Free Booze at Division Ale House

THIS JUST IN! Division Ale House in Wicker Park is celebrating its anniversary TONIGHT with two hours of complimentary Guinness AND vodka-lemonade! I'll give you a second to reassemble your skull fragments after having your mind blown...

A bluegrass band will also be there to perform songs that aren't appropriate for The Dougie, but I'll be damned if I don't do it anyway!

Guess Eyewear Shades of Summer

The Guess Eyewear Shades of Summer event is kicking off at 6 PM on Thursday, August 2nd. Free cocktails, desserts, and photobooth hijinks await all who attend. Fur coats and neon leopard print leotards are encouraged. It's the perfect outfit to complement your tacky giant sunglasses.

Absolut Swedish House Party

Absolut is sponsoring a Swedish House Party at Proof TONIGHT! RSVP immediately if you want to attend. I assume this event entails free cocktails but I'm willing to bet it won't last until midnight. The line will probably be long and unnecessary, in typical Rush Street fashion. Get there early to get your drink on before they start charging $14 for a Screwdriver!

UPDATE: I was wrong about this one. Everyone will receive 3 drink tickets to try a variety of Absolut cocktails! That should be more than enough for most of you lushes!

The Art of Design

Effen Vodka is hosting it's Art of Design event at Studio Paris (so hot right now!) this summer.  Hopefully this year's party isn't ridiculously overcrowded like the last one at The Hard Rock Hotel. The concept was great: sample different cocktails created by weirdo mixologists and vote on the best one. Unfortunately sampling drinks from each station proved to be a daunting task since the ballroom was packed like the Red Line during the Crosstown Classic. RSVP quickly and make sure you arrive early. This event begins at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18th. Make sure you're in line no later than 3:00 a.m. to get a good spot in line. It's totally worth the sleep deprivation.

Bucketfeet Pop Up Launch

Bucketfeet is teaming up with menswear boutique--Apartment Number 9--to launch a month-long pop up display. Stop by the store on Saturday, July 14 to celebrate the launch of the casual shoe pop up, and enjoy free PBR, appetizers and a $15 discount on all Bucketfeet shoes! I have to be honest. These kicks aren't my style. I'm an OG. I only wear the classiest Vibram FiveFingers dress shoes on my casual days.

No RSVP. Just walk through the door and yell "What?!"

Lomography Chicago Grand Opening

Disclaimer: The following text is not an excerpt from a Dr. Seuss book, despite its ridiculousness.

Check out the Grand Opening of the Lomography Gallery Store Chicago on Thursday, July 19th! Free pizza, booze, and live music will be in store for all you anxious lomographers out there. Be sure to check out the lomographs on the Lomowall taken by Chicagoans with their own Lomo cameras. It's a lomographic display unlike any other!

Do you have any idea what the hell I'm talking about? What exactly is Lomography, you ask? Well, it's simple really. Lomography is the essence of life! It's also an old Russian-made camera with built in Instagram filters rediscovered by modern day hipsters.
