This week, we're getting together with J.Crew to give you a chance at a whirlwind weekend in New York,
complete with two nights of downtown revelry and a $2000 J.Crew gift card. If for some reason you want to
sleep, we'll also set you up in a penthouse suite at the Royalton.

HOT MAMA
Chicago International Film Festival
The Oprah Winfrey-Tyler Perry produced sob-fest Precious may have the buzz, but the Chicago film
fest debuts on a lighter note by rolling out the red carpet for Uma Thurman and her flick
Motherhood, about a Manhattan woman who juggles kids, a husband, traffic and being the hottest
cougar on the Upper West Side.

SHELL YEAH
Keg Party and Oysters at Landmark
Keg parties are great times, but you've never settled for merely great. You're looking for
transcendental—and a few oysters should do the trick. Landmark provides plenty at this party along

ANDERSONVILLE
Pamela Anderson at The Venue
Pam Anderson has a new line of eco-friendly clothing. Interesting. She'll debut it by strutting down the
catwalk at party that's more like a fashion show-meets-underground rave with some blackjack thrown in. So
that takes to a whole new level of interesting—like, a red-swimsuit level.
