Three reasons to attend tonight’s Ugly Christmas Sweater Party at the Black Rock Bar tonight at 7 p.m.!

1. It’s Thursday. It’s freezing. It’s the holidays. What doesn’t sound better right now than a drink or thirty? Plus you’ll get the chance to meet the Loud Loop Crew in addition to some other really cool Chicago indie media-ites from some of Chicago’s best independent blogs.

2. We will be collecting donations (checks STRONGLY preferred) for the Greater Chicago Food Depository at the door. Suggested donation: $15. So it’s definitely for a great cause.

3. We’re teaming up with several other great local sites to make the night one to remember. Here they are. Check them out this weekend to learn a whole lot more about what’s happening in Chicago.
