The Best Things are FREE

My roommate (I call her Biv) is a journalist major.  She has an internship with Time Out Chicago.  A lil magazine that covers different things to do/places to go in Chicago.  For her assignment for the next issue she had to do a "Table of Four".  It's where she and three other people go and review a restaurant.  She asked me, Jamie, and Sara to go with her.  It was sooooo much fun.  We went to the Kit Kat Lounge.  It was amazing.  We had a table reserved for us when we got there.  They kept offering us drinks and food and appetizers and desserts just so we could try all the good food they had.  
It was different than any other place I've been because of two things.  One: it had four big projection TV screens on which they had a movie playing the whole time.  It was 80's night when we went so they had 80's movies on.  Two:  they had drag queens that came out every hour and preformed (aka dressed up and lip sync).  It was soooo funny and they were actually pretty good. 

Throughout the dinner we kept wondering if we would have to pay since when Sara did it last month she didn't.  Plus the waiter would just bring us things that he thought we would like, and we didn't know if we were going to get charged. 
The bill came.... and it said $229.....  BUT thankfully the total at the bottom was $0 due to Press.  :-D  
So I got free good food and drinks.... $229 dollars worth of it.  I said thanks to biv for letting me go and told her she should go into this business.  I was fun and I would definitely go back. 
O and ps: I'll be in the newspaper with the first pic above. :)
