Tomorrow night at 8 pm the second edition of Night Heist, an annual fundraiser gala hosted by the Evening Associates Board of the Art Institute of Chicago takes place. The Department of Architecture and Design will feature a private preview of Fashioning the Objects: Boudicca, Sandra Backlund, and Bless.
GOCA Designs is a women’s luxury clothing line that was established in Chicago in the Fall of 2010. President Gordana Rasic and Vice President Omar Villalobos, who are both pursuing college degrees; all the while bringing their fashion dreams to fruition, run the fashion line themselves. Through their combined efforts they aim to, “revamp the fashion industry as a vessel of art; bringing obscure truths into clarity.” Tackling college finals at the same time as showcasing in ‘Latino Fashion Week’ might be a daunting task for some but not for Omar & Gordana. Their passion is electric and their youthful energy is contagious.
Any Chicagoan will tell you, it’s not a spring or summer holiday if it doesn’t have its own 5k race. I think Juneteenth even put in their bid to CARA for a 5k to get the official status…kidding of course. We like to run, and we like to let people know we run, it’s that whole Chicago pride thing, and I can respect that. Well if all you joggers, runners, and aggressive morning CTA station speed walkers had your eyes peeled for the inevitable Easter 5k …look no further!
When a musical groups’ praises grace the pages of The Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, and The L.A. Times, you know they mean business. Memphis soul masters the Bo-Keys, are the men behind this beautiful blues music that The Wall Street calls a, “Funky authentic groove”. Chicago’s in for a treat because the Bo-Keys are bringing their talents to our city on March 22nd at SPACE. For only $14 you will be able to see the Memphis Soul masters boogie to their hit song ‘Got To Get Back’. Now I’ll admit I’m not the first one to play blues on my Pandora stations but let me tell you…once I heard this jam with Otis Clay I was SOLD (Downloaded it before I started writing this!)
The Wieners Circle has been my fav go to places to enjoy w/ friends (like me & Jude Law above) since I was in 5th grade! Born & raised 3blks away, I remember walking w/my fam or friends once a week to rent VHS tapes next door, and I always got a cheddar cheese fry & chardog to go! Back then they didn’t scream obnoxious profanities at customers who love it like they do now, but their food hasn’t changed a bit and is still the best! That killer combo of great food & entertainment (or abuse) is probably why they just landed their own reality TV show that premieres tonight on Tru TV at 9 p.m.! Support & watch it!
Over 20 million were watching when I auditioned for Season 10 of “American Idol” and my flirt session with Steven Tyler. Got my golden ticket to Hollywood, then got the golden boot after the infamous and brutal group round.
I think it’s fair to say that St. Patty’s day is THE Chicago holiday. The river runs green, parades take over the streets, and the bars all open at 9am… sold! I’ve been planning since February, and I’m literally counting the minutes until the celebrations start. In case you don’t have your Chi-rish plans yet for Friday nigh though, here’s the perfect way to get yourself ready for the Saturday festivities. Tullamore Dew, One of Ireland’s finest whiskeys, is throwing the ultimate ‘Irish True’ St. Patrick’s Day Celebration!
I’ve always wanted to attend a movie premiere but never understood how people knew about getting tickets and the event in advance. I happen to miss the boat every time and would hear reviews about the film the next day. I FINALLY came across some info about a Chicago film premiere on March 13th for “The Keeper of the Keys”.
Check out the photos below from the Oscar Viewing Party at Rockit Bar & Grill. Thanks to all who came out- we raised a great amount of money for After School Matters, a nonprofit organization that offers Chicago public high school teens high quality out-of-school-time opportunities to explore and develop their talents in the arts, while gaining critical skills for work, college, and beyond.
