On Thursday, February 12, mediabistro.com hosted a cocktail party in Chicago at Flatwater. Close to 100 media professionals showed up to mingle and enjoy drinks and appetizers at the beautiful space right on the river. Rotary International senior video producer Stuart Cleland hosted the party, and if anyone wasn't sure of who he was, all they had to do was look for his bright red feather on his suit.
