Make Like Spies for Culture

Spy Ball 2005 from spyball.org

Chicagoist is just wild about capers ‘n such, so we’re not about to miss The Chicago Cultural Center’s third annual Spy Ball (“an evening of drinking, dancing, and espionage”) on Saturday, Feb. 5. Hosted by the Culture Club, one of the Cultural Center’s volunteer branches, the party’s proceeds support admission-free programs for folks like us who like free things.

Our very special invite promises that cocktails and appetizers are included in the price of admission, as well as music from Chicago DJ Just Joel and “aerial acrobatics” performed by members of the Actors Gymnasium. EProcess Solutions will be on hand to teach you some tricks of the trade with various spy gear gadgetry demonstrations.

Once inside, you can also purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a trip for two to Paris from Orbitz.com, cool stuff from the aforementioned EProcess Solutions, and more.

As for what “dress to kill” means, your guess is as good as ours. Ladies, you might start with “ALIAS” and work from there; gents, you can make like Inspector Clouseau or Austin Powers. Best of luck with all that.
