Thursday, April 25
March 4th marks the 168th birthday of the City of Chicago. To celebrate, the city is offering free cake and ice cream at the Chicago Historical Society. Tomorrow is also First Fridays at the MCA, who have also shown their true colors with the "Get Lucky At the MCA" theme party. Karma Cosmos and Mac "digital matchmaking" mark this month's hookup scene at First Fridays. Art and appetizers - a match made in heaven!
