The AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour hits North Avenue Beach today, featuring Olympic gold medalists Misty May and Kerri Walsh and six other Olympic players. The tournament runs through Monday, with the women's final at 11:30am Sunday and men's final at 1:30pm Monday (after May and Walsh's performance last week, maybe they should switch that around). Free general admission tonight and tomorrow, tickets are $10 for Saturday and Sunday (no word about Monday). Also, you can party with the players Saturday night at Duffy's, 422 W. Diversey, from 8:30-11:30pm for just $20, booze and food included. Score!
