Dinner and two drink tickets will be included in the price of the ticket. Cash bar will also be available throughout the event and I'm sure our sponsors will be eager to be able to introduce themselves to you and buy you a drink. The afterparty will feature a DJ for the first two hours and we're closing out the night with a 60 minute set from Fugu Dugu, a Chicago based folk-punk band led by Grammy-winning violinist and lead singer Olya Prohorova and Chicago singer-songwriter Mark Adkison.
