Chicago All-Media Party

Even the blustery winds and horizontal rain of the Big Windy couldn't stop these die hard mb socialites from making their rounds. Inside the warm and cozy Cozmo's on Chicago's north side we clincked house specialty martinis and chatted about love, life, politics (well not exactly politics, but ya' know), and anything in between. All media were on deck to say goodbye to host Rod McCollum and hello to new hosts Stuart (we like to call him Stu) McCleland and Kim Gill.
