This first weekend in March is, of course, the weekend of the Academy Awards. We have a feeling our readers might be tempted to host a swanky Oscar party in their Chicago condos, but that’s not until Sunday night! So what other events, restaurant openings and exciting nightlife adventures should draw you out of those Chicago condos before the big movie event? Here are our suggestions this weekend.

Events
If you live in a Chicago condo, there’s a large chance that you are also a Chicago Cubs fan (Sox fans, just skip to the next event!). Just a week or two before Spring Training begins, start getting into the Cubs’ spirit with an event at Rockit Bar & Grill in Wrigleyville! Local sports expert David Kaplan of WGN 720-AM, ChicagoNow.com, and the Chicago Tribune hosts Cubs-Aholics Anonymous, where you can connect with other fans and sports media. It happens every Thursday, and it sounds like a great way to start the weekend early to us!
