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.
Whip up some Sparks
Fresh-faced actor/comedian Hal Sparks doesn't exactly bring to mind the image of buff leathermen. But, sure enough, the funnyman will entertain the crowd at the 29th annual International Mr. Leather contest. (At least last year's IML joke-teller Bruce Vilanch looked like someone you'd find at Jackhammer.) Still, the ex-Boy Scout and "Queer as Folk" star (who got a start at The Second City at age 16 while attending New Trier High School) will headline the title event on Sunday at The Chicago Theatre, where one of 50 fierce contenders will claim the coveted title of International Mr. Leather. So, um...what's up with that? Well, in addition to working the room fro laughs, maybe the comedy cutie also hopes to hype his upcoming CD release from his band Zero 1. On his Web site, Sparks says, "If you don't sing your song... nobody will." We can't wait to hear his "song" this weekend.
