Antonio Lupi Showroom Re-Opening

The re-opening party of Antonio Lupi's newly renovated bathroom showroom is taking place on Thursday, June 9th!

Rest assured booze and appetizers at this event will be provided by Half Acre Beer Company, Honest Foods Catering and Tenzing Wines.

The Crown Life

Crown Royal and Big Boi are teaming up to bring you a "private lifestyle event that celebrates music + fashion." So in other words Crown Royal is promoting its new brand of Crown Royal Black Canadian Whisky...Hip Hop style! I don't know anything else about this event besides the fact that Big Boi is hosting it and it takes place on Wednesday, June 8th. The location is top secret but it's apparently somewhere in the 60642 zip code area. I'm thinking this might go down at Vibe (formerly CroBar). I guess we'll found out soon enough!

The Chicago Interactive Social Club (CISC) finally announced their Summer Kick-Off Party, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 16th at NV Penthouse Lounge. If this is anything like the CISC 1-Year Anniversary Party at Underground a few weeks ago, you can expect it to get crowded with nerds pretty quickly. Therefore it's HIGHLY recommended that you RSVP now and get there as early as possible. Inhalers Appetizers will be passed around and drinks will be provided courtesy of Fris Vodka Skandia (???).  Guests will also receive gift bags with PoPChips and Golden Rose Cosmetic samples. Oh boy!

Style and Speed [Update]

Fletcher Jones is opening yet another car dealership on Thursday, May 26th. No, Fletcher Jones is not the lead character in a classic Blaxploitation movie. You really don't want to miss this one because the last two Fletcher Jones events that I went to were definitely hot. This will one will have food from Sunda and RL Restaurant, a fashion show, spa treatments, live music and free cocktails. Make sure you get to this one EARLY. Oh, and don't forget about the after-party at Underground @ 10 P.M.

Va Va VOOM! [Reminder]

UPDATE: I just received some new info about this event. It appears that the date of the event has changed and it now ends at 9 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. See below.

V Events is hosting the Va Va Voom Event! at The Victor Hotel on Wednesday, May 4th 18th. The Meat Packing District hasn't had anything this hot since the introduction of the spicy Italian sausage. To convince you that this is the hottest place for corporate events and private parties they're showing off the venue with a 1920's themed decor, live music, catered food, and complimentary cocktails. Did I mention they'll have free free valet parking? There's no way you should miss out on this!

Scotch with J.Crew and UrbanDaddy

From the title you might think rappers are now endorsing Scotch, but of course you'd be mistaken. J. Crew and UrbanDaddy are hooking up to host an evening of style tips from a top men's designer, discounts of up to 15% off J.Crew gear, and complimentary single-malt scotch samples on Tuesday, May 10th. Perhaps there will be a day when Diddy a.k.a "Ciroc Obama" will partner with a single-malt scotch maker ("Mo Malts, Mo Problems"), but don't hold your breath.

Le Thrift Grand Opening

Le Thrift, a "High End Designer Brands Consignment and Resale Boutique", is having its grand opening on Saturday, May 14th. I don't think this store is related to Le Dress boutique, listed in a post below, but I've misjudged relations before. Word of advice: never get blackout drunk at a family reunion. My sexy cousin refuses to drop that damn restraining order! Cocktails and appetizers will be served at this event and the first few guests to arrive will receive gift bags.

Grand Opening of Le Thrift Boutique
Saturday, May 14th | 3 - 8 PM  
1754 West Division, Chicago IL 60622

No RSVP Necessary

le Dress Deux

The ladies of le Dress boutique just pitched a pop-up store in The Shops of North Bridge and they want you to celebrate the opening with them on Wednesday, May 4th. There will be plenty of drinks, desserts, debutantes,  and, you guessed it, dresses! I should open up a fancy liquor store for women and call it, le Drunk. With each 40-ounce malt liquor purchase we'll give you a classy carrying case made of hemp (brown paper bags? gross!) and free cocktail-flavored lip gloss. Cha-ching!

Vitaminwater Uncapped LIVE [100th Post!]

The Vitaminwater Uncapped LIVE Tour, presented by Fader Magazine, is coming to Chicago! It's going down at The Shrine on Wednesday, May 4th! There will be live performances by native Chicago hip hop artists, Twista, Shawnna and Calliko. Perhaps you've heard of at least one of them? No? Neither has my spellcheck. Of course this show wouldn't be cool if it was only sponsored by Vitaminwater so you can rest assured knowing that Heineken is sponsoring an open bar all night. RSVP quickly and get there early. This will probably get pretty crowded.
