Gossip Wolf wishes a happy second anniversary to the women of Party Noire, whose monthly daytime bash at the Promontory was voted the Reader‘s Best Dance Party last year. Organizers Nick Alder, Lauren Ash, and Rae Chardonnay have also produced a short film and hosted other events, among them parties in New York and a Jamila Woods record release at Double Door. On Saturday, September 9, they celebrate two years of Party Noire with an evening at the Promontory whose slate of killer DJs includes Chardonnay, Lisa Decibel, and Twelve45.
On Thursday, September 7, Young Chicago Authors heads to Rootwork Gallery in Pilsen to present LatinXchicago, a free showcase of local Latinx poets and musicians. The lineup includes two Gossip Wolf faves—singer Kaina and rapper Navarro—plus Vicky Peralta, Ken Muñoz, Jose Olivarez, Ari Franco, and DJ sets by Kane One. The event starts at 7 PM.
