DETAILS @ MIDNIGHT MEETS THE MIDWEST

On March 31, the DETAILS @ Midnight performance series made its first-ever stop in Chicago. The surprise performer, Outasight, took the energy to a high point as he invited the crowd to dance on stage with him at Wicker Park’s Debonair Social Club. After lining up around the block in anticipation, guests sipped on cocktails from Patrón and on Bud Light Platinum, crowded the retro photo booth, and danced until dawn to the beats of DJ 6th Sense.
