Don’t miss out on the second installment of our “Global Grooves Thursday” series, this week at Crimson Lounge located inside the Sax Hotel!

We are very excited to host this event with our friends from “Chicago Italians” for a taste of Italy!

We’re also excited to have DJ Torio (Vic Comforte) on the decks as well as our very own DJ’s Greg and John…

We will also be collecting donations for the victims of the recent earthquake that devistated the Abruzzo region in central Italy. The donations will make there way to the victims through the National Italian American Foundation in Washington D.C. www.niaf.org

**Proper attire required- it’s Italian Night, after all!!! 🙂

Please join us for a very special event at the chic and sexy Jbar featuring globe trotting DJ John Grammatis, who’ll be spinning the latest tunes from both sides of the Atlantic!

We’ll also have delish complimentary appetizers courtesy of the neighboring James Hotel, lots of great drink specials and Dj John G. will be giving away copies of his latest CD!

We are also excited to co-host this event with our friends from French in Chicago and WorldCupChicago soccer for a truly global affair!
