Chicago:
Drinking event: Wine Blending Party at Redhead Piano Bar, 16 W. Ontario St., tonight, 5:30p.m-7:30p.m. Whatever you make at this wine blending party is yours to drink. Blends from cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, malbec, merlot, to petit verdot will be on deck.
L.A.:
Film: The Illusionist Laemmle Royal Theatre, tonight, 1:00p.m., 3:10p.m., 5:20p.m., 7:30p.m., 9:40p.m, ($11). Tonight is your last chance to catch the French flick that was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film at the 2010 European Film Awards. Not the one that starred Edward Norton and (fine-ass) Jessica Biel, but still dope.
