Guests are welcome to attend in attire inspired by the TV series, “Mad Men,” and bring a dish to feast on in the style your grandma made in the 1960s–or just add pineapple or smoke while you’re cooking. Special Hi-Fi Karaoke favorites from well-known Chicago KJ Creaoke, featuring Tony Bennett, Dino, Sammy Davis Jr. and the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
