I'm off to mingle. Yes, I dressed up.
I haven't spent an evening mingling with a new group in the longest time, so thought I'd get out tonight to the latest get-together by freelance-writer social network MediaBistro, which is being held in the always delightful River North neighborhood, and even features free appetizers. And since I have so few excuses anymore, I thought I'd take the opportunity to actually wear a tie out, although won't admit to anyone who asks that I actually dressed up for the mingler itself, but rather that I have a fundraiser to go to later for a theatre company. A fundraiser for a theatre company is a fake excuse that'll get you out of ANYTHING in Chicago, precisely because people are constantly off to attend yet another real one.
See ya, sucker!
