing this Uneven Paisley Print Shirt, $59.99 (at right). And what makes it uneven?
Points to any of you who can convince him to grab a beer after the event. Peanuts count as well.
