Cheeky Chicago 2 Year Anniversary Party

I have nothing to do with this event, but it is a great company/organization for women that covers fashion, fitness, restaurants, night life, music, culture, theater and a gammot of other things.  They throw a ton of great events and give the women of Chicago a really cool go-to guide of where to go and what to do weekly and give them a spin on what’s Cheeky about it.  Its run by some really great girls and they just hit their 2 year anniversary and are hosting a party at Rockit tonight to celebrate.  Come out and show some support and find out what they’re all about!

Wasabi Wednesdays at SUSHISAMBA rio
Every week we host a weekly event in SUSHISAMBA rio’s third floor lounge. Week to week the event has grown and become a staple for the hours in between the after work events and the late night hot spots.

Recently written up in the Red Eye & on NBC, the night has taken on such great steam because of the crowd (a mix of local young professionals, business networkers, hospitality industry, media, professional athletes and late night adventure seekers,) the great specials ($5 Wasabi Cocktails, $20 Pitchers of Sangria & Mojito’s, $5 Appetizers), the music (DJ’s Billy The Kid, Mike Mroz & Jesse Seeley) and the very sexy Miami vibe you feel in the amazing space that SUSHISAMBA provides.

If you haven’t attended yet and you’re feeling a little frisky tonight, give this event a shot as we do not disappoint!

Giving Heart and New Media Wiz – Estrella Rosenberg

Click her picture to follow her on Twitter

I must say, through different ventures I have been able to meet a lot of amazing people throughout the years, but I must say, Estrella Rosenberg is somebody that easily sets herself apart from the rest.  I came to meet her through different charitable networking events in the city of Chicago and now operate as her Events & Media Director for Big Love Little Hearts (one of her multiple charitable organizations.)

Estrella is doing great things in both philanthropy and innovation in new media.  I just wanted to give her a shout and point you in the direction of her blog, Adventures In Philanthropy.

What’s your favorite funny video this year? Here’s Mine…

I must say, I just discovered this video through a friend today and it had me and friends falling out of our chairs laughing – check this kid out as he performs lady gaga for his mama.  Also,  leave a comment below with a link to your favorite funny video, I need a good resource for rainy days!

Bringing it all together…

Hi Everybody!

Finally…a blog.  I had an ultra half hearted attempt at this 2 or 3 years ago on blogger which I dubbed, “The Life & Times of Chris Mahlmann.”  It was ill-fated seconds after I set it up as I was never to return to post once.  Did I realize its potential?  Maybe not…was I lazy?  Possibly…but the real reason is just that I wasn’t sure what my identity was going to be…online, but in life generally.   What was I going to talk about?  Work?  Friends?  Family?  I definitely didn’t consider myself an expert on anything…I was just trying to find my way more or less.

Now, as most will tell you, I have so many things going on with so many different people and organizations that I’ve been yearning for a place to bring it all together.  Here I can connect with Facebook friends who aren’t Twitter followers, I can connect the business community I work with to the charity community I work with, I can highlight life’s experiences and I can talk about all of my endeavors with events, social media, marketing and the local scene in general.

I hope this is a place you can come to find out about local events, a place to learn about different social causes and how you can get involved, a place to brush up on your social media know how and a place to interact and keep tabs on me and what I’m up to.  If you have any suggestions or questions for me, please feel free to post!  I look forward to an exciting and prosperous 2010 and I hope theres a way that I can help YOU with what you’re up to this year!

-Chris Mahlmann
