I host a happy hour 2X a year - winter and summer.  This year, I decided to give away "Gift Bags" for the first 50 guests that stop by the event.  In January, my event was at Bull & Bear and this time around I am hosting it at Five Star.

My happy hour is this Friday, June 19th from 5:30p to 8:30p at Five Star on Chicago Avenue - between Ashland and Damen.  We have Jim Beam drink specials and Five Star has pretty darn good food available.  Hopefully it will not rain because we are going to be in the front windows.

My events have a tendency to draw "media types" as I like to call them and I try to introduce people to one another in an effort to help people network. 

Here are my gift bag participants this Friday: Rapt In Maille jewelry, Tiffany Kim Institute, Todd Fischer from Free Nation of Beauty  he is at both salons (Oak street & Lakeview and you can follow Todd on twitter @toddfisch), Randy Gerber Restaurants, The Drawing Room, Better Whey of Life Yogurt (a local, female owned business in Chicago), Arranged by Erin - a professional organizer. 

I have a few more items that are still pending but that is the short list!

I am really excited, each time I host this, I get some great friends together and we have a blast!
