Really glad to see them doing so well right now with the large amount of grand money and new office. In an age where newspapers and other sources of quality journalism are sadly dwindling, it's pretty good to know the BGA has an eye out. These guys are legit.

Dahlings…read more Chicago Social, n/k/a CS, is a glitzy, glossy, free magazine which is distributed to condo buildings and news boxes in certain areas downtown and on the north side. Since CS is free, anyone and everyone from the unwashed masses to the landed gentry who bathe in C-Notes can pick up a copy and get up to speed on local dining, parties, shopping, clothing, interior design and who's who in the local social scene (read: benefit attendees). Since CS is glossy, you can sit in your Gold Coast condo and spill your champagne on it or in your Rogers Park hovel and spill Diet RC on it and still be no worse for the wear, as the spillage will run right off, and you can continue perusing high culture. Dahling, isn't that fah-bulous? Ooh-kay, gurl? Basically, what CS is is a bunch of advertising and rah-rah PR that caters to those with substantial disposable income, those who clamor to one day have substantial disposable income and the pretentious who fall somewhere in the middle. Holla. It's about restaurants, shopping, clothing, jewelry, real estate, interior design and parties. It's to be taken more as entertainment than as informational, and it's always to be taken with a grain of salt. No publication with opinions written in the pretentious first person plural (e.g., "We felt the decor, ambiance and sushi were simply fabulous") is to be taken seriously on general principle. Probably the best part of CS is the section with the party photos. It's always interesting to see where the who's who and celebs are partying, with whom and whether or not they're hot. One must know every month where Bill Kurtis and Donna LaPietra are partying, or one may not be able to go out on the social scene for fear of embarrassment when discourse convenes over cocktails. Whether you're dirt poor or filthy rich, we recommend picking up a copy of CS monthly. It's an amazing way to plug into local society and get up to speed on everything that's fabulous locally. We'll see you on Michigan Avenue, dah-lings. Five stars.

Chicago Social is yet another reason why I love this city. For a girl who loves magazines and has…read moretoo many subscriptions, being able to pick up one this amazing for free seems wrong to me. The glossy covers and high end advertisements are only the beginning. The magazine has a true and honest connection to the city often featuring our own on the cover and in the pages. Located in boxes all around the city, the closest to me is at N Cannon and Fullerton, located next to a bus stop. Hey even the high society of Chicago Social appreciates public transportation.

Printed on high quality paper so you don't have dirty fingers when you put it down. Solid columnists. They're not afraid to write original articles and take stands on local government policy and openly discuss bureaucratic corruption. Greg Hinz is mildly annoying but makes up for it with surprisingly piercing insight and wit. My favorite regular feature is the back page Info Junkie column where they take a local business bigwig and ask them what pubs they subscribe to, most recently read and favorite books. And their multitude of yearly lists, like Chicago's 40 under 40 and the Big Book of Lists are the epitome of coolness in a business pub.

Keep in mind, I was not only brand new to Chicago, and also a comic book geek, but also a girl and not only that a lesbian! I fit in no where! But after discovering how Chicago welcomes the geeks with open arms and then finding these guys that were basically my perfect friends. it was an amazing time! Comic Book Queers is a comic book podcast for everyone, not just the gays! In fact, last polling show the straight audience is much higher than the homosexuals! So they're secure in their listening to something called 'queer' on their iPod on the train. This show is laugh out loud, people are going to look at you weird on the street funny. And they are so knowledgable about all lines of books! Hilarity ensues and they're a blast to hang out with. The amount of people that came down/up to see the Queers at Wizard World Chicago was amazing!! There's a gathering of Comic Book Queers brewing and I can't wait to see the out come!!! Check them out on iTunes and laugh your butt off to mindless banter!
