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. If a guy walks in the store he may come out with a pair of Uggs, a fake tan, and his first "Scrodazzling" experience. Behold! The era of unattractive scrotums has come to an end!

John Allan's Rooftop Deck Preview

The rooftop deck at John Allan Chicago is almost open for business! Get a sneak preview on Wednesday, June 6th while enjoying cocktails mixed by celebrity bar and lifestyle expert James Moreland. What the hell is a celebrity bar and lifestyle expert, you ask? I don't know, but I bet it's a hell of a lot better than my current job. Probably a hell of a lot douchier too but I can deal with that. Guests will also be able to try flipflop wines and receive complimentary mini spa services.

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.

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!

Don't forget to hang around for the VIP After Party on the 46th floor. I'm not sure what qualifies you for VIP status but it's worth a shot. 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.

Who's Who in Latino Chicago Book Launch Party

Who's Who in Latino Chicago, you ask? Tu madre! That's who! I kid, I kid. The Who's Who in Latino Chicago Book Launch Party will take place at the Supper Club in The South Loop Hotel on Thursday, April 19th. This free event includes complimentary Miller 64, a hosted Ciroc cocktail reception from 6 to 7:30 p.m., and plenty of delicious hors d'ouevres for your nibbling pleasure.

Sexy celebrities from your favorite Univision and Telemundo TV shows will be in attendance to stare longingly into the camera on your girlfriend's phone until she swoons. Then a chain reaction of swooning will occur when she shares the pictures with her friends on Instagram and Pinterest. On second thought, don't tell your lady about this event.

The CISC 2 Year Anniversary Event

Chicago Interactive Social Club (CISC) is celebrating its Two Year Anniversary at EPIC Lounge on Thursday, April 19th. Prepare your self for free booze (probably), appetizers (hopefully), and profound discussions about the newest developments in tech like interactive anime porn apps for tablets.

Chicago's Modern Hispanic Gentlemen Series Kick Off

Ketel One Vodka is hosting a kick-off reception for the inaugural Chicago's Modern Hispanic Gentlemen Series on Tuesday, March 6th at Douches Deuce's and The Diamond Club! This event is hosted by Ketel One so you're definitely going to get your drink on (do people still say "get your [noun/verb] on?") The only unfortunate thing about this particular event is the name of the venue.

Boardroom Series

Get ready to "experience the whiskey and entrepreneurial story of Mr. Jack Daniel and his whiskey" at the Boardroom Series on Thursday, February 23rd! Only the first 250 people to RSVP will be admitted so you better move quickly. I'm not really sure what this event is about, but I see pictures of Gentleman Jack Tennessee Whiskey on the RSVP page so I'm sold.

CISC Holiday Party

The Chicago Interactive Social Club (CISC) is throwing a Holiday Party at The Underground on Thursday, December 8th. Usually these CISC networking events include free drinks for the first hour, light appetizers, and repeated violations of personal space. This time there are supposed to be a few "surprises" so perhaps they'll make things interesting.

Nevertheless I can assure you The Underground will be PACKED. You better get there well before 8 PM and get in line or else you might end up at the mercy of bouncers who take joy in seeing how long they can make you suffer. Of course that never works on me, due to my extreme will power. One time I was outside long enough for my pubes to freeze but I stuck it out. And yes, it was totally worth it when I walked in the club during last call.

There's no cover but make sure you RSVP for entry.

A Movember to Remember

John Allan's Chicago and Darren Brown are hosting an event for Movember at John Allan's penthouse man spa on Friday, November 18th. Guests can enjoy complimentary beer and cocktails as well as mini massages, manicures and hair cuts.

In case you weren't aware, during the month of November men all over the world grow out their woman-repelling mustaches to bring awareness to men's health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. While this is certainly for a good cause it unfortunately leads to a spike in false arrests of guys who closely resemble police sketches of rapists and Unabombers. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Movember's cause to raise funds for prostate cancer research.

CISC 1st Annual Music Event

Chicago Interactive Social Club (CISC) is having its 1st Annual Music Event on Thursday, November 10th at The Chicago Recording Company! This one is fairly unique because each studio will have a DJ or an artist performing for the crowd. So one room might have a mosh pit, the other might have strobe lights and glow sticks, and another might have dueling accordionists fighting to the death (there can only be one)! There will also be a full open bar and appetizers from 6 - 9 PM! I'm certain this event will be packed like a commuter train in Tokyo so register below and get there EARLY!

Sebastian Grey 1801 Club

Sebastian Grey Clothiers is hosting an event at the illustrious Chivas 1801 Club on Friday, October 14th. I doubt this will be any different from the previous events that have taken place in that immaculate mansion, but who cares? It's impossible to go wrong with free scotch, cigars, and hors d'ouevres...unless you hate America! Freedom isn't free, but the valet parking is so get on the list and get ready to party!

John Allan's Presents...

John Allan's Chicago is hosting a little soiree to welcome "customer clothier" Nicholas Joseph and "tree artist" Bruce Burton to the the club. Guests at this event can expect a trunk show, art signing, signature cocktails, appetizers, and mini grooming services.

Maybe it's just me, but this event appears to be lacking the manliness factor. They might want to consider adding a mixed martial arts cage fight between two bikini clad models covered in chili. Or how about an assault rifle demonstration presented by bikini-clad models covered in chili? A simple chili cook-off with bikini-clad models would also suffice, as long as they all end up covered in chili at some point.

CISC End of Summer Event

Chicago Interactive Social Club (CISC) is back at it with its End of Summer Networking event on Thursday, September 1st. I really don't need them to highlight the fact that summer is almost over! I'll be at the beach until the sand freezes! Then I'll make an igloo and sit in it and drink my Coronas, just like those damn commercials!  This event is going to be at Moe's Cantina River North and, as usual, free drinks are served for the first hour and they'll also have passed appetizers. Make sure you stake out by the kitchen if you actually plan on eating.

[Reminder] CISC - The EPIC Event

EFFEN Vodka cocktails and appetizers prepared by EPIC Restaurant will be served from 6 - 7 PM . Free PoPChips and make-up from Golden Rose Cosmetics will be handed out (as always), and free access to EPIC Sky, the restaurant's suave rooftop deck, will be granted starting at 7:30. Additionally the AFTER PARTY is going down at Undergound with a private drink reception for CISC members from 9 - 10 pm. Just tell em you're on the CISC guest list.

CS Interiors July Issue Launch

CS Interiors and Room & Board invite you to the Launch of the CS Interiors July Issue on Thursday, July 14th. This event is going to be BANANAS! Complimentary organic sangria and hors d'oeuvres will be provided for all you greenies. Personally, I like my sangria with EXTRA pesticides. Did I mention Greg Benson from Loll designs will be there? The last time I partied with Greg I woke up with a nipple ring with a wi-fi connection that sends its own Tweets (twitter.com/reallynippy)! Somehow it has more followers than my normal Twitter profile (twitter.com/ithuglife)!

CISC Summer Kick-Off Party

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! A free vial of Antoine Dodson-endorsed lip gloss?? No thank you!

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.
