Things to do for November 17, 2011
The Weekender
Champagne, Winter Gear and Porn. (Food Porn, but Still.)
The weekend is the sexiest weekend alive.
Thursday
An Oak Street Party Crawl
Tonight, Burton preps you for your old friend winter with raffles, giveaways, appetizers and DJs (also: warm clothes). After, head a few stores east to the new Y-3’s official kickoff event for more DJs, more raffles and your old friend champagne.
Losing a Coat, Gaining a Cut
You wore it well. You wore it like nobody else could. That entire igloo disco was agog. But you’ve decided that someone else needs the magic that is your fur-lined, full-length anorak. For your generosity, Floyd’s 99’s coat drive rewards you with a half-price haircut.
Friday
The Night Chicago Rye’d
Seven rye beers. One rye cocktail. One rye whiskey. One night only. Yes, SmallBar Fullerton has assembled a sort of rye booze supergroup, simply because you love the way Goose Island Bourbon County Bramble Rye jams with a $4 Templeton Rye back.
Winter Gear at Apartment Number 9
Apartment Number 9 is kicking off its Rag & Bone pop-up shop with only the essentials: Big Star cocktails, cuisine from Hot Chocolate, a kickin’ DJ and general mayhem. Oh, also Rag & Bone clothes and accessories at 20% off. That’s kind of essential, too.
Saturday
Food Porn. Now Edible.
This film fest centers on food-related documentaries, which is nice. (Also nice: most are under 10 minutes.) But the party has an oyster roast, Brunswick stew, French pastries and boiled peanuts from the chef at the Bedford. Movie popcorn: so good. Movie boiled peanuts: so much better.
