...December now, and it’s a fitting time to look back on the musical accomplishments of the past year. It was a year that seemed to see it all, but don’t they say that every year?

The concept has been so successful that 1154 LILL has hosted parties every week since its opening last March. The soothing lime green walls are mounted with an endless array of sample handbags named after girls—Kelly, Patricia, Tiffany et al. With John Mayer blasting overhead, guests customize handbag prototypes on handsome workbench spaces in this veritable altar...
