Video has been posted to YouTube documenting 24-year-old hip-hop producer/DJ Ryan Lewis jumping from a balcony at HOB into a house full of fans. Ryan performed at House of Blues on November 28 with Ben Haggerty, better known as Macklemore. He performed the same stunt in Boston on November 15.

Though members of the English rock band The Who stayed somewhere else while in town for a concert at Allstate Arena last Thursday, at least some members of the crew stayed at Marina City’s Hotel Sax, a Sax manager confirmed on Monday.

The beverage director at Bin 36 has left for a new restaurant in Evanston. Jan Henrichsen started at Found last week after two years at Marina City.
