Recession makes for strange bedfellows: High Tech goes Risque

Chicago Talks, February 11, 2009

February 10, 2009 – Tech Cocktail is one regular technology-social networking event. Now Risque Café , 3419 N Clark Chicago, IL 60657,  is announcing another — a brand new Burlesque Industry Night every Tuesday!

Also, you can look forward to Burlesque Trivia and other fun games to test your true dedication to the industry!

If you focus on the faces, not the burlesque, industry night can be a way to network and find future collaborators, get your name out in a world where "Content is King," and locate interesting internships or job openings. Of course, for this event, you will have to 21.
