The List

Hump This

Go: The Cool Kids
Tomorrow at The Underground: 56 W Illinois St, between N Rush and N Wabash; River North; 312.644.7600; 9-10pm private reception, 11pm showtime

RSVP below, and hit a private reception by Snow Queen Vodka before checking out a performance from Chicago hip-hop duo The Cool Kids -- come talking that trash to them, and welcome to the PEN15 club.

Wear: The Fukudome Kid Te
At Strange Cargo: 3448 N Clark St, at W Newport; Wrigleyville; 773.327.8090

This Karate Kid-referencing homage to the Cubs' imported savior'll add style to your fandom, but don't get carried away: the Cubs still aren't winning the Pennant unless he sweeps Albert Pujols' leg.

Mother's Day Gift: Ruby Room Spa Package
1745 W Division St, at N Hermitage; Wicker Park; 773.235.2323

Up your mother-loving ante with a $300 package that includes two one-hour spa treatments, two yoga classes, and an overnight hotel-room stay (by getting mom out of the house, you're also knocking out Father's Day, and Secretary's Day).

Buy: The Chillster Refreezable Pint

This 19oz shatterproof pint glass promises 2-3 hours of brew-chilling thanks to a base filled with non-toxic, refreezable "ice crystals" (look close enough, and you will notice Marlon Brando telling you that you're adopted).

Click: Draft Feinstein

This Wash U junior hasn't played organized hoops since the 3rd grade, but that hasn't stopped him from documenting his NBA Draft declaration and highlighting vitals like "Rebound" ("Only to Get Over Sarah"), "BLK" ("WHTE"), and "Similar Players" (Herm Klotz, the Kirk Hinrich of the 1940s).

Join: Thrillist Las Vegas

Warm weather's coming to Vegas, bringing with it lavish pools, umbrella'd cocktails, and a seasonal switch to Caribbean Stud. Sign up for Thrillist Las Vegas -- with weekly updates on the newest spots to gorge, booze, and carouse, it's a better way to get your groove back than getting busy with Taye Diggs.
