There ain't no party like a Lincoln Park pizza party

Versteeg Crashes the Rockford IceHogs' Party
2009-12-03 19:15:00 The Chicago Blackhawks don't play again until Friday, so Wednesday I took a little road trip to Rockford to get my hockey fix. I watched the IceHogs defeat Chris Chelios and the Chicago Wolves 3-2, then joined the team and their biggest fans upstairs- for their Arena Club Party. And wouldn't you know it--Blackhawks forward Kris Versteeg couldn't go a night without hockey, either! Versteeg was at the game Wednesday to cheer on his best friend from home, IceHogs forward Rob Klinkhammer. Versteeg went from being a standout with the IceHogs in 2007 to an NHL Rookie of the Year nominee last season. I spoke briefly with Mike Peck, the Hogs' VP of communications, about some of the guys looking to follow in Versteeg's footsteps. "Corey Crawford is one, he's really close...

Black Wednesday - Let's Party!
2009-11-25 17:48:00 Jenny and I at Angels & Kings Omg...I think I just ran into someone I used to date. I got on the train this morning and accidently bumped into a guy with my RedEye (yes, I really do read it daily). I haven't thought about this person in a very long time, but as soon as I passed by him...I just knew. Well, at least I think I did. If not, I ran into someone who looked exactly like this other guy, but had a clean shaven face. In any case, we didn't talk to each other, because he hurt me, I wasn't 100% sure it was him and I'm fabulous now! The fact that it happened on Black Wednesday seems so poetic. Not...

Michael Kors Opening Party Rocks 900 Shops!
2009-11-06 00:41:00 With Michael Kors and host committee members Linda Johnson Rice, Toni Canada, Amanda Puck and Julie Lampert. The Magnificent Mile turned into the Magnificent Michael Kors Mile last night for the VIP opening party and fashion show at the 900 Shops. The by-invitation-only VIP party began at 6:30 PM and, by party standards, it was a pretty intimate affair. About 75 guests mixed and mingled with Michael and he was a real charmer. He is my favorite designer since his clothes are not trendy but very chic and timeless. Some of the guests were wearing 10 year old Kors and you would have never known. The store itself is gorgeous and modern with white leather furniture and beautiful fur...

Box office blog: Let the 'Wild Things' victory party start
2009-10-19 03:46:00 A cause for a wild rumpus: The extraordinary "Where the Wild Things Are" topped the weekend box office with $32.5 million. That's not a huge tally but a good start for a movie that should, hopefully have a good word of mouth, and continue to build an audience until its regarded as the classic that it is.What definitely is not a classic--or even a less-than-terrible movie--is "Law Abiding Citizen," which took second place with $21.2 million. For anyone who didn't think the movie was a gratuitously violent and totally nonsensical waste of time, well, I disagree. At No. 3 was the highly buzzed-about "Paranormal Activity," which added another $20.2 million to its total (now more than $33 million), which is...

The Executive HQ, the Chicago artsy place to party
2009-10-13 06:02:00 This is what the ceiling looks like in The Executive HQ. Every once in awhile you go to a party or visit a place that leaves a lasting impression, and this past Friday on Oct. 9, I did just that. My cousin had a Mardis Gras birthday party on the south side of Chicago at "The Executive HQ," located at 2310 E. 75th Street. As soon as I stepped into this club, I could tell that the architect or artist who created it put a lot of weird effort into it. Before you walk into The Executive HQ, it doesn't look like it's open to the public. The windows are painted white, and eyes stare back at you....

Exclusive: GLEE Star Chris Colfer on Kurt’s Coming Out Party
2009-09-23 17:59:00 As much as it may be in-vogue to snicker about the death of broadcast television thank-you-very-much-Emmy-teleca-st, we sometimes forget what a powerful medium it is. In the blink of an eye, the small screen in your living room has the ability to get presidents elected, turn unknowns into idols and, perhaps most importantly, alter people’s perceptions. Just ask DAWSON’S CREEK alum Kerr Smith, whose portrayal of openly-gay high schooler Jack McPhee quite literally changed lives. “I remember this one kid, he watched that one episode where Jack comes out of the closet to his father, and he told me right after that he walked in the next room and told his parents that he was gay. I don’t know how to feel about that, you know what I mean?” Smith told journalists recently. ”That character was quite influential on a lot of kids that were going through the same kinds of issues as Jack. I remember some of the letters I used to get that just made me cr...
