Fly Birthdays

Thursday night in Wicker Park was the scene for two epic parties. Willy Joy & Co. celebrated the anniversary of the Fly By Night party with headliners Craze and Klever on the decks. Mano also played, in addition to hosting his own birthday party across the street at Empire, which was nothing short of madness. The line was long and the building was packed. I think I hit at least a dozen people inadvertently with my camera in there. As always, click the thumbs to see all the pics!

Long night: FlyByNight, Crocodile, Empire..

Was nothing short of an epic night.. there have been a few of those lately. Willy's monthly party went down at Debonair with Tittsworth headlining. There was a bit of a snow storm going on but a surprising amount of people were still out and about. One of New York City's best bars just got a new Chicago location. The place is called Crocodile and the deal is you get a free pizza with a drink order and damn are those pizzas delicious! I went back a few nights later and the bartender seemed super annoyed about the pizza deal and only gave us two pizzas for three people/drinks, so we'll see how it goes. Oh, and Jason Tyler is programming the music over there so expect to see a DJ set from me once a month or so! First gig is Saturday Jan 2nd 2009!

Along with all that goodness it was Major Taylor's birthday and he was spinning over at Empire. Too much to do and all on one city block! Oh and of course we all headed to Flatiron after the 2am's closed down.. yeah, I know.
