It's that time again...time for sandals, flip-flops and, eventually, bikinis. If it isn't snowing, I mean. Join The Chopping Block, the small Lincoln Park culinary school at 1324 W. Webster Ave., for Girl's Night: Back to Bikinis. Come taste healthy, flavorful party treats like mango ceviche and sesame ginger salmon bites, and take some recipes home with you. Registration for the 7:00-9:30pm class is $50 and there is a 24 hour cancellation policy. Call 773-472-6700 or email info[at]thechoppingblock.net for more information.
Tonight is a special edition of the Influence monthly, as it celebrates the launch of the new issue of Subsystence, entitled Balance. DJs on the night will include Mark Nelson (aka Pan American), Steven Hess, Leo Prescott, as well as Mike Weis and Matt Christensen (of Zelienople). The event starts at 9 PM and takes place at Sonotheque, 1444 W Chicago Ave, near Ashland. There is no cover, but you must be 21 to get in.
GB staff member KM will be in attendance.
