Party Photos: Cocktails in Chicago
At Sonotheque, 06.24.03
You can tell Sonotheque is a cool place because it is nearly impossible
to find. There's no sign outside, no street number posted, and a maze to conquer
before you could reach the main room. But, silly cool folks, those obstacles
were no match for mb's crew of Chicago investigative reporters. In fact, media
pros of all sorts found their way in, where our gal Taffy and more than 100
Big Shouldered new friends had a great time drinking, schmoozing, and getting
to know one another.
