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.

City of Style Book Signing

eDrop-Off and GlossedandFound are teaming up to host the book signing of City of Style with Melissa Magsaysay on Tuesday, June 26th. Light appetizers and cocktails will be served to guests who attend this event. This definitely isn't an event for the bros.

First Thursday: Networking in Hyde Park

Join members of the Hyde Park Chamber of Commerce for a night of networking and drankin' on Thursday, June 7th. This event is open to the public. It's a great opportunity to get boozed up with complimentary drinks (and hors d'ouevres) and gripe about how much crap you have to go through to get around the neighborhood when the president decides to come in town so he can slide around his house while wearing socks and a dress shirt a la Risky Business.

The CISC Spring Event

The Chicago Interactive Social Club (CISC) is hosting another night of networking for the interactive industry at NV Penthouse Lounge on Thursday, May 24th. These events usually entail free drinks and appetizers for an hour and a huge crowd that will severely limit your ability to take advantage of the open bar. NV Penthouse Lounge is a nice spot, but it doesn't do well with large crowds, especially on the patio that is roughly the size of a CTA bus shelter.

Sleeping with the Artist Salon Series

The Sleeping with the Artist Salon Series at the Hotel Palomar is taking place on Thursday, May 17th.

Guests will be able to view a collection of art from local artists while enjoying wine and hors d'oeuvres from Sable Kitchen & Bar.

The $10 mandatory cover charge suggested donation for this event will score you a raffle ticket, and the satisfaction of knowing that your money will benefit the Chicago Arts Partnership in Education.

Man Up

Van Buren Gentlemen's Salon is hosting a styling event for bros on Thursday, June 7th at the 235 West Van Buren building. Guests will receive complimentary grooming services, cocktails, and appetizers while enjoying one of the best views in the city. Judging by the list of sponsors on the flyer, this event is going to be the bee's knees!

For the entertainment, a stuntman wearing a fashionable, custom-made suit from Trunk Club Men's Outfitters will recreate the opening of Mad Men by jumping out of a window in slow motion while holding a glass of Spicebox Canadian Whisky.
