Did you go to college? If so, what was that experience like? And what did it take for you to get across the graduation stage?

The Grinch Who Gave Back Christmas at The Underground

My name is Arturo Gomez and I am the President of Rockit Ranch Productions. Having been with the company since its inception, The Grinch party at our nightclub venue, The Underground, is by far one of my favorites. On Friday, December 4th, 2015 and for the 8th consecutive year, The Underground will be transformed into Dr. Seuss’ classic Whoville.

Cystic Fibrosis Nightcap Gala

Calling all Chicago foodies!!!

I am helping promote a very exciting night in Chicago devoted to finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, while enjoying bites from some of Chicago’s award winning restaurants and sipping on cocktails from the best mixologists in town.

Bonding over Biscuits

"You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you. You'd be like heaven to touch. I wanna hold you so much..." Every time I hear these lyrics by Frankie Valli, I'm instantly transported back to 1987. A dorky, 4 year old in velcro Transformer’s sneakers creeping to my Nana's kitchen table, eagerly awaiting a taste of her homemade lasagna or freshly baked biscotti.
