The event is being held at the Chicago Illuminating Company. Is this going to be like going to a party in the lighting section at IKEA?

The Chicago Illuminating Company no longer makes or sells lighting products. It is, however, one of the most visually stunning and best equipped venues in Chicago. Have a look for yourself at http://www.chicagoilluminatingcompany.com/

I heard that the food last year was great. What is on offer this year?

We have managed to secure the same caterers as last year who have promised us the best of food from all over Asia, as well as a new twist on some American classics. They will be serving canapés on arrival to keep you going and there will be a buffet running for most of the night so you can refuel as you need. Of course, the candy table will be there again at the end of the evening to prop up those who are flagging from too much dancing.

Highlights I am particularly looking forward to include: Spicy Tuna Wonton served in a martini glass, BBQ chicken and Jalapeno Jack dumplings, a dragon made of Maki rolls, a mountain of fresh seafood and a host of gourmet pizzas, salads and vegetarian options. There will be plenty of desserts to cater to every taste (especially those who are partial to chocolate).

There will also be an amply stocked top-shelf bar, a wide selection of soft drinks and a plethora of liveried bar staff just waiting to cater to your every whim.

People are telling me that space is limited. Am I going to be able to go?

It's really pretty simple Cinderella, you buy a ticket you get to go to the Ball. While they may not be Prince Charmings, your friendly GBC reps will be hanging around outside the Kovler Café every lunchtime begging for scraps and selling tickets until they run out. You can also buy tickets online at http://www.acteva.com/booking.cfm?bevaid=127671. We are limited to 700 tickets, so sign up soon!!

What is Chinese New Year?

Spring Festival, or the Lunar New Year (known as Chúxì, literally "change night") is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. The festival begins on the first day of the first lunar month and ends on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the month.

That looks like lots of fun. When I was in college we didn't had so many fun activities.
