WHY HAVE I NOT ATTENEDED EVERY YEAR?
My friend Katherine Recommended me for this gig and I am so thankful she did because I would have never known about this wonderful event. Germanfest was held in Lincoln Square from Friday to Sunday. On Friday they had a keg tapping, Saturday a parade and lots of food and on Sunday they had all kinds of Folk dancing. Everyone was so kinds and the food.....THE FOOD was so good! Even Mancow showed up in his pilot shirt.
Grand Opening of The Cotton Duck, an art gallery as well as a BYOB restaurant. Renee McGuiness was the first to exhibit her art work while Chef Zumpano cooked up a storm.
C Louise Public Relations does it again. They know how to host an event. The event was held in the garden of a private home at 1442 North Astor street. In a prime location and with the lake right outside the door. We were free to roam around the house and explore all the rooms. Not going to lie, I got some styling tips from this house. Already purchased some of the rugs used in there.
Chef Charles Webb was the man of the hour. Always amazing my taste buds with his creations. Not only does everything he cooks taste delightful it is pleasing to the eye. Nathaniel Glossen and Amber James were the sous chefs helping Chef Charles, always answering questions and making sure we tasted everything. DJ Madrid rocked the night away with his music and energy. Once again it's a pleasure to be surrounded by such great people.
It was a hot and beautiful day for for the inagural Arranmore Polo Classic. Congratulations to the Sophisticated Living Magazine team on a great match and win. I have never attended a Polo match before, but I am officially obsessed. I can't wait to visit again.
Kick in to Stop Sarcoidosis on Saturday, February 9, 2013 at River East Art Center in downtown Chicago.
I had the wonderful opportunity to work this great event with my buddy Eric Perez. Not only did you walk in with two camels greeting you, but a huge snake and monkey were in side eagerly waiting for your attention. Sari’s were the thing at the event and they did not disappoint. The colorful outfits, along with the lights and music made me want to eat, pray, love to India. Mindy the monkey stole the show, my heart and straws out of drinks.
This magical Arabian Nights-themed evening brought together hundreds of supporters to raise funds in support of sarcoidosis research.
Event entertainment featured creative cocktails, strolling dinner catered by Entertaining Company, blackjack, roulette, music by DJ Peter Canellis, dancing, and other delights of the One Thousand and One variety!
Proceeds from the event fund FSR’s education and research initiatives including a nationwide awareness campaign and grant program which supports researchers working to find better treatment and ultimately a cure for the disease.
