The DMC Club had the opportunity to do a BTTF II type of skit with the WGN Morning News show this morning,
in advance of the 30th Anniversary of the Cubs Convention (Cubs Fest) this weekend.

Tom "McFly" Sedor represented the club (and he is a Cubs season ticket holder -- poor guy), so he brought
some of his BTTF II memorabilia and some Cubs memorabilia for the skit.

Tom also has a "Save the Scoreboard Clock" campaign going on, on his website: www.CubsToTheFuture.com

Jeff Hoover (WGN) played Doc Brown for a play-on-words ending to the skit with the band: The Plain White T's

Did it run late? I tried to watch but didn't see it in the expected time slot.

Yes it did. (this was done live, not taped)

Breaking News bumped it to after 8:20 am

DeLorean Midwest Twitter was up to date
(and time, lol) with the time slot change.

"Need to check the oil in the flux capacitator..."

Really Doc?

Fun bit though. :)

Sorry, they love Bad Puns at WGN. Check the oil using a Plain White T.
