You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.

Platinum blonde hair. Black bikini top. Tattoos on display. There I was—OK, there was my chosen avatar—rocking out to Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
I may have literally been bundled up after Friday’s snow fall, sipping a beer in the back room of Bucktown’s Whiskey Road, but once that plastic guitar hit my hands and I was on the tiny, corner stage tapping my toes, I felt transported.
I’d heard the buzz about the addictive nature of Guitar Hero, but I didn’t get it. The game itself is sort of like Dance, Dance Revolution for your fingertips. But the music is so much better!
Pretending to be some rock legend as you "play" tracks by The Who, Heart, Pearl Jam and the Rolling Stones? Well, that, and having your friends and "fans" cheer you on, is why this game is so great—and such an amazing social opportunity at a bar. Asking someone you’ve got your eye on to face off on a game? Now that’s a much better opening line than "What’s your favorite band?" any day.
