From left to right: Elizabeth Taylor, senior editor of the Chicago Tribune's book section; Jonathan Messinger, senior editor of Time Out Chicago's book section and founding member of Featherproof Books; Victoria Lautman; and a man from the Seminary Co-op Bookstore whose name I never quite caught. Help on that in the comments would be appreciated.

Complicated (and free!) drink. The waitress explained what was in it but I lost track after the first five ingredients. Pretty sure there’s some form of whiskey in there, though. Tasty. Also, the little shot glass contains carrot soup with a ginger candy dropped in the bottom. Definitely the best hors d’ouvres of the night.
Again with the drink, and this time a little bit of toast and goat cheese.
Another shot of the toast and drink.

Last hors d’ouvres of the night–a crunchy little guac tortilla wrap that was quite good.
This model stood right next to the check in table with bright mannequin lighting, and I was totally fooled. After I realized she was a model I snapped a rather eerie looking photo.
