Hey everyone! This week posts will be a little different as Internet Week kicked off today! From now until the 8th, I will be covering this as one of Pepsi's Social Communicators! There are a total of 9 of us and you should check us all out as we will be bringing you to the forums, parties and a lot more. Much like Fashion Week, there are a lot of activities and I'm really excited to tackle them but I also want to see what everyone else thinks of the events that they're going to as well. My first event is tonight at the ContentNet Mixer and I will also be heading out to Tech Set Party at the Bubble Lounge as I had already planned on heading there prior to being chosen as one of the 9 SCs! I can't wait to share everything that I'm seeing and to Tweet all of you! You'll see me talking via @pepsico with the extra ^ks so you know it's me! I will also Tweet via @cocoabebe as well! One of the things I was asked was why I wanted to be apart of this! As someone who uses social media, I love that it is applicable to whatever it is that you're passionate about and allows you to find those that have the same interests and those that may have never been, but suddenly become that way. It's an amazing progression to see that all this technology brings us closer together and allows the person with even the smallest of budgets to put their business out there in a way that we couldn't have done 10 years ago. For those of us in fashion the runway and windows of the world take on a new look and make things much more accessible. So , I hope you enjoy my coverage and those that are apart of the team as a whole - I can't wait to begin this experience!

This weeked I'm in Chicago and if you are avid readers of the Kitten Lounge, you know that I covered Pops for Champagne in the holiday gift guide last year. Pops for Champagne is a super cute bar that has a number of champagnes available, a great crowd and a jazz bar that has music Thurs - Sun (I definitely want to come back to watch a show as I am a fan of jazz being the great neice to tenor saxophonist, Joe Henderson). Tonight, we enjoyed the Flat Bread Lamb which was an amazing combination of lamb, garlic puree, apples and this tasty melt in your mouth flat bread! This complimented our champagne which I am sad to say, I don't know the label.

This is the kind of place that you can test your champagne knowledge or put your tastebuds in the hands of staff that can find what works best for you and what compliments your meal the best. When it comes to a great night out to begin, end or stay - this is definitely a top place in Chicago to come to. I have to say, that I wish this champagne bar would be amazing to have in NYC and maybe one day it will come here (sorry Bubble Lounge). If you're in the area - come by and yes, you can still enjoy the game!
